The book emphasizes the potential for achieving transcendent states without relying on substances, highlighting the importance of set and setting in these experiences.
In *Healthy Aging*, Dr. Andrew Weil provides a holistic approach to aging, emphasizing the importance of an anti-inflammatory diet, regular exercise, stress management, and understanding the science behind aging.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... the new year starts off with a Legacy Upgrade conversation between Dave Asprey and Dr. Andrew Weil recorded live at True Food Kitchen in Phoenix, Arizona.
Dr. Weil’s an internationally known pioneer and leader in integrative medicine. He’s also a Harvard-trained botanist and medical doctor recognized worldwide for his views on living a healthy lifestyle, his philosophy of healthy aging, and his critique of the future of medicine and health care.
This broad discussion both hits the high points and goes deep into nutrition, aging, energy, lifestyle, and, of course, tea. Specifically, vibrant green matcha. (Or as Dave says, “It looks like green paint.”) There’s a lot of knowledge and humor shared, as well as hard-hitting truths: “One of the most toxic cultural messages here is that the value of life diminishes with aging,” Dr. Weil says.
His five pillars of good health touch on foundational elements that contribute to your core vitality and life force.
- Eat right! Learn the principles of nutrition and apply them to your life
- Get regular physical activity
- Learn and practice methods to neutralize the harmful effects of stress
- Maintain emotional and intellectual connectivity as you go through life
- Attend to your spiritual well-being
