Summary
Today I answers questions pulled straight from Instagram, covering a wide range of functional medicine topics including mold toxicity, chronic fatigue, acne, cortisol, POTS, psoriasis, H. pylori, EMF exposure, and more. Every answer ties back to one core principle: test, don't guess. If you've been brushed off by conventional medicine, this episode is for you.

| 0:00.0 | What's up, everybody, Evan Brand here, functional medicine practitioner. |
| 0:03.7 | We're going to dive straight into a functional medicine Q&A. |
| 0:06.9 | These are questions that we got from Instagram. |
| 0:09.6 | I appreciate you guys participating. |
| 0:12.2 | Someone asked about tired eyes, will. |
| 0:15.1 | So tired eyes depends. |
| 0:16.8 | If you're talking bags under your eyes, that could be related to your liver. |
| 0:20.2 | It could be stagnant lymph. It could be mold toxicity. I look back at pictures of myself, even just a few years ago while I was still in the middle of detox. And I think, man, my eyes just didn't look that healthy. And in fact, lime and mold can both affect the vision. They can create vision issues. In fact, there's a VCS test. |
| 0:38.9 | It's called visual contrast sensitivity test. |
| 0:41.2 | I'll put that in the show notes below, but you should take it. |
| 0:44.3 | If you fail, you probably have mold toxicity or lime. |
| 0:47.8 | So that's something to consider. |
| 0:50.3 | Mevy asks, the most gentle cleanse, single herb. |

| 1:05.3 | going on inside of your gut. Do a GI map. Do an organic acids. With that data, we can figure out, do you have |
| 1:12.4 | bacteria, do you have parasites, do you have fungal issues? Because this idea of a cleanse, a parasite |
| 1:18.1 | cleanse, if you go and take wormwood, yeah, you might kill some things, but that's not going to |
| 1:22.9 | kill all the bacteria, all the yeast, all the fungal issues. So this is why my whole philosophy |
| 1:27.3 | is test, don't guess, and that waygal issues. So this is why my whole philosophy is test, |
| 1:28.1 | don't guess, and that way you can be more accurate with what you're going to do. If you're just throwing random things at it, sure, you may have some progress, but you're not fully going to get out of the woods. And should you take a binder with it? Yes, in most cases, I do use a binder at auroroutes.com. |
| 1:43.2 | I formulated an incredible binder. |
