57. The Soil-Gut Connection That’s Quietly Making You Sick with Zack Bush


Listen Later

What if your fatigue, inflammation, or brain fog isn’t a sign your body is broken—but a signal you’ve been disconnected from nature for too long?

In this episode, Dr. Zach Bush joins me to explore how our health crisis begins with the soil beneath our feet. We break down the damage glyphosate does to your gut and brain, how antibiotics and monoculture farming disrupt healing, and why chasing supplements and protocols often leads us further from true wellness.

Zach shares how to rebuild your inner ecosystem, reconnect with nature, and return to the breath, food, and soil that sustain life. We also explore regenerative farming, light as medicine, and how healing begins with remembering who you are.

Dr. Zach Bush is a triple board-certified physician, founder of Farmer’s Footprint and ION*, and one of the world’s leading voices on regenerative health, environmental impact, and the future of medicine.
