SOIL, FOOD AND HEALTH: Dead Soils, Sick People, Broken System

In this powerful episode of The Other Side of Medicine, Dr. Christosik sits down with regenerative farmer Bob Jones of The Chef's Garden to explore the profound connection between soil health, food quality, gut health, and human disease.   Together, they uncover how modern agriculture has stripped nutrients from our food, damaged soil biology, and contributed to the rise of chronic illness. Bob shares groundbreaking insights into living soil, beneficial microbes, regenerative farming, and how these same biological principles mirror what happens inside the human gut.   From nutrient density and the microbiome to mitochondria, chronic disease, and natural healing, this conversation reveals why food truly is medicine—and how healing the soil may help heal the human body.
