Summary

Hey Heal Squad! We’re continuing our theme this week of gut, brain, and emotional healing with this week’s throwback with triple board certified physician, Dr. Zach Bush! We knew this was the perfect time to bring back one of our favorite episodes to revisit this week. Dr. Zach doesn’t just talk about symptoms, he gets to the real root of disease: disconnection. Disconnection from our bodies, our relationships, our food, our purpose, and even the Earth itself. He shares how trauma, toxins, gut health, and isolation all play a role in why we’re sick, PLUS how healing starts when we finally begin to reconnect on every level. Get ready to shift your perspective on health completely. We talk about the power of nature, the soul-body connection, and why your body isn’t broken (it’s just been overwhelmed). If you’re craving deeper healing and ready to get to the why behind what you're feeling… you don’t want to miss this one! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachbushmd/ Website: https://zachbushmd.com/ ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
