STUDIO CITY (CBS) — Wellness Week 2012 (Mar. 19-25) is around the corner and Mariel Hemingway and Bobby Williams stopped by the KCAL9 studios Friday to talk about how to lead a healthier life.

Mariel is also the author of “Finding My Balance” and “Healthy Living from the Inside Out.” Coming from a family with a history of mental health issues, including the suicides of her grandfather Ernest Hemingway and sister Margaux Hemingway, Mariel struggled with eating disorders and tried countless diets and exercise fads in her quest to achieve balance.

During Wellness Week, over 500 spas, fitness centers, yoga and Pilates studios, and other wellness businesses across the country will be hosting free wellness workshops and offering 50% discounts on treatments, services and classes throughout the week.
