In this episode Zach Bush, MD sits down with us to show us the connection between nature and our health. Everything from the air we breathe to the pesticides we use (and don't use) on a daily basis affect our health and genetics at a powerful level. Through his initiative #breatheyourbiome, he shows us how we can become a part of the earth and start being creative producers rather than just fearful consumers. Instead of looking at how we can protect ourselves from the earth we can learn how to work within nature - not outside of it.

Zach Bush, MD is a physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology and hospice care. He is an internationally recognized educator and thought leader on the microbiome as it relates to health, disease, and food systems. Zach Bush, MD founded *Seraphic Group and the non-profit Farmer’s Footprint to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health. His passion for education reaches across many disciplines, including topics such as the role of soil and water ecosystems in human genomics, immunity, and gut/brain health. His education has highlighted the need for a radical departure from chemical farming and pharmacy, and his ongoing efforts are providing a path for consumers, farmers, and mega-industries to work together for a healthy future for people and planet.

His work in for-profit and nonprofit arenas is creating avenues for collaborative action for all stakeholders in our global community for a regenerative future of health for the planet and our children.
