Andrew Weil, MD, Innate Response co-develop first Seasonal Therapeutics program

June 25, 2012 — Andrew Weil, MD, the father of integrative medicine and botanist by training, believes that nature holds many of the answers for leading healthier and  richer lives. Using nature as a template, he has developed, along with his colleague and scientific advisor, Tieraona Low Dog, MD, and the team at Innate Response, a leading line of professional nutritional supplements, a seasonal approach for maintaining health and wellness.

“Just as our dietary choices should be influenced by seasonal changes — more fruit in summer, for example, and more root vegetables in winter — so should our choices of dietary supplements and natural remedies,” says Weil. “Our unique Seasonal Therapeutics program makes it easy, providing patients with formulations tailored to the particular needs of their body in each season of the year.”

Weil’s Seasonal Therapeutics is the first program of its kind in the integrative healthcare industry, blending cutting-edge science and integrative medicine together with the change of the seasons. Seasonal Therapeutics focuses on achieving emotional wellness through lifestyle, behavioral, and dietary changes based on an array of holistic and modern therapies and the time of year.

“We feel that there is a missing piece in healthcare, that it’s not just about what dietary changes or nutritional supplements to recommend, but also when to recommend them.” says the newly appointed director of product development for Innate Response formulas, Adam Killpartrick, DC. “We are incredibly passionate about education and thrilled to be able to work with Dr. Weil and Dr. Low Dog to share this powerful message. Our aim is to empower practitioners with outstanding programs and products so they can better serve their patients and change lives.”

“The long-term consequences of stress and modern lifestyle have had a serious impact on our physical and emotional health. We no longer live, eat, or sleep in harmony with our environment,” says Low Dog. “By incorporating and aligning a truly integrative program, including stress management, healthy nutrition, and the appropriate use of dietary supplements, we can provide a health program that supports our body’s innate response as we move through the seasons of our lives.”

To launch this initiative, Innate Response is proud to announce the Seasonal Therapeutics seminar series for healthcare practitioners that uses an evidence-based, nature-oriented, seasonal approach to wellness. This series will be presented by a pioneer in the field of integrative medicine, Tieraona Low Dog, MD, fellowship director at the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine and author of National Geographic’s Life is Your Best Medicine. The first seminar of this series, Autumn: Strategies for Optimal Health, will begin on Aug. 25, 2012, in Boston.

CEUs are pending for this event for DCs and NDs. And if you register before Aug. 1, 2012, the cost is $129. That in itself is an incredible price for a turnkey system to implement in your office all year round. But once you register and show up for the event, you’ll be presented with a product credit for Innate Response products for the same amount that you paid for the ticket.
