Dr. Andersen began his professional life as a consultant in the field of Agricultural Nutrition, working to improve soil and crops through the understanding that weeds, diseases, and insect pests were directly correlated to nutritional deficiencies and imbalances in the soils and crops. He was motivated by the desire to help people and make a difference, and after ten years in agriculture, he decided he could help even more people by practicing medicine. In the course of his agricultural work, Dr. Andersen has met many farmers suffering from various disorders from infertility to cancer as a result of pesticide exposure and poor diets. This experience inspired him to take a holistic approach to medicine that included nutritional medicine and making the connection between the farm and how food is grown and consumer health. His books include Science In Agriculture, The Anatomy of Life and Energy In Agriculture, Real Medicine Real Health, and Food Plague.
