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.

[Elizerinc]

Love your Q & A's with Dr. Weiss. He seems like a practical, nice, level headed doc. Sorry to hear about his experience with Lyme's Disease. Scary how it can affect your heart that way. Has he suffered any long term heart damage from lyme's?

[nazeeniranfar]

Thank you so much chef AJ and Dr. Weiss 🙏🏻 Dr. Weiss is absolutely amazing and I so appreciate his depth of knowledge and his kind heart for engaging with us and answering our question with such precision 🙏🏻 blessings 💗💗

Pets do help you question eating animals❤️I recently discovered Dr. Weiss and now I’m going back and watching earlier episodes. He is wonderful!

[gaililimaroberts]

My tried and successful pre-colonoscopy diet: big bowls of Thai soup made with rice noodles, tofu, soy milk and a little bit of red curry paste for flavor.

The explanation and cure for leg camps is awesome, amazing. The subject has often been discussed here and there, with sodium levels, magnesium pointed out to explain and offer a cure. Dr Weiss's explanation seems quite reasonable and plausible: indeed I have had camps after plane journeys, with those taxi rides to and from the airport, the queues for security check etc. which crawl on slowly, the sitting about before boarding, then the two hour plus of just sitting in the plane: no wonder I get camps that night.

I've been watching older videos of this series with Dr. Weiss which are new for me. Thank you again, Chef AJ, for your show which is very good.

[juliecampbell]

Wonderful, informative interview! I don't think I've heard Dr. Weiss before. He's great! I'll look for more from him. Chef AJ, thank you so much for bringing so many interesting and informative people to us.

I drank coconut water, apple juice and water on the clear liquid day before my colonoscopy. In the past when I drank only water I got very dehydrated, ended up with a migraine and nausea. You definitely need to replace your electrolytes on that day with something besides water.

[lorilipsmacker]

Great video. Since I started taking magnesium I no longer have those leg cramps.

[valeriehopebennett]

WONDERFUL THANKS YO ARE GREAT LOVE IT. AMSTERDAM HOLLAND.

[marleri]

Great Q&A talk!

On the last Q
I thought calf cramps could be caused by compromised blood circulation.??

[osnatshaibe]

You were asking “what WFPB SOS free diet can’t fix?”. And I, unfortunately can say that it doesn’t cure my SIBO - IBS condition 😢.

[GreenTeaMe]

The SuTab is much easier to do than the liquid prep. Much easier.

[lindageddis]

I pills are very expensive and most insurance companies do not cover them.

[jgrysiak]

My hemorrhoids went away after starting a WFPB diet. I dont know what this Doctor is talking about.

[EmilyF-ro]

Agreed, watching how the hems practically melted away within 48 hours, feels so good lol, I used what I talked about the other day, well it actually took about 72 hours for them to totally shrink and disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and the relief is so worth it.
