I’m William Roth, and this is Gardener of Life – three pillars, one porch: food and diet, health and wellness, and the Apple gear and AI I use to run all of it.

> Twenty-seven years I farmed the Sacramento Valley with my father and uncle, third generation on that ground, until it passed out of our hands in the late nineties. I’ve lived with type 2 diabetes since 2005, and for a while now I’ve been on Mounjaro – I write about what that’s actually like, not what it’s supposed to be like. These days home is South Jordan, Utah, a good distance from any field I ever worked, though the habit of paying attention to weather, soil, and slow processes never really left.

> What you’ll find here isn’t advice. It’s what a retired farmer notices when he takes a research finding and holds it up against how life actually runs – in a body, in a kitchen, on a Mac. Some of it holds up. Some of it doesn’t survive contact with an actual Tuesday. I write down which is which.
