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.

I love Dr. Weiss. Thanks Chef A.J. for bringing him to us.

Regarding spices one thing I do is to keep two brands of those I use every day (grown in different regions), so I use each brand roughly alternating. I buy organic but still. As I recall turmeric is the big one for lead contamination.

Coincidentally, I noticed white patches on my knuckles, the first knuckle of the right hand and less so on the ring finger of the left hand. Vitiligo, I thought; not a happy thought. Finally I went to a dermatologist who immediately said it was trauma. Surprising for me. She demonstrated how on picking up a cellphone from the table the knuckle brushes against the table surface. I was advised to be careful of avoiding such contact, as "after 60" - which I am, not senile I hope but older and clearly deteriorating physically - the skin doesn't heal very well hence the marks. And she recommended a moisturising cream for my hands for two months, then to be followed by something to rub in order to bring back the colour if I wish. Well it was a relief to learn I had secondary vitiligo, due to trauma, and not primary vitiligo which I understand is something of a confusing and mysterious condition. The trauma of the question answered by Dr. Weiss now reminded me of this.

In How Not To Age, Dr. Greger says that less than 1 Tblsp/day of cocoa powder showed significant improvement in muscle mass strength, and circulation within skin was boosted by 70% within 2 hours. He buys cocoa powder at Target which he says tests the lowest for heavy metals. He uses one Tblsp/day on his oatmeal.

[@Elizabeth-dg8dn]

Target brand cocoa powder?

[@laurasoftheart]

It’s all so depressing what we have done and continue to do to this planet . 😢

[@yvonneraley3050]

What about 100% chocolate and a whole date? That's what I eat when I want a treat. I've heard it's brain food.

[@blee309]

Very happy that I have never eaten much chocolate. I mean very little in my 76 years. In fact I get annoyed because all of the younger recipe developers are constantly making chocolate recipes. lol I just don't care for it!

[@kardste8114]

Dr. Weiss- How 😱 Scary! It’s not even Halloween yet! 👻 Thank you for this important information on heavy metals, rice and cacao… PFas. 👀😬😳💜

I want to say to the doctor that he should not expect that we all plant food. I love in Texas as where it is very rocky. Also I am 76 and have scoliosis and can’t bend over to plant. I shop at HEB and buy organic as much as is there. Also gomto Natural Grocers and buy what i can there. Whole foods is an hour one way so i go-there ever few months. It seems he expects everyone should be able to plant. I found about this way of eating 6 years 2 months ago.
