Dr. Ross’s philosophy on health extends into his personal life with a focus on food and nutrition. To this end, he and his wife spend summer months maintaining a large vegetable garden and orchard. Their goal is to be as self reliant in the food they eat as possible. They also raise their own free range chickens and turkeys.
