Summary

Hey, Heal Squad! This week we’re joined by one of the most powerful voices in integrative medicine: Dr. Zach Bush, a triple board-certified physician and internationally recognized educator on the microbiome, environmental health, and root-cause healing. In Part 1 of this mind-expanding conversation, Dr. Bush explains why our environment (not just our genetics) is the true driver of chronic disease. He breaks down how our disconnection from soil, community, and inner consciousness is weakening our immunity, gut function, and emotional health. From soil depletion to childhood trauma, he reveals how our fractured relationship with nature, each other, and ourselves has created a deep soul-sickness that’s manifesting as disease. PLUS, Dr. Bush shares what soil health teaches us about healing, how to reawaken your innate intelligence, and why self-love is more powerful than any prescription. This isn’t just about symptoms, it’s about remembering who you are. Tune in! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Disconnection causes disease: True healing starts when we reconnect to nature, the microbiome, and our own inner voice, not just when we treat symptoms. The environment mirrors your health: The toxins in our soil, air, and water are disrupting our gut, brain, and immune systems, but regeneration is possible when we change how we live and grow. Consciousness is medicine: Awareness, presence, and community are powerful healing tools, especially in a world that thrives on distraction and disconnection. -- 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachbushmd/ Website: https://zachbushmd.com/ ION Support: http://www.ionbiome.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.
