Dr. Zach Bush: Industrial Farming and The Dark Side of Easy Living

SuperLife with Darin Olien

Ever stop to think about the real cost of our modern lifestyle? Chronic illness, infertility, rising mental health challenges—they’re not accidents. They’re symptoms of systems designed to prioritize profit over people and the planet. From ultra-processed foods to toxic farming practices, we’re trapped in a cycle that’s stealing our vitality.

In this episode of Super Life, I sit down with Dr. Zach Bush, a pioneer in regenerative health and farming, to pull back the curtain on how we got here—and how we can change. We’re diving into the hidden dangers of our food systems, the power of reconnecting with nature, and practical steps you can take to restore balance to your life (and the planet).

Dr. Zach Bush is a triple-board-certified physician specializing in internal medicine and endocrinology, and a globally recognized leader in microbiome research. He’s also the founder of Farmer’s Footprint, helping farmers transition to regenerative practices that heal our soil and our health.
