Why Kids Need Biodiversity: The Warfare on Germs & Isolation with Zach Bush [Encore]

Zach Bush and I chat about why needs biodiversity on this quick encore episode. Did you notice the warfare on germs and isolation?

Health is not complicated, it’s not expensive, it’s not something that comes from a bottle or a textbook. Health is intrinsic to life. As humans, we have gotten away from the truth. We have forgotten that we are inherently built for health and longevity. And today’s guest, Zach Bush MD, is here to talk all about it.

Zach is a triple board-certified physician applying the rigor of science, the strength of humanity, and the intelligence of nature to transform the world.

We chat about his approach to treating disease, the identities and labels we manifest around health, surrendering human constructs, the importance of showing up big for our family, and so much more.
