Relocalizing Health with Dave Chase · 2026-06-23 · 48 min
Welcome to Relocalizing Health . In today’s episode, host Dave Chase sits down with Kevin Bayuk, a partner at Lift Economy and a pioneer in redefining how communities can thrive by redesigning local systems. With over 20 years of experience questioning why wealth leaves local communities and how to rebuild systems that circulate, compound, and benefit all, Kevin Bayuk shares his journey from Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur to advocate for regenerative enterprise and bioregional self-reliance. Together, they explore the root causes of ill health in society, including the “loneliness epidemic,” and discuss the vision and practicality of economies and healthcare systems that put well-being, community connection, and ecological thriving at the center. Through stories drawn from permaculture, multi-stakeholder co-ops, and innovative healthcare models like direct primary care, Kevin Bayuk and Dave Chase challenge business-as-usual approaches and invite us to imagine what is possible if we reclaim agency over health, wealth, and the future of our communities.
