I am a practicing OB/GYN with particular focus on primary care of women through all stages of life. I have been the acting director of reproductive medicine (caring for infertility)for many years and in that context have developed a lifestyle program ( The LIFE PROGRAM) which has evolved to cover a full range of evidence-based prevention encompassing the gamut of chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, dementia, cancers and many others. We now have compelling evidence that these epidemic-wide problems are preventable and in some cases reversible. 
On a personal note, my family and I try to be as self sufficient as possible. We raise much of our own food by tending a large organic garden and orchard based on regenerative agriculture. Gardening is a metaphor for health, figuratively and literally. The health of soil is not unlike the micro biome we carry within us.
