Who We Are
DrWeil.com is a leading provider of online information and products for optimum health and wellness. For the last five years, the “Ask Dr. Weil” online feature
of our premier web destinations,
www.drweil.com
and
www.askdrweil.com
has provided a tradition of quality online solutions for consumers and
professionals, and was notably one of the first online help resources available
on the Web. DrWeil.com is owned by Polaris Health, LLC, a Phoenix, Arizona-based holding company founded by Andrew Weil, M.D.
Polaris
Health, LLC is controlled by Dr. Andrew Weil; the assets that contribute to
the capital of the corporation include the Web site and capital raised by Angel
Investors, private individuals who believe in the work Dr. Weil is accomplishing. Funding for Polaris Health LLC is independent allowing the company and this Web site to provide only the products and services in which Dr. Weil believes. Because of our shared values and the profiles of our
investors, we are free from any sort of bias which could possibly arise from
corporate stakeholder influence. Today, Polaris Health, LLC exclusively
markets a line of health and wellness products under the Polaris trademark. We
will only provide products and services that pass the scrutiny of Dr. Weil.
All of Dr
Weil’s after–tax profits from products and services derived from Polaris
Health, LLC go directly to the Polaris Foundation, a non-profit foundation
supporting Dr. Weil’s dream of advancing the cause of Integrative Medicine and
optimum health around the world. Dr. Weil does not personally benefit, directly
or indirectly, from the capital proceeds of Polaris Health LLC or the Polaris
Foundation.
The Polaris
Foundation is a non-profit organization, and like the North Star (polestar)
after which it is named, aims to be a guiding light on the path to optimum
health by furthering knowledge and acceptance of Integrative Medicine. The
Polaris Foundation is sustaining the vision of Integrative Medicine by working
towards changes in education, research, patient care and public policy.
Integrative Medicine is a healing-oriented system that brings together the best
medical and therapeutic practices from around the world to form a unified
approach to health maintenance. The common thread among the varied therapies
that form the basis of Integrative Medicine is the consistent focus on the
body’s own innate mechanisms of healing. Specifically, the Polaris Foundation
supports the University of Arizona Health Sciences Program in Integrative
Medicine (PIM), founded in 1994 by Dr. Weil. This program features a fully
operational clinic, fellowship training and cutting-edge research.
