Welcome back to The Marian Flaxman Network Podcast! On this episode, Marian sits down with Glenn Lopez, primary care physician turned regenerative farmer, to speak about his journey and the future of agriculture and health. Glenn shares how he made the pivot from medicine to farming, and how a desire to prevent chronic illness lead him to find meaning and magic in soil. Glenn's work has shown him the beauty in all living things, and he has a unique lived experience that informs his understanding of the importance of working with nature, rather than fighting against it.
