Farm-based Healthcare with Dr. Ron Weiss - PTP303

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Dr. Ron Weiss about farm-based healthcare. Have you ever hear that term before? Dr. Weiss’s approach to prescriptions is not what you would get from a conventional medical doctor today, but it’s right in line with what we love here at Plant Trainers. You’ll hear how his dad’s health had a lot to do with him ditching the Medical Building practice and heading out to the farm for a more holistic, lifestyle medicine approach where he can grow his own medicine. And no, we are not talking about the newly legalized drugs here in Canada...we are talking about edible plants you'd find in the grocery store, only better. With tons of research and devotion to evidence-based farming and regenerative organic agriculture, Dr. Weiss and his team is making a new category in the medical field (see what we did there...field…). You’ll want to listen to the end as he shares his 5 pillars of lifestyle medicine that will make you want to book a getaway to see the land or at least get started in your own home today.
