Hello, this is Evan Brand Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and Functional Nutritional Therapy

Practitioner. Talk with you today about belly issues. You know, I had gut issues for as long as I can remember, and

it took me a lot of work to figure out what the heck was going on. And as you're going to discover,

when you're working on your own health journey,

there are acute tummy issues, there are chronic tummy issues. I would say I went through a phase of both. You'd have these acute problems that sometimes become chronic. And so that's what

today's podcast is all about. I would consider myself one of the best practitioners out there when

it comes to gut issues because I've suffered so

much personally. So I have a ton of experience on what works and what doesn't work, what type of

testing is important, what type of infections create the most problems, which are the biggest

top priorities when it comes to gut issues? Because rarely is it just one single problem. Usually

there's a combination of candida, bacterial overgrowth, parasites, worms,

even Bartonella infections,

which can come from ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes.

Bartonella is a big trigger of gut issues.

And so we found that with my daughter.

And we treated her using specific herbs for Bartonella

and magically her gut pain got better.

So sometimes it's a little more tricky than you think.

It's not just as simple as taking probiotics and enzymes.

I wish it were that easy.

If it were that easy, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast.

So without further ado, let's dive in.
