My guest on today's podcast, Zach Bush, MD, is one of the few triple board certified physicians in the country, with expertise in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Hospice/Palliative care. He was introduced to me by former podcast guest Dr. Joseph Mercola, and he is an extremely, extremely intelligent dude, especially when it comes to optimizing gut health using some pretty cutting edge strategies.
In 2012, Dr. Bush discovered a family of carbon-based redox molecules made by bacteria, and he and his research team have subsequently demonstrated that this cellular communication network functions as an antidote to the chemical "glyphosate", and many other dietary, chemical, and pharmaceutical toxins that disrupt your body's natural defense systems.
Dr. Bush points to his own kids as the driving force behind his passion for change. He is fiercely motivated by a desire to have them experience a much brighter and healthier future. His education 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.
During our discussion, you'll discover:
-Why Dr. Bush stayed in school for 17 years (and what it means to be a "triple certified" board physician)...[10:00]
-The discovery in soil that Dr. Bush made in 2012, and what he was looking for exactly when he found it...[11:10]
-How bacteria, in the right conditions, can "talk" to each other in the same way that your mitochondria do...[18:00 ]
-The method Dr. Bush used to turn carbon-based redox molecules into a drinkable liquid...[26:55 & 29:45]
-How something called "lignite" can assist with mitochondrial health and longevity...[34:40]
-Why the best probiotic strains still contain only 24 of the 20,000-30,00 different kinds of bacteria in your gut...[37:20]
-How glyphosate wreaks havoc on the tight junctions in your gut, and why it's impossible to escape it in water, air, dirt and food...[45:20]
-Why gluten can cause some of the same damaging issues as glyphosate, and why it wasn't until the 1980's that folks started to develop more gluten intolerances...[51:30]
-Why it's not enough to just eat "dirty plants" or fermented foods when it comes to equipping your gut to heal from glyphosate exposure...[59:25]
-And much more!

| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up guys? Let's talk kids. People ask me what things my kids shove into their |
| 0:06.9 | gaping moths for supplements. And the fact is there's not much that they take. So last year, |
| 0:13.4 | my son, Terran, started to get a little bit of a tooth cavitation, which I think is just my |
| 0:18.5 | fancy word for a cavity. And I put him on fermented cod liver oil, vitamin D, vitamin K, |
| 0:25.9 | remineralizing toothpaste. And then I got him a little reward chart so that he could do coconut |
| 0:30.8 | oil, pulling every day. And he's actually reversing his cavity, which is really cool. |
| 0:35.4 | That's one thing that both of my kids do. But the other thing that they do is every morning, |
| 0:38.8 | they take a little shot of this liquid stuff called restore. Because what that does is it completely |
| 0:45.4 | protects their entire gut lining from glyphosate. I did the same thing. I've been doing it for the |
| 0:49.9 | past month. I decided to get the doku invented the stuff on the show. And today, you're going to get |
| 0:54.3 | a chance to hear about how you can protect your own gut from glyphosate, unless you live in like |
| 0:58.8 | freaking Europe where they don't spray the crops, in which case you can eat bread to your heart's |
| 1:02.8 | content. So enjoy that. In the meantime, though, speaking of tooth cavities, today's podcast is |
| 1:09.2 | actually brought to you by this new company called Quip, which is refreshing the way people brush |
| 1:14.5 | their teeth. No, I'm seriously, it's like this little vibrating electric toothbrush with a built |
| 1:21.1 | in timer, meaning that it automatically vibrates when you're supposed to switch to a new part of |
| 1:26.2 | your mouth. In case you're that person who can't remember if you already brushed the back right side |
| 1:31.6 | or if you forgot to do this, it's kind of like Apple designed a toothbrush, meaning that it looks |
| 1:38.2 | really slick. It doesn't have the price tag of a laptop, but it actually is so cool looking |
| 1:44.4 | that time magazine named it the one of one of not the best invention of 2016. I think that would |
| 1:50.4 | be silly if they named it an entire toothbrush is the best invention of 2016, but they did name it |
| 1:55.0 | as one of Time Magazine's best invention of 2016. It also won the 2016 GQ grooming award. Who knew GQ |
