    Dr. Weiss, founder of Ethos Primary Care, embodies what it means to be a true primary care doctor. He listens deeply and compassionately, fully aware that your health is a direct result of how you eat, sleep, move, stress, and your connection to nature. He is the kind of doctor who will help you trade your prescriptions for plants. Deeply committed to helping people obtain their optimal health through living a mindful, whole plant food-based lifestyle for more than 30 years, Dr. Weiss has been helping people reverse and prevent disease and illness to live a more energized, fulfilled life.

    Dr. Weiss is also the founder of Ethos Farm Project, a nonprofit organization and semifinalist in the Rockefeller Foundation 2050 Food System Vision Prize competition. He has been featured in top media, including The New York Times, The New York Post, The Today Show, New Jersey Monthly, and the feature-length documentary, "Eating You Alive."

    The mission of Ethos Farm Project is to address the interconnected nature of how agriculture affects human health, planetary health, and our relationship with animals. To achieve this, his 388-acre historic farm in Long Valley NJ where he operates Ethos Primary Care from, produces truly nourishing food to feed the community, restoring the land, all while cultivating and empowering a new generation of farmers, doctors, and nurses through hands-on educational programming.

    Dr Weiss feels that he is fulfilling his purpose in life through the work he does as a Board Certified, Lifestyle Medicine physician and the work he does through his nonprofit, Ethos Farm Project. Connecting his life’s passion for medicine and the environment, Dr. Weiss believes we need “all hands on deck” to combat the healthcare and environmental crises we now face as a species, in order to ensure a habitable planet for our children.

    Dr. Weiss is here monthly, on Chef AJ, to answer any and all medical questions you may have. An experienced primary care doctor, there is no question too simple or too complex for him to handle.

    Wild Food Girl Erica Davis is a forager and teacher of edible wild plants—all of which can be a great, free, organic addition to any plant-based diet. Many are common garden weeds you are sure to recognize.

If you want ALL the web classes plus 1,000 pages of photo-filled educational content and other goodies, there’s an affordable membership program called WFG Learn (https://wildfoodgirl.com/sp/wfg-learn/).

    Erica embraced a plant-based, SOS-free diet in 2020 after a breast cancer diagnosis. She lost 25 pounds, and saw her lifelong asthma vanish without a trace. She is currently working to translate her wild food recipes and culinary techniques into healthy vegan alternatives.
