Silver Spring, April 3, 2007—Acacia announces the June 12, 2007 DVD release of Dr. Andrew Weil’s Guide to Eating Well, based on the New York Times bestseller Eating Well for Optimum Health.

Good carbs, bad carbs? Low fat, no fat? Is protein the solution or the problem? After so much conflicting diet advice, one of America’s best-known and most respected doctors offers a sensible approach that emphasizes enjoyment over deprivation and long-term health benefits over short-term weight loss. Dr. Weil assures us there is no confusion among nutritional experts about the optimal diet for health and longevity. And it’s the very same diet that will naturally keep you at a healthy weight. Understanding inflammation to be the root cause of many chronic illnesses, he provides science-based recommendations to help combat specific health concerns, all as part of what he calls the Anti-Inflammatory Diet. He also addresses the subject of dietary supplements, what’s downright dangerous and what can help.

DVD special features include: a printed Eating Well Pocket Guide that encapsulates much of Dr. Weil’s advice, including energy-boosting eating tips and a shopping cart guide to the healthiest foods; bonus footage not seen on the PBS broadcast; and a bio of Dr. Weil.

Andrew Weil M.D., a graduate of Harvard Medical School, has written several bestselling books, including Healthy Aging and 8 Weeks to Optimum Health. He is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Arizona and director of their Program in Integrative Medicine. Integrative medicine emphasizes prevention over treatment, taking into account the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) and making use of both conventional and alternative therapies. Dr. Weil is a regular guest on national shows such as Oprah, Today, Larry King Live, and Good Morning America; subject of two Time cover stories in the last ten years; and named one of Time’s 100 most influential people in the world in 2005.
