Plant-based Nutrition: A Pillar of Lifestyle Medicine
The relationship between nutrition and health is frequently misunderstood and ignored until either we ourselves experience health issues or we see a loved one experience health issues. We often believe that we are experts on food choices and that we are immune to lifestyle diseases.
Beginning My Whole Food Plant-Based Journey
In Fall 2019 my wife Deb and I purchased an old farm property in Oldwick, New Jersey and over the following two years transformed it into a sustainable homestead where we farm organic cereal grains, fruits, berries, and vegetables. As lifelong foodies, one of the first things we did after purchasing our property was to search out the finest local organic farms so that we’d have great food to eat while we lived in a rental and built our farmhouse. Little did we know that finding The Doctor’s Farm Market at Ethos would completely change our lives.
Ethos Farm to Health supports both human and planetary health
Ethos Farm to Health was founded and nurtured by Dr. Ronald Weiss. Dr. Weiss has embraced the fabled quote attributed to Hippocrates, the “father of medicine:” “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. The best medicine would be the healthiest food – for the health of both people and the planet. Ethos Farm supplies just such food, using strictly organic agricultural practices.
