Why You Can't Get Away From The Toxin Glyphosate (& What You Can Do About It).
https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/restore
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!
