Hello, welcome back to Notches Paleo. I'm your host, Evan Brand. If you're new to the show,

allow me to briefly introduce myself. I'm a board certified holistic nutritionist, a certified

functional medicine practitioner, and a nutritional therapy practitioner. I run a functional

medicine clinic via phone and Skype consultations. I've got clients as far as New Zealand,

Australia, South Africa,

South America, and the good old United States. And today we're chatting with my friend,

Dr. Justin, about the importance of the immune system and adequate levels of stomach acid and enzymes in terms of preventing and treating infections.

Before we get into that show, let me tell you about our sponsor, Kettle and Fire, our first sponsor of this show.

I've had so many offers of different companies promoting anything from organic energy drinks

loaded with sugar to paleo protein bars loaded with sugar.

And a lot of these things just don't sit right.

So I told you I'm going to find a good sponsor and I did.

So kettle and fire provides shelf stable organic bone broth.

I have about 15 boxes of the chicken bone broth in my pantry right now.

I will likely drink some of that today.

It does gel when you put it in the fridge.

So we know, I've seen the behind the scenes,

but we know just based on when you refrigerate it,

when it gels up, you know you're getting a good product.

You're gonna get your cysteine, your proline,

a lot of the amino acids that are important

to heal the gut lining.
