Summary
Stress isn’t just a mindset problem, it’s a biochemical, neurological, and lifestyle issue. Today, we will break down what a real functional medicine stress protocol looks like, from targeted adaptogens to daily lifestyle strategies that regulate cortisol, support the nervous system, and restore resilience. Learn how stress is assessed, why generic advice fails, and how to build a personalized plan that actually moves the needle.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the podcast. I'm your host Evan Brand. I'm board certified in holistic nutrition, |
| 0:04.6 | and I've been running an online functional medicine practice for over the last decade. I've helped |
| 0:08.7 | over 7,000 people and thousands more through my group coaching programs and millions through the |
| 0:15.4 | podcast, the Instagram, the YouTube, the Facebook, all the places. We've had millions and millions |
| 0:20.0 | of views over the last few months. And it's been great because we're getting this functional medicine |
| 0:23.9 | data to the masses. We're educating people that it's not just about running the marathon and |
| 0:29.5 | eating the chicken breast and rice to get yourself healthy. In fact, that's actually probably |
| 0:33.5 | not wise after all. Now, today we're going to be chatting about adaptogens and some lifestyle strategies. |
| 0:39.3 | What is the functional medicine protocol even look like? We're going to unpack some of that today, but I want you to know I can help in two ways. If you need help on the clinical side, I have one-on-one consultations available. That's at Evanbrand.com. |
| 0:52.2 | But if you want to save some money, |
| 0:53.5 | if you feel like your case is not that complex, |

| 0:56.0 | you feel like you just want to dial in, or you feel pretty good and you just want to check and make sure everything is okay, |
| 1:01.0 | the group program is a great fit and it will save you some money. |
| 1:04.0 | And that is called BetterBelly Premium. |
| 1:06.0 | And that's where I look at your gut, I look at your brain chemistry, your nutrient levels, |
| 1:11.0 | bacteria, parasites, fungal infections, all that, and then I will build you a protocol based |
| 1:17.1 | on what we see. |
| 1:18.6 | So that's an incredible opportunity to get really, really far into functional medicine without |
| 1:23.9 | going through the one-on-one process. |
| 1:25.6 | Now if your case is really complex, you've been to 20 doctors, you've suffered for 20 years, let me hold your hand for a little bit, and then I can graduate you over to the group. So that's that. Without further ado, let's get into the show. And we are live. It's Dr. Justin Markagjani here with Evan Brand. Today we're going to be talking about kind of our top functional medicine strategies |
