Alisa Fleming ~ I found Heal Your Self to be a fascinating look at the various aspects of our health and what goes into it. Here is the quick summary of the movie, which I think covers the gist of it nicely:

"Heal Your Self speaks to a unique mix of doctors, healers, educators and survivors of all too common illnesses which include cancer, obesity, Crohns disease and even alcoholism. These are people who took their health into their own hands, took responsibility for their illness and healed themselves.

With the emphasis on creating positive change in your life, we examine topics that include food; emotional and environmental stress; the power of the mind through the placebo effect; love; meditation and visualization; self-education and practical things you can do for yourself."

Everything about Heal Your Self shouted "awareness" to me. At first, I wondered if they were simply going to point out issues of concern, or if they were going to offer actual solutions, but then I realized their process. Many of the suggestions put forth in this movie may sound extreme to some people at first, so the director eases you into them. The viewer is warmed up to the changes so that they don't appear as threatening, and in fact sound quite doable by the end of the film.

If you are dealing with substantial health issues or are on the fence about things like trialing a raw food diet or switching to a more natural lifestyle, then I think Heal Your Self might be the gentle nudge you are looking for.
