Food Is Medicine? Meet the Doctor Growing It

Food Is Medicine? Meet the Doctor Growing It

Can food really be medicine? Dr. Ron Weiss is a physician who believes the answer starts long before a meal reaches your plate—it starts in the soil.

In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Chuck Carroll visits with Dr. Weiss about his unique model of care at Ethos Farm in New Jersey, where regenerative farming and lifestyle-based primary care come together. They explore why soil health matters, what "living soil" means, and how whole plant foods can become a practical, powerful part of a healthier life.

Dr. Weiss also shares how he helps patients make lasting changes without turning healthy eating into an impossible all-or-nothing assignment. From the first plant-based meal to a more intentional plate, this is a conversation about making better health feel more approachable.

You'll learn:

  • Why Dr. Weiss says the first priority is to eat more whole plants
  • What regenerative farming and healthy soil have to do with the food we eat
  • How minimally processed plant foods differ from heavily processed options
  • Why a healthy lifestyle should be practical, personal, and sustainable
  • What patients can expect from Dr. Weiss's farm-based model of care
  • How coaching, lab work, and lifestyle changes can fit into a long-term health plan
  • Why community support can make healthy change easier to maintain
  • How to take your first realistic step toward eating more plant-based foods

Dr. Weiss will also be joining Chuck, Chef AJ, Carleigh Bodrug from PlantYou, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz and others at the Plant Powered Party in Las Vegas, September 4–6, 2026. It's a full weekend of inspiring speakers, practical presentations, delicious plant-based food, and community. Join in person or watch online from anywhere.
