A typical post picks up 33 interactions against 573K followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 36 original posts, its engagement rate beats 27% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 4.3K times each, and 0.774% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.744% 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 Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 36 posts sampled, 19% carry an image or video and 83% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 182 interactions, about 5.5x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Andrew Weil, M.D.'s engagement rate beats 27% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 40% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 19% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 83% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 19% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 83% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 193 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

What is the vagus nerve, and why is it important? The vagus nerve plays a key role in the mind-body connection, influencing digestion, heart rate, and the body's response to stress. In this video, I discuss vagus nerve stimulation and its potential benefits for health and well-being. Understanding how the nervous system works is an important part of integrative medicine. #DrWeil #VagusNerve #MindBodyHealth #IntegrativeMedicine #NervousSystem #HealthyLiving

Strawberries are in season, and this is a good time to enjoy them at their best. 🍓 Berries are an important part of my Anti-Inflammatory Diet. Strawberries provide vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidant compounds that can help protect cells from oxidative stress. Eating with the seasons is one of the simplest ways to bring more variety, flavor, and nourishment to your diet. #DrWeil #AntiInflammatoryDiet #Strawberries #SeasonalEating #FoodAsMedicine #HealthyEating

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

Stay curious.I believe maintaining an active, engaged mind is every bit as important as caring for the body. Continue learning. Explore the natural world. Develop new interests. Ask questions. And make time for the things that inspire a sense of wonder. Healthy aging isn’t simply about adding years to life. It’s about staying engaged with life as the years pass.#DrWeil #HealthyAging #AgingWell #HealthyMind #Longevity #IntegrativeMedicine #Wellness

- What is Andrew Weil, M.D.'s engagement rate on X?
- Andrew Weil, M.D. (@DrWeil) has an engagement rate of 0.006%, based on the median interactions across 36 original posts from the last 30 days against 573,164 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.006%, Andrew Weil, M.D. sits above the 10th percentile of the 211,892 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 27% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range 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 Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.2 posts per day across the measured window.
