Dr. Weil established the practice of integrative medicine, combining conventional and alternative healing.

With locations in Arizona, California, and Colorado, his True Food Kitchen restaurants, which incorporate his dietary beliefs into the menu, have begun creating healthier communities all over the country. His new cookbook, Fast Food, Good Food, was released in October 2015.

Focused on sustainability and community, Dr. Weil donates 100% of his Origins proceeds to the Weil Foundation, which has given out over $4.1 million in grants.
