In college, I read a book called The Soil and Health by Albert Howard. Little did I know, that book would forever change the way I viewed the relationship between dirt, food, bacteria, and human health.Emerging research continues to reveal the powerful influence of the microbiome on our health. Our microbiome is comprised of the trillions of bacteria, fungi, and even viruses present within the body. The balance of these microbes can make or break good health, and you won\\u2019t be surprised to learn the food we eat, and more specifically how it\\u2019s grown, is heavily correlated to our microbial composition.

Today\\u2019s guest on The Doctor\\u2019s Farmacy is Daphne Miller, a doctor bridging the gap between medicine and farming. Dr. Miller is a practicing family physician, Clinical Professor at the University of California San Francisco, and Founder of the Health from the Soil Up Initiative. She is the author of two books: The Jungle Effect: Healthiest Diets from Around the World and Farmacology: Total Health from the Soil Up. A pioneer in the \\u201cHealthy Parks, Healthy People\\u201d initiative, Miller helped build linkages between our medical system and our park system and writes her patients \\u201cpark prescriptions\\u201d to get outdoors. She also developed a soil learning lab for health professional at Paicines Ranch in Hollister California.
