Ever wonder why you're exhausted despite eating well, or why your child's behavioral issues seem impossible to solve? The answers might be hiding in tests your doctor never runs.

I've been investigating functional medicine testing for years, but Evan Brand has run more than 5,000 of these specialized lab panels—putting him in the top 10 worldwide.

And what he's discovered will challenge everything you think you know about health problems.

We’re talking about:

Parasite infections in 80% of people tested
Mold toxicity reversing autism diagnoses
Environmental toxins in kids exceeding levels seen in the elderly

This isn't about adding more supplements. It’s about understanding why your body isn’t working the way it should.

Evan walks through specific biomarkers that reveal gut infections, mycotoxin exposure, heavy metals, and Lyme disease—conditions rarely tested for in conventional medicine but potentially driving your symptoms.

This conversation will shift how you think about root causes vs. symptom management.
