The Health Benefits of Growing Your Own Food | Interview with Dr. Jyoti Patel
247From Dr. Jyoti Patel:
I am triple boarded in Integrative Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Pediatrics, working in my own private practice for the last 18 years. I am additionally certified in Functional Medicine through IFM, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction through UCSD and I am a Chopra Trained Ayurvedic Lifestyle Practitioner. My mission is to educate my patients in all aspects of health and wellness: nutrition, sleep, movement, stress, social, and the health benefits of gardening as a way of connecting to the Earth.
In 2016, I championed a 2.5-acre community garden in my town. It has been a dream project where we can spread the message of healthy living through example. We have over 400 garden members, 120 raised organic beds, food donations to the food bank, beehives, composting, rain catch, a greenhouse, and cooking demos in our outdoor kitchen.

Plant-Based cooking demo for the Fountain Hill Community Garden June 5th at 11 AM PST. I will be on the Fountain Hills Community Garden Facebook group for the Garden to Table demonstration as we have not reopened the outdoor kitchen at the garden due to COVID. https://www.facebook.com/groups/761931393940487/

I would love to speak to your audience about the benefits of gardening and how they can easily get started with growing their own food, composting, the health benefits of being outside in the sun, the physical activity of gardening, the connection with nature, the soil, and their community. Thank you for the opportunity to bring this message to your audience. See you Tuesday!
