Description

"Take your broccoli and call me in the morning." Imagine a world where prescriptions sound like this. Join Elizabeth in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Amy Sapola, the visionary Director of Farmacy at the Farmer Jones Farm at Chef’s Garden. Driven by her mission to blend regenerative agriculture with human well-being, Dr. Amy takes us on a journey to uncover the interconnected magic of farm and pharma.In this week's episode, Amy talks about the enchanting synergy between soil and soul. She shares her wisdom on how we can develop a more profound relationship with food and the chefs that grow them, paving the way for a healthier future. As a certified wellness coach and Institute for Functional Medicine practitioner, Amy shares her advice on how to eat better, the art of eating seasonally to optimize nutrients, and the challenges we currently face in farming that we will have to overcome in the near future. Amy and Elizabeth talk about the different boxes that Farmer Jones Farm offers, including the new fun collab box with Purely Elizabeth!What You’ll Hear In This Episode:Amy’s own journey into health, wellness and mindful eating. How Amy’s experience both in the pharmacy space and functional medicine serves her helping others today at Farmer Jones Farm at The Chef’s Garden. Farmer Jones Farm is a brick and mortar farm and online market, and the fresh produce sold is out of The Chef’s Garden, a family farm in Ohio.Amy’s belief that agriculture and healthcare both face a lot of the same problems, and should be working together. Not only is Farmer Jones Farm offering a great mix of 600 different varieties of vegetables, microgreens, edible flowers and herbs (and more!) but they have a lab to look at minerals and soil health. Amy simply defines regenerative ag, organic, and how we can understand what’s in (or missing from) our food without succumbing to buzzwords. Farmer Jones can also work with you personally on prescribing a box that fits what health challenges you are looking to overcome or what area of health you are looking to focus on. How can we better support our local farmers? What did Amy take away from attending the first Regenerative Health Conference?Tips to start incorporating more veggies in your diet, and tangible statistics that show just how much of a profound shift in your health it can make!  Amy’s non-negotiable: finding downtime for herself.
