I want 'to be” a physician who is constantly seeking out the truth to help my patients become the best versions of themselves. I want 'to be” connected to animals, the environment, soil, and people. I want 'to be” able to go on adventures until I'm 120 years old. I want 'to be” a leader who always puts compassion first. I want 'to be” a great friend, father, and human. I want 'to be” present to each moment. I want 'to be” a lifelong reader and learner. I want 'to be” someone who inspires others to take charge of their health. I want 'to be” a chef who uses food as medicine.
