About

Hi! I'm Chef AJ, the Queen of quick and easy cooking. I've been devoted to a plant-exclusive diet for over 48 years. I was the host of Healthy Living with CHEF AJ on Foody TV. I'm the author of Four bestselling books: Sweet Indulgence, The Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss, Own Your Health and The 10th Anniversary Edition of Unprocessed, I was the Executive Pastry Chef at Santé Restaurant in Los Angeles where I was famous for my vegan, sugar, oil, salt and gluten free desserts which use the fruit, the whole fruit and nothing but the whole fruit. I broadcast CHEF AJ LIVE! daily for over 4 years. I am the creator of the Ultimate Weight Loss Program and am proud to say that my IQ is higher than her cholesterol. In 2018 I was inducted into the Vegetarian Hall of Fame.

He listens deeply and compassionately, fully aware that your health is a direct result of how you eat, sleep, move, stress, and your connection to nature. He is the kind of doctor who will help you trade your prescriptions for plants.

He has been featured in top media, including The New York Times, The New York Post, The Today Show, New Jersey Monthly, and the feature-length documentary, "Eating You Alive." The mission of Ethos Farm Project is to address the interconnected nature of how agriculture affects human health, planetary health, and our relationship with animals. To achieve this, his 388-acre historic farm in Long Valley NJ where he operates Ethos Primary Care from, produces truly nourishing food to feed the community, restoring the land, all while cultivating and empowering a new generation of farmers, doctors, and nurses through hands-on educational programming. Dr Weiss feels that he is fulfilling his purpose in life through the work he does as a Board Certified, Lifestyle Medicine physician and the work he does through his nonprofit, Ethos Farm Project. Connecting his life's passion for medicine and the environment, Dr. Weiss believes we need "all hands on deck" to combat the healthcare and environmental crises we now face as a species, in order to ensure a habitable planet for our children. Dr. Weiss is here monthly, on Chef AJ, to answer any and all medical questions you may have. An experienced primary care doctor, there is no question too simple or too complex for him to handle.
