I have been a registered nurse for over 25 years. In recent years, as I began to research and promote lifestyle medicine for human health, I learned how our agriculture affects our planet through not only deforestation, but also changes to our streams, rivers, oceans, and atmosphere. In researching nutrition choices that come with lifestyle medicine, I took a closer look at our food industry and the cruelty to animals that goes along with factory farming and industrial fishing.

I think we can do better in the management and conservation of our planet's resources. It all starts with individual choices we make daily on how we live our lives.
