What is the connection between emotional trauma and illness?

Zach Bush 0:00
Emotional trauma seems to be the most profound and disruptive toxicity that we can enter into, and it's the foundation of every organ disease that we know. If you store an emotion in the system, you disrupt the relationship between the energetic and biologic systems. The chemical trauma of an herbicide, pesticide, or an antibiotic. We can overcome that instantaneously if we get over this psychological bust in our identity that we were abandoned by nature. Take a vial of your blood, send it across town, put it under a microscope, You take an aspirin and all of the platelets in that test tube will instantly respond to the aspirin. And so it doesn't matter where that cell is. It's responding to your collective experience.

Your body is a non-local phenomenon of biology connected and entangled with a soul. Addiction is a symptom of an abandonment disorder. We are most addicted to emotional input. And that's how we build our stories. It's how we build our relationships. daily social interactions it's how we build our entire sense of self-worth is out of how many emotions did i experience today and when we start to get numbed out we get depressed numbness is the most terrifying thing to the biology because it means we're no longer alive nature has never allowed a wound that she didn't already have a solution for

How can we learn from hospice care experiences?

Alyssa Nobriga 1:09
Welcome back to the Healing and Human Potential podcast where today we're going to explore profound insights that come with near-death experiences from a doctor. We're also going to talk about the most common regrets people have in the final moments of their life and how those can teach us to live more fully. Because what if the answers are hidden in the way we care for our bodies, our minds, and our connection to the world around us? Our guest today, Dr. Zach Bush, is a physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care. And he's going to uncover how disrupting the microbiome impacts everything from depression to cancer and the universal intelligence that organizes all of life, as well as why reconnecting with nature can transform us physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

So if you're ready to challenge conventional ideas about health and step into a more connected, whole, and vibrant way of living, this episode is for you. I know that you've worked with a lot of people around end of life and have seen some really powerful transitions. One of my former best friends was a hospice nurse and she said, the way you live is the way you die. And I'm curious if there is a, just having been so involved in that work, if there's an experience of your own or of a client that you saw that really shaped how you see life and death because of it.
Zach Bush 2:26
Wow, so many. I have so many of those. Yeah, when I was an associate hospice director, I was admitting 80 patients a week to die, and I did that for four years. So at some point, there's so many thousands of stories or whatever that kind of amalgamate into an experience. I would say the ones that stuck with me the hardest were the children. You know, when you see kids on hospice and watch them transition, it's so starkly different than how adults tend to transition or our elderly experience. There was an 11-year-old girl that passed away under my care. That has really stuck with me. She really showed me what it looks like to be fearless in life and have no fear of death either and just ready for the transition and, in fact, relieved for the transition, I think, a lot. She seemed to be somebody who picked her exit moment. She had overheard a doctor talking to her parents earlier in the year
Zach Bush 3:22
that the doctor was trying to help the parents come to terms with the fact that this was the end. The parents had struggled to stop doing the heroic efforts, you know, and the transition to hospice for a child is very difficult for a parent to... come to terms with the fact that there really is you know an end point coming is really hard and they had you know pushed for so much care over the years so much treatment and surgeries and interventions and 40 rounds of chemo and This kiddo had been through so much, and she overheard the doctor say, you know, trying to get through to the parents the severity of the situation.
