This section now lives in our current guides

You followed a link to an older page on Be Well. The site has been rebuilt around clear, current educational guides to integrative and lifestyle medicine. Whatever that page covered now lives, updated and in plain language, in the guides below.

This page preserves an original Be Well URL so the link you followed still works. Use the guides below to find the current version of what you were looking for. Everything here is general education, not medical advice; for anything about your own health, see your clinician.

Our coverage is organized by topic, from the foundations of integrative medicine to supplements, nutrition, mind-body practices, and reading the evidence. Start with whichever fits:

Be Well publishes general educational information about integrative and lifestyle medicine. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from a licensed clinician who knows your history. We are not a medical practice and do not have a doctor-patient relationship with readers. Supplements and herbs can interact with medications and are not appropriate for everyone, so talk with your own physician or pharmacist before starting, stopping, or changing anything, and seek prompt care for any urgent or worsening symptom. Statements about supplements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Where the evidence is uncertain, we say so.
