Hi, y’all! Johanna here from the TX Soil Sisters.

(The podcast media player is below w/ links to things we talk about. Or listen here.)

In this episode of the Soil Sisters Podcast, recorded on October 27, 2025, you’ll hear Dr. Ben Edwards explain how YOU are the cure you've been looking for.

If you didn’t catch our last episode with Dr. Michelle Perro, it’s a great companion conversation to this one!

Dr. Ben Edwards has over 20+ years in the medical field. He is the founder and CEO of Veritas Medical and **Veritas Wellness** headquartered out of Lubbock, TX. And he also hosts the **"You're The Cure" Podcast** (top 75 Functional Health Podcasts), where he educates people on getting to the root cause of disease, and teaching them how to NOT NEED a Doctor!
Raised in Belton, TX, Dr. Edwards holds degrees from Baylor University and the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. He completed his residency at Waco's McLennan County Medical Education and Research Foundation before moving to West Texas in 2005 with his wife Jamie where Dr. Edwards was the only doctor in the county at the Garza County Health Clinic. After 7 years of practicing conventional medicine, a divine appointment opened his eyes to root cause resolution medicine.

Dr. Ben Edwards shares his path from conventional family medicine to a holistic, root-cause resolution approach to patient care. He discusses his transformation following a divine appointment that guided him to realize the flaws in conventional chronic disease management.

The conversation explores real patient experiences with curing their Celiac’s Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and more.

Dr. Ben highlights the role of nutrition, hydration, movement, and peace in achieving and maintaining wellness—The four pillars taught at Veritas Wellness. Dr. Ben also explains in practical terms the role of the gut microbiome and mitochondrial health in foundational wellbeing.

You'll gain insights into the power of mindset, the significant impact of epigenetics, and the interconnectedness of soil health and human health.

Thank you to Dr. “Coach” Coulter for introducing the Soil Sisters to Dr. Ben.

Y’all stay tuned for our conversation with Superintendent Coulter about his experience transforming his students’, teachers’, staff and schools’ relationships with food and what it takes to divorce the National School Lunch Program.

Happy farming and healthy living, y’all.

Jo (and Crystal) ❤️
