info_outlineThe whole secret sauce of Farmer's Footprint is going to be to tell the narrative of healing at every level. We cannot extract the human health story from the planetary story anymore. It's so intermixed; you literally cannot create human health if we don't solve these agricultural systemic issues. In the same way, we can't solve the agricultural problems unless we come to understand the value of human life and start to reallocate the valuation of food correctly. It's really a failure to understand the value of life that's leading to the human behaviors that are driving the agricultural decisions that we're making. - Zach Bush MD

Triple board-certified physician, Founder and CEO of ION*Biome, Zach Bush MD, returns to share how his company, Farmer's Footprint, is reuniting us with the soil for greater human health, how they're creating greater independence for farmers across the world, the connection between seeds and soil health plus how a strong immune system can combat disease, prevent rapid aging, and keep your body charged to heal faster.
ION*Biome Gut Health
*Get 15% off of your ION*Biome order with the code JOSH1KS
ION*Gut Health is a gut-strengthening, brain-boosting mineral supplement sourced from 60-million-year-old soil that naturally supports microbiome balance. The active ingredient, Terrahydrite®, has been shown to support the integrity of tight junctions in the gut lining, even in the face of damage from toxins such as glyphosate.
ION*Gut Health goes beyond other supplements to support your wellbeing at a foundational level. By laying that foundation with ION*Gut Health, you aren’t just supplementing; you're supporting.
Keeping Your Gut Healthy
It’s a critical barrier to keep strong so that a vibrant microbiome can flourish. Good health depends entirely on gut health because a lot more than digestion happens in the gut. It’s also where proper immune system function begins and the majority of our neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, are created.
Say yes to ION*Gut Health and you are saying yes to optimal gut-brain connectivity and feel-good transmissions, protection from the toxins we face every day in our air, water, and food, immune function, digestive wellness, and supported gluten tolerance.

Power Quotes From The Show
How We Are Failing One Another
"We are failing to see the value of human life and so we behave as we do. So, of course, all of our mistakes are coming out of the failure of that Golden Rule. If we really loved ourselves then we would treat our neighbors so much more differently. Sadly, whether farmer, physician, patient, chemical company CEO or commodities and crop owner, we're not loving ourselves and so in the end, FarmersFootprint.us is a story about us. It's a story about if we don't start looking at each other's eyes and acknowledging the miracle of life that's within each of us, then we're going to keep making mistakes. There's no scientist that's going to prove our way out of this; it is a fault of valuation and that valuation isn't of a crop or of a soil - it's of the human standing on that soil." - Zach Bush MD
If Children's Health Is So Important...
"If children's health is so important, then why does school food look like school food? If children are important than why does their school look like it does; why does it look like a jail so much of the time? Why do we sequester them away from nature 8 hours a day instead of putting them in nature 8 hours a day? If children are really valuable souls in exquisitely miraculous bodies, why would anybody give them a Coke? Why would anybody hand them a high-fructose corn syrup-laden anything? Why would anybody put them in an environment where they can't connect to the fresh air but one with mold and old HVAC systems and then traffic them Grade D meat that's dying at the time of harvest?" - Zach Bush MD
