Dr. Drew Ramsey, MD (Eat Complete): Balancing nutrition, empathy, and mental health. - Ep. 04: This is not your typical episode centered around design and place. However, a chance encounter with today's guest lead to a perfectly suited conversation for the time we are currently living. When our SVP of Sales and Marketing, Ryan Menke, happened to sit next to Dr. Drew Ramsey, MD, on a plane, a friendship blossomed between the two that would eventually lead to this very podcast. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Drew Ramsey, MD, about his life as a psychiatrist, nutritionist, and farmer. Together, we discuss the importance of exercising our empathy muscle, the connection between nutrition and mental health, and allowing yourself to become entwined with the places we live. by Imagine a Place
