When physician Daphne Miller visited farms across the country, she wondered how she could relate farming to treating her patients. In her new book “Farmacology: What Innovative Family Farming Can Teach Us About Health and Healing,” Miller shares her experience at seven family farms and suggests that if people treated their bodies the way farmers treat soil, we would be a lot healthier and happier. She joins us to discuss ecological farm habits and its relation to healthy living.

Guests:

Dr. Daphne Miller, family physician and associate professor in the Department of Family Medicine at UCSF; and author of "Farmacology: What Innovative Family Farming Can Teach Us About Health and Healing"
