Welcome to Day 5 of Vital Health with Dr. Zach Bush, MD. This course examines the building blocks of human biology and how we arrived at our current misconceptions around nutrition, disease, and what it means to live well. Day 5 – Dying with Grace. Throughout history, there have been many cultures that revered death. With the Industrial Revolution, however, The West developed a belief that we could stave off death, expanding and extending life with technological innovations. As a result, we've come to fear the death we once revered. But if we want to create the space to birth a new future, there has to be a fundamental change in our relationship to death.

Welcome to Day 3 of Vital Health with Dr. Zach Bush, MD.

Welcome to Day 2 of Vital Health with Dr. Zach Bush, MD. This course examines the building blocks of human biology and how we arrived at our current misconceptions around nutrition, disease, and what it means to live well. Day 2 – Salt.
