In this episode, I'm joined again by Dr. Zach Bush. He's a physician whose work in cancer research + hospice care has given him a rare view of what it means to be fully alive. Zach shares why he believes we're not separate from nature: we are nature. He explains how forgetting that shows up as the stress, isolation + disconnection so many of us feel today. We talk about why stress may be one of nature's greatest teachers. Zach shares what he heard again + again from people at the end of their lives, + the difference between empathy + compassion when it comes to staying true to yourself in relationships. He also explains why he believes AI can never become conscious, + what his new book, Biological Elegance, reveals about the future of being human. Partway through, Zach guides me through a live practice that shifted something in my body in real time. If you've been craving a deeper connection to yourself + the natural world, this conversation is an invitation to slow down + listen. ==== Episode Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction: Dr. Zach Bush on the laws of nature and human health 01:02 – Is humanity on the verge of extinction?
