Zach Bush MD is a renowned, triple board certified physician, and internationally recognized educator on the microbiome, as it relates to human health, soil health, food systems, and a regenerative future. Dr Zach became highly decorated in the medical field, with multiple awards.  Then a growing set of insights built towards a moment of transformation.  His touchstone insight was that we don’t need to solve each of the many increasingly prevalent diseases – we need to regenerate the source of our health and vitality. 

This led to ground breaking research on how our microbiome (a community of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses) works - or more to the point, how communication happens between the microbiome and our human cells. Zach has said the microbiome is more responsible for our health than our genes, and is actually the great coordinating force of biology on earth.  And that we’re destroying it, with our dominant agricultural and medical systems.

Zach’s work charts the intimate, absolute connection between humans and humous – the earth and its soil.  The soil and our gut are sisters, you could say, and carbon is our best mate.   And while we flirt with superbugs and the ‘end of antibiotics’, we are courting what may even be greater disaster with the chemical glyphosate.

Glyphosate’s touted strength of being water soluble appears to be proving the undoing of no less than the integrity of our physiological being – implicated in our epidemics of cancer, auto-immune issues and neurological conditions.

In response to all this, Zach has also been startled by our regenerative capacity and what he calls the intelligence of nature, since embarking on a film project called Farmer’s Footprint.  This has become a global phenomenon, prompting the creation of a broader project called Project Biome.  This is due to launch in a couple of months.  Its mission?  No less than the universal adoption of regenerative agricultural, medical and related systems around the world.

To talk about all this, Zach was kind enough to join me online from his home in Hawai’i.
