"We are thrilled to add Dr. Weil to LIME Radio's offerings, said C.J. Kettler, CEO and Founder of LIME. "Tips on how to live a healthier, greener and more balanced lifestyle are in high-demand - ranging from the ‘hard-core' person who completely changes their life to the person who wants to do a few simple things everyday. Our new radio line-up, headlined by Dr. Weil, will offer a question and answer call-in format that allows all listeners a chance to talk with this celebrated integrative medicine expert on a one-on-one basis."
Dr. Weil adds, "I am extremely pleased to announce my new radio program on LIME Radio's channel on Sirius Satellite Radio. It is the perfect medium and opportunity to reach a national audience with the latest information on optimum health and integrative medicine-even more so, to connect one on one with listeners in an intimate forum. I look forward to the exchange. I feel that LIME and Weil Lifestyle are perfectly teamed up with shared values....that of providing an authentically integrative approach to health and wellness."
Dr. Weil is the five-time best-selling author of such titles as: Healthy Aging, Eating Well For Optimum Health, Spontaneous Healing, 8 Weeks To Optimum Health, and The Healthy Kitchen. As the founding director of the Program in Integrative Medicine (PIM) at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, and frequent guest on Larry King Live, Oprah, and The Today Show, Dr. Weil will provide valuable information and insight on how to incorporate conventional and complementary medicine practices in one's life to optimize the body's natural healing power.
The format change occurred based on research conducted by LIME that showed listeners enjoyed and connected most with LIME Radio when they were able to call in and talk with the "green" and healthy living experts in real time.
