      Repairing Your Health Starts in the Gut

Zach Bush, MD is one of the few triple board certified physicians in the country, with expertise in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Hospice/Palliative care.  The breakthrough science that Dr. Bush and his colleagues have delivered offer profound new insights into human health and longevity.  In 2012 he discovered a family of carbon-based redox molecules made by bacteria, and his team has subsequently demonstrated that this cellular communication network functions as an antidote to glyphosate, and many other dietary, chemical, and pharmaceutical toxins that disrupt our body’s natural defense systems.  This science has resulted in a revolutionary class of dietary supplements, including the product, RESTORE.  Dr. Bush points to his kids ages ten, sixteen, and eighteen as the driving force behind his passion for change. He is fiercely motivated by a desire to have future generations experience a much brighter and healthier future.
