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. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Choosing to see your kids as teachers The transformation, healing and journey of getting remarried The uncomfortableness of being eyes wide open Why exploring the world and understanding the power of multigenerational community is for children Preventing our own extinction through a reconnection to nature and relationships How to reflect the beauty of others, and demonstrate the beauty of self Evolving through a pattern interrupt: Heartbreak recovery and self evaluation How Zach evolved as a man and as a father Rethinking the Battle Mentality of Man Making mother nature a part of the family The dangers of over-sterilization of our home environments and why washing hands might be hurting more than helping What biodiversity taught Zach about life at home Blow the walls off the box our kids are being put in to What people need to surrender and what paradigm they need to shift Pride is poison: Being in awe of your children versus being proud of them QUOTES "If you see the beauty, then you will experience love" - Zach Bush, M.D. "A relationship is about allowing life to happen in your partner" - Zach Bush, M.D. "We have to surrender the human constructs to realize a deep powerful truth that we are alive" - Zach Bush, M.D. "Refuse to let the school systems or the social pressures keep your kids in the box. The limited contact with nature is destroying their immune system" Zach Bush, M.D. EPISODE RESOURCES ZachBushMD.com Please review the Healthy Child Immunity and Vaccination Petition to push legislative attention towards getting better science around vaccinations Farmer's Footprint- A non-profit to encourage the American consumer to empower our farmers to take back our food, and our right to the health that the food should bring us and our children. Non Toxic Communities - A non-profit to help people campaign for safe, healthy landscapes. Follow on Twitter, Insta, Facebook PEOPLE MENTIONED Tim Urban Hal Elrod ABOUT THE GUEST 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. One of the few triple board-certified physicians in the country, with expertise in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Hospice/Palliative care. The breakthrough science that my colleagues and I have delivered offers profound new insights into human health and longevity. In 2012, I discovered a family of carbon-based redox molecules made by bacteria, and my team has subsequently demonstrated that this cellular communication network functions as an antidote to glyphosate, and many other dietary, chemical, and pharmaceutical toxins that disrupt our body's natural defense systems. This science has resulted in a revolutionary class of dietary supplements, including the product RESTORE. In February of 2019, I launched Farmer's Footprint, a docu-series presenting the social, economic, and educational incentives to encourage a mass exodus of farmers away from conventional chemical agriculture practices toward regenerative land management to restore human health, food and water security, and food independence. You can view it on vimeo here. My kids are the driving force behind my passion for change. I am fiercely motivated by a desire to have my children experience a much brighter and healthier future. My educational efforts provide a grassroots foundation from which we can launch change in our legislative decisions, ultimately up-shifting consumer behavior to bring about radical change in the mega industries of big farming, big pharma, and western medicine at large.

Today, I'm speaking with Hal Elrod about the 3 things every Dad should know. And within those big buckets, we hit on so many valuable sub topics, including marriage, affirmations, mindset, Father's Day, the weekly picture program, praising your spouse and kids, and so much more! In our conversation, you'll learn how to reprioritize your life so you can thrive in your most important roles: Human, Entrepreneur, Husband, and Father KEY TAKEAWAYS: Being VS Doing Redefining your routines The blueprint for creating your ideal life Looking at Father's Day differently Ways to praise - both your spouse and kids! Unconditional commitment for your spouse Scheduling morning time About Hal Elrod Hal Elrod is on a mission to Elevate the Consciousness of Humanity, One Morning at a Time. As the author of one of the highest rated books in the world, "The Miracle Morning" (which has been translated into 27 languages, has over 2,200 five-star reviews and is practiced daily by over 500,000 people in more than 70 countries)… he is doing exactly that. What's incredible is that Hal literally died at age 20. His car was hit head-on by a drunk driver at 70 miles per hour, his heart stopped beating for 6 minutes, he broke 11 bones and woke up after being in a coma for 6 days to be told by his doctors that he would probably never walk again. Not only did Hal walk, he ran a 52-mile ultra-marathon and went on to became a hall of fame business achiever, international keynote speaker, author, and grateful husband & father-all before he turned 30. Then, in November of 2016, Hal nearly died again – his kidneys, lungs, and heart were failing, and he was diagnosed with a rare, and very aggressive form of leukemia. After enduring the most difficult year of his life, battling cancer, Hal is now cancer-free and furthering his mission as the founder of The Miracle Morning book series, host of the "Achieve Your Goals" podcast, creator of the Best Year Ever [Blueprint] LIVE event, and Executive Producer of The Miracle Morning MOVIE – a documentary that reveals the morning rituals of some of the world's most successful people. Hal is grateful to be alive and living his mission alongside his wife and their two young children in Austin, TX.

How can you instill healthy beliefs in your family?

Don't have time for the full interview with Celeste Meyburgh? Here's a short clip from the discussion!

Celesté Meyburgh spent the last couple of years researching and studying the important role that fathers play in early child development and school readiness. She believes Dads should know what the science says about their unique impact and she has made it her mission to share the fascinating research about Dads far and wide. Celesté Meyburgh along with her (awesome!) husband, Kobus Meyburgh, are co-founders of Spritely. During office hours, she is a Registered Psychometrist and Counsellor. After hours, she plays house (and LEGO and dinosaurs) with her two-year-old girl, Famke, and five-year-old boy, Milan. During the early morning hours, she is plotting world peace, with her ever-growing army of actively involved Dads. She aims to inspire Dads with insight to become Dads of impact all over the world. Because our children deserve to grow up with the best version of their Dads so they can become the best version of themselves for the generations to come. In today's episode of the podcast, we're talking with Celesté about her passion for helping men understand their impact at a child's early age.
