I own many of Dr. Weil's books and this one is probably one of my favorite. I actually bought the audio book first, but the content was so useful that I wanted to have the book as a reference to look things up. I've incorporated many of his suggestions and I have more energy and don't get sick as often. Highly recommend this to everyone who care about their health!!! Review: probably one of the best health books out there - I've done a lot of study on becoming healthy and this is probably one of the best books I've seen on this subject. Dr. Weil has set up a really great, easy to implement way to get started in the path toward great health. I first "read" this book via an audio book and had to buy the hardcover book so I would have something to refer to for each of the week's changes and so I could reread all the great ideas. I also love that he doesn't require you to buy his products, he has products available but you don't have to use them. Its more for your ease if you choose and because so many people have asked him for them. This program really does help your body to heal itself and maintain good health. Don't expect an overnight success but you will feel so much better it can feel like it might be miraculous. Instead you should just ask your HMO why they don't suggest these things if they are really focused on prevention instead of intervention. ## Features - Author: Andrew Weil. - Publisher: Ballantine Books - Pages: 320 - Publication Date: 2007 - Edition: Revised ed. - Binding: Paperback - MSRP: 17 - ISBN13: 9780345498021 - ISBN: 034549802X - Other ISBN: 9780307834188 - Other ISBN Binding: printisbn - Language: en ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #141,965 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #72 in Exercise Injuries & Rehabilitation #275 in Healing #8,581 in Medical Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 634 Reviews | ## Images ![8 Weeks to Optimum Health: A Proven Program for Taking Full Advantage of Your Body's Natural Healing Power - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717h0d0teOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE this book! *by L***G on September 16, 2013* Really practical advices, easy to read and understand. I own many of Dr. Weil's books and this one is probably one of my favorite. I actually bought the audio book first, but the content was so useful that I wanted to have the book as a reference to look things up.

Highly recommend this to everyone who care about their health!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ probably one of the best health books out there *by J***N on August 6, 2007* I've done a lot of study on becoming healthy and this is probably one of the best books I've seen on this subject.

That's happened within the past 2 years. overall I think Dr. Weil gives solid advice for someone beginning a healthier lifestyle. I like the way he has you adapt just a few new habits each week - always any easier transition than making major changes all at once. And the advice is given in the context of easing into them at your pace and achieveing the balance that feels right to you. The reader can make certain areas of the diet/exercise/meditation more rigid/extreme, but Weil doesn't promote this as the only path to health. Weil also stresses the importance of spiritual and mental wellness - the idea that you can get every aspect of your diet, exercise supplements right, but if you aren't nurturing loving relationships and taking the time to relax, recharge and practice mindfulness/breathing techniques - you are missing an important area of achieveing optimal health - the feeling of fulfillment that is key and complementary to the physical aspects of health and healing. The only area that is a little lacking is that some of the recommendations are not supported with much background on why Weil recommends. Because of the work Weil has done in this field I am certain it is well informed advice, but the supporting information is not always provided. Some readers will have an understanding why Weil recommends things like milk thistle, evening primrose oil, purified water as opposed to tap - but more information would help clarify the advice for others. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/1966210-8-weeks-to-optimum-health-a-proven-program-for-taking](https://www.desertcart.no/products/1966210-8-weeks-to-optimum-health-a-proven-program-for-taking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
