On today’s episode we kick off the month of March by discussing herb farming and sustainable practices for a fit healthy lifestyle! This "Springing into Health" segment wouldn't be complete without special guest Dr. Nicole Finkelstein who shares her journey in farming and great tips for anyone looking to grow a garden!  Nicole is not only a doctor of oriental medicine, a licensed acupuncturist and a registered herbalist but she is also the owner and operator of Herban Austin !  Herban Austin offers workshops, educational opportunities and even has upcoming events that will support mental health through gardening.
