Description
James’ guest on this episode is Dr. Andrew Weil, the founder and leader of a fellowship program for integrative medicine through the University of Arizona. In this role and others, he has significant influence on future generations of integrative medicine practitioners. In this conversation, Dr. Weil discusses the current state of integrative medicine and his vision for the future. Integrative medicine is becoming more mainstream in the United States, with many medical schools teaching some form of it. However, there is still a long way to go in changing the paradigm of conventional medicine and fully integrating health-promoting practices. Dr. Weil believes that history is on the side of integrative medicine and that it will eventually become the standard of care. Listen to the full show to discover what is needed going forward to evolve medicine from our guest’s perspective. This dynamic conversation also touched upon the following topics: The role of psychedelics in integrative medicine A vision of the future where allopathic medicine is a subspecialty focused on critical care, trauma and terminal care The lack of financial incentives for health-promoting and preventative medicine The need for studies that compare conventional and integrative medicine in terms of patient outcomes And much more! This interview was also featured in the January 2024 Functional Forum, which kickstarted the Evolution of Medicine’s year of unity.
