The Critical Nature of Reconnection

The Critical Nature of Reconnection

Author: Functional Forum January 4, 2023 Duration: 59:53

This is the first podcast episode of the 2023 year of connection. How can we employ connection to advance the functional and lifestyle medicine movement?

One answer is that we must continue to leverage group care and community networks to support reconnection in the post-COVID era, improve patient outcomes and increase the awareness and accessibility of our movement.

Our guest on this episode is an innovator and thought leader on health creation and chronic disease reversal. Zach Bush, MD teaches about the intersections between the environment and the individual by identifying the themes that connect diverse systems, such as microbiologic processes and macroeconomics. To him, the original human wound is a false belief that we are not all connected—to ourselves, nature and everyone around us.

To be healthy—physically and mentally—is to be connected. In this episode, Dr. Bush and James explore the many repercussions of disconnection, from autoimmune disease to war, while also covering how connection can transform and heal.

The full episode will bring you more insights about:

  • The negative effects of cellular disconnection, and what environmental or lifestyle factors trigger that dysfunction
  • How a scarcity mentality leads to fear, guilt, shame and economic disparity
  • Empowering perspectives that help people heal
  • Flaws in peer-reviewed, evidence-based medicine
  • Quorum sensing and Dr. Bush's new organization, The Institute for Natural Law and Governance
