What if the collapse of human health is not a medical issue, but an ecological one?


In this groundbreaking conversation, Dr. Zach Bush unpacks the deeply interconnected crisis between human biology, chronic illness, the collapse of fertility, and our disconnection from nature. From mitochondria to microbiomes, infertility to identity, Dr. Bush explains how our soil, food system, and chemical agriculture have silently dismantled the metabolic foundation of life.


You’ll learn:


- Why antibiotics and glyphosate are silently destroying our health

- How the soil microbiome mirrors the human gut microbiome

- What’s behind the rise of depression, infertility, and chronic disease

- Why carbon dioxide isn’t the villain we’ve been told it is

- The shocking truth about gender expression and fetal development

- How to regenerate our health and planet through connection and soil


This episode is a call to action—not just for your health, but for humanity’s future. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this conversation will challenge everything you’ve been told about medicine, disease, and what it means to be alive.

Tune into hol+ with Dr. Taz MD | The Future of Medicine is Holistic for a conversation that moves beyond conventional wellness talk. Hosted by Dr. Taz MD, this podcast operates from a simple yet profound premise: true health isn't found in a single pill or diagnosis, but in the intricate connection between our biology, our lifestyle, and our emotional world. Each episode builds on the idea that modern science and functional medicine don't have to exist in opposition to ancient healing wisdom or the importance of spiritual well-being. Instead, they can be woven together into a practical, personalized approach to caring for the whole person. You'll hear discussions that tackle how these interconnected systems directly influence not just physical symptoms, but also our mental clarity, capacity for joy, the quality of our relationships, and the health of our entire family unit. As a 2025 Webby honoree, this series has established itself as a pioneering voice, daring to explore where evidence-based research and a more expansive view of human potential meet. Recent episodes have featured leading voices in mental health, among other fields, providing actionable insights. If you're looking for a healthcare dialogue that respects the data while honoring the complexity of the human experience, this is the podcast for you.
