Ferns are one of the most ancient flora on the planet and they date back many millions of years.
They’ve developed a symbiotic relationship with the microbiome of their root systems and their leaves.
If you’re walking or jogging through a forest of ferns, and you take the time to swipe your hand beneath the leaves, breathe the flora and tiny microorganisms coming off of that, you’re tapping into this ancient intelligence of Mother Earth.
If minutes later, you’re running through a meadow amidst wild flowers and thousands of species and by the afternoon or evening, you’re out barefoot in your garden, integrating with soil directly and starting to experience vegetables and fruits, their seed pods and all the pollen that they would produce, that is the intelligence of nature rooting within you.
You can start to see how diverse these ecosystems might be and how they might inform your sinuses, your respiratory tree and your gut back to some sort of biodiversity. You are tapping into that biodiversity and that wireless network comes back on, and you become resilient on many levels.
It’s not only free, nature’s going to show you her most fundamental truth, which is beauty.
And if you have forgotten how stunningly beautiful Mother Nature is around you, you can go out and just look at a pine cone or grab a leaf off the ground.
There’s such beauty in the micro to the macro of Mother Nature. And that’s where Zach Bush thinks we start to really start to accumulate at the soul level where we start to just simply fill back up and we start to find purpose again in the beauty.

My work is dedicated to the health of humanity and the planet we call home. It is critical that our pursuit of optimal health and longevity begin with an effort toward a collective rise in consciousness such that we would begin to thrive within nature, instead of fighting that nature that is life itself. My experience as a physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology and hospice care with a focus on the microbiome as it relates to health, disease, and food systems led me to found *Seraphic Group and the non-profit Farmer’s Footprint to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health. My passion for education reaches across many disciplines, including topics such as the role of soil and water ecosystems in human genomics, immunity, and gut/brain health. My education has highlighted the need for a radical departure from chemical farming and pharmacy, and ongoing efforts to create a path for consumers, farmers, and mega-industries to work together for a healthy future for people and planet.https://zachbushmd.com
