S2 E8 | Zach Bush MD – The Biology of Belonging: Becoming fully as Humans

How do we move beyond fear and separation to reclaim our sovereignty and reconnect with the intelligence of the Earth?

What if the key to human health is not just within us, but beneath our feet—in the living soil?

In this episode of Beloved Futures, host Aubrey Morgan Yee sits down with Zach Bush, MD, a renowned, multi-disciplinary physician of internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care and 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 the 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.

In this conversation, Zach and I explore the ways in which our bodies, our communities, and our ecosystems are reflections of one another. We discuss the collapse of control-based systems, the disempowerment embedded in modern health narratives, and why true healing requires a return to sovereignty, coherence, and connection with the natural world. Zach offers a radical shift in perspective, moving beyond the paradigm of disease and survival into a new era of health, belonging, and regeneration.

Key Takeaways:

🌿 The microbiome as the foundation of health—how soil and gut health are inextricably linked.

🌿 Why modern medicine is failing us—the dangers of pharmaceutical dependency and chemical agriculture.

🌿 Regenerative agriculture & planetary healing—why shifting farming practices is key to reversing chronic disease.

🌿 Moving beyond fear & control—how to reclaim personal sovereignty and health through deep reconnection with nature.

🌿 The spiritual awakening of our time—why true healing requires us to step beyond outdated paradigms and embrace a new way of being.

Zach offers a radical shift in perspective, moving beyond the paradigm of disease and survival into a new era of health, belonging, and regeneration. His message is both disruptive and deeply hopeful, calling us to step beyond outdated paradigms and embrace a future rooted in sovereignty, connection, and renewal.

With Love and Gratitude,

Aubrey Morgan Yee
