Andrew Weil, M.D. engagement report
@DrWeil - 566K followers on X
Measured over 37 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 26, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 27 interactions against 566K followers, an engagement rate of 0.005%. Measured over 37 original posts, its engagement rate beats 24% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 5.1K times each, and 0.534% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.893% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 37 posts sampled, 22% carry an image or video and 81% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 180 interactions, about 6.7x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #nutrition, #integrativemedicine, #healthyeating.

Compared with accounts its own size
Andrew Weil, M.D.'s engagement rate beats 24% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 36% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Are seed oils toxic? It’s not quite that simple. I’ve long recommended limiting oils high in omega-6 fatty acids, particularly the refined seed oils. The issue is not that an occasional serving is “toxic,” but that our modern diet provides far too much omega-6 and too little omega-3, an imbalance that may promote inflammation. For everyday cooking, I continue to recommend extra-virgin olive oil. As an advisor to the Seed Oil Free Alliance, I’m pleased to support greater transparency and better choices for consumers. #DrWeil #SeedOils #AntiInflammatoryDiet #HealthyFats #Nutrition #IntegrativeMedicine

While it might sound counterintuitive, I actually don't recommend chasing happiness. Instead, practice cultivating contentment, which can sustain you through life's ups and downs.

- What is Andrew Weil, M.D.'s engagement rate on X?
- Andrew Weil, M.D. (@DrWeil) has an engagement rate of 0.005%, based on the median interactions across 37 original posts from the last 30 days against 565,651 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.005%, Andrew Weil, M.D. sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @DrWeil have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 24% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @DrWeil post?
- Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.23 posts per day across the measured window.
