In the Heal Podcast, Zach Bush MD talks with Kelly Noonan Gores about his path from a physician to nutritionist to beoming an expert on the microbiome. The microbiome is a term for the diverse non-human living beings like fungi, bacteria and yeast that inhabit our bodies and the earth. Zach Bush is one of the fiercest activists and educators for understanding the role of the microbiome in our lives and the parallel between human and planetary health.
At the beginning and the end of the podcast, Zac Bush gives moving accounts of his associations to breathing, during a personal experience of his first witnessing a baby being born in desperate circumstances and after hearing of the death of George Floyd, when he realised that the way most of us exist on the planet today is taking away the very air we need to breathe.
At the same time, Zac Bush offers solutions how we can heal ourselves and the earth and encourages us to stay connected to life and life giving processes. „When we question why we are here, (…) when we feel like we‘ve become ungrounded, take a breath and just claim your life right now again.“
