About this listen
Eight Weeks to Optimum Health focuses all of Andrew Weil's expertise in both conventional and alternative medicine on a practical week-by-week, step-by-step plan, covering diet, exercise, lifestyle, stress, and environment - all the aspects of daily living that affect health and well-being. And he shows how his program can be tailored to the specific needs of pregnant women, senior citizens, overweight people, and those at risk for cancer, among others.
Dr. Weil has added the most up-to-date findings on such vital subjects as cholesterol, antioxidants, trans fats, toxic residues in the food supply, soy products, and vitamins and supplements, together with a greatly enhanced source list for information and supplies.
Preventive in the broadest sense, straightforward, and encouraging, Eight Weeks to Optimum Health has proved to be, and in this updated version will continue to be, an essential book.

Few people are aware of the importance of sufficient testosterone levels in women. A healthy dosage helps women slim down, improves mood, lowers the risk of cardiac disease, increases energy and libido, prevents osteoporosis, enhances skin tone and texture, and may even prevent cognitive decline - yet more than 90% of women over age 45 suffer from low testosterone levels. In The Hormone Secret, Meraglia offers an evidence-based 30-day plan to restore healthy levels of testosterone and balance other hormones based on lifestyle modifications.

Why are people gaining weight faster than ever before? According to Alan Christianson, NMD, our bodies are under attack from all directions - an overabundance of processed food, a polluted world, and the pressures of daily life all take their toll. These attacks hit a little known but very important set of glands, the adrenals, particularly hard. One of the many jobs of the adrenals is to maintain a normal cortisol rhythm.

Better as a regular book
I did really get a lot from this book. He explains why some foods that we hear about aren't good for you. He doesn't just say don't do this or that, he explains what is in certain foods that can harm you and how they harm you. Its your choice then to decide what to put in your body. He also takes all the changes very slow which is a huge key to change in my opinion.
The reason I think this is better as a paper book is to have the recipes easy to use at your finger tips. I went to a used bookstore and had the book on hand as I listened to it as well in my car.

Lots of Information
What did you love best about Eight Weeks to Optimum Health?
Seems to be based on science and not popular opinion
What was one of the most memorable moments of Eight Weeks to Optimum Health?
There is no one item.
Which character – as performed by Stephen Hoye – was your favorite?
N/A
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely not. Too much information to absorb.
Any additional comments?
Be prepared for a lot of information. Well worth listening to. Wished it had a PDF with it when it came to the last chapter on vitamins and supplements.

Great Book with Practical and Doable Advice
The book itself is a great book. I like how Dr. Weil does not FORCE you to drastically change your life in 8 weeks. His advice is very accurate but very sensible. You do not feel overwhelmed by all the changes that a lot of folks suggest so as you read/listen to this book you know that you can apply the principles in this book to your life...no matter what your current lifestyle is. I do recommend the hard copy as well as he's got a lot of recipes and other items that you might find helpful to be able to reference in text as opposed to just audio. Overall its a great book and I recommend it to anybody that wants to life a healthier more meaningful life.

Odd voice recording
I really enjoy Dr. Weil's books and have listened to him on audio in the past...so I expected that this book would be in his own voice. It isn't. It has a strange cadence and is very unlike Dr. Weil's voice. It's very off putting. And, a shame too because the information is so very valuable. Good book... just a strange recording.

Good book... but....
The book as a whole is an excellent source for alternate wellness. The only downside that I found was that the audible version does not come with the recipes and appendix that are refered throughout the book. I had to go out and purchase the book, after purchasing the audible version, for the recipes and other references made in the book. Other than that it is an excellent well written book on preventative health.

excellent book poorly produced
Dr. Weil's approach moves you toward your optimum health one small intelligent change at a time starting from wherever you are right now.
Unfortunately this wonderful book is narrated in a "radio voice" manner by one who doesn't appear to understand the meaning of the words and phrases he reads.
Additionally frustrating is the frequent instruction to refer to appendices which do not exist in the audio edition, while at the same time each recipe is read in full detail aloud.
This book is much too good for the shoddy production it received and one is forced to purchase the paper edition to get the value of Dr. Weil's amazing advise.

The Best Book of its Kind
I have revisited this book so many times in print form, and downloaded it in audio so I could listen on a road trip. Though it is hard to keep track of all the recommendations on audio, it is a great companion to the print book.
The concept is based on adding healthy foods and practices, not removing unhealthy ones. The unhealthy foods and practices seem to naturally fall away when you are practicing good ones. It is a much less white-knuckle approach to lifestyle change, and I believe this makes it much easier to implement for people who have a hard time implementing dietary and lifestyle changes.
