#358 A New Earth Dawning: Biological Elegance, the health of humanity and OriginEarth with Zach Bush, MD
What happens when someone who has trained for years in the Cartesian model of science, of medicine in particular – who has been trained to look at bodies the way a mechanic looks at a car, to take them apart and fix one thing and put it back together and get it back on the road… what happens when that person begins to question everything?
This week’s guest has done just this. Of all the people we’ve been asked to invite onto the podcast, Zach Bush, MD, is top of the list. For those of you who know him, he needs no introduction. For the rest, here’s the short version of a very long CV.
Zach Bush, MD, trained in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, as well as Hospice Care. He is an internationally recognised scientist and industry pioneer, innovating solutions at the intersection of human and planetary health. He is Founder and CEO of Waveform Inc, and Board Chair of Project Biome and the Origin global event series. He delights in working with teams around the world to realise the alignment of human nature with the emerging rebirth cycle of the earth.
Today, we’re exploring both the Origin event and his new book, Biological Elegance, a conversation with AI that generated what he believes is the clearest articulation of the worldview beneath it all: health is not something we manufacture. It is something we participate in.
And key to all this is that Zach is part of a global unity event taking place on October 17th online and in person in South Africa. It’s called Origin and Zach talks about it at the end of the podcast, but if you’re listening to this the day it comes out, then you have 3 days to click the link in the show notes and head over and explore what’s on offer. If you’re in South Africa, you can go in person. If you’re online, the core work, the one that the Heart Math Institute will be measuring, is at 21:00 South Africa time. So work out when that is for you and if you can be there, then please do.
We did have some technical issues with the sound and it’s not quite as easy on your ears as usual – for which we all apologise, but I think the content is well worth it. So for a wide, deep dive into health at all its fractal levels, please welcome this week’s guest, Zach Bush, MD. Enjoy!

Hostage Nation Part 2 – Anything we can do, we can afford – with Jamie Driscoll of Majority
” The first and most fundamental duty of a civilised state is the safety of its people.
Not just safety from overseas adversaries, or crime in the street. Economic security. A bill you can pay without going overdrawn. A house you can afford before your children have children of their own. A job that lasts long enough to plan around.
Britain guarantees none of these…” (from the Hostage Nation paper)

What are the actual, practical shifts in our political economy that we could do tomorrow, that would not require extra legislation and could transform our society? While there are many economists looking forward to an idealised system some way down the line, very few people – politicians or economists – are exploring what we could do now, today, within the guiderails of the existing system, with the politicians we have and the economy we have and the constraints of a world undergoing rapid geopolitical as well as geophysical change.
