MEET DR TODD
Earth Healer
Most of what we call “healthcare” isn’t about health, it’s about managing disease. Dr. Todd Pesek, MD is here to change that. A holistic physician and ethnobotanist, he helps people reclaim their vitality by restoring harmony across mind, body, spirit, and environment.
His work fuses ancient plant wisdom with cutting-edge nutritional science to guide individuals and organizations toward true, lasting health and wellness. Grounded in the truth that we are not separate from our environment, his approach invites a deeper reconnection to self and planet because healing doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens in relationships.
Dr Todd's second major book, The Forest Knows Your Name, is in acquisition with Shambhala Publications — the house that publishes Pema Chödrön and Thich Nhat Hanh. It is the spine of his life's work: three decades of fieldwork with traditional healers across five continents, translated into a clinical prescription for how to live. His first book, Eat Yourself Super, has sold more than 50,000 copies thorough his practice alone.
DR TODD’S PHILOSOPHY
What Ancient Healers Knew
That Modern Medicine Forgot
For thousands of years, traditional healers understood that your health is inseparable from your environment. Dr Todd bridges this ancient wisdom with modern science.
The work follows a deliberate arc: Healing Across Cultures (HAC) documented traditional healing systems across five continents. Secrets of Long Life (SLL) studied thirty-seven master elders and fourteen verified centenarians to identify the universal patterns of extraordinary longevity. Eat Your Super (EYS) translated those findings into clinical prescriptive practice for tens of thousands of patients. And the VitalHealth Optimization Panel (VHOP) brings precision medicine to bear on ancestral plant knowledge in the documentation of disease reversal through the assessment of precision biomarkers incrementally improving with Fx (food prescription) and Nx (smart supplementation). Field to publication to clinic to you.

Dr Todd's first popular book translates three decades of fieldwork into a practical nutritional prescription for lasting vitality — the plant-forward blueprint his patients live by.
“Blending ancient, shamanistic approaches with the most modern medical research, this book gives practical advice we can use every day. I wouldn't only say that this is a good book to read, I'd say that it's an important book to read.”
