| 0:00.0 | What is up everybody? Thank you so much for tuning into the Evan Brand show. Here we are. |
| 0:04.6 | Over a decade into the show, 35 million downloads. Every country on the globe, pretty much, |
| 0:11.4 | has listened to the show. So thanks so much. I hope it's helped your friends, your family, |
| 0:14.7 | yourself, most importantly, because look, if you want to be a good caretaker, a good spouse, |
| 0:20.0 | boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, dad, wife, whatever, you got to take care of yourself. So remember, it's not selfish. It's self-first. The better you get, the more energy you have, the more libido you have to give out, right? All these things that you do improve all your relationships. So please, please, please keep working. Keep working. All right. So today's |
| 0:37.9 | podcast with my buddy, Dr. Jay, is about when food is not enough. And I have my board certification |
| 0:43.9 | in holistic nutrition, but I'll still be the first to tell you that diet is not enough. And I know |
| 0:49.9 | this because I've looked at some of your favorite health influencers lab test, and even the people |
| 0:55.2 | that are eating perfect, and I try to eat as good as I can, they still show up short, nutrient |
| 1:01.0 | deficient. Why? Well, because of soil depletion. We've over farmed it. We've used excessive |
| 1:05.3 | fertilizers and chemicals in the past hundred years. We've lost nearly 80% of the nutrition, according to the USDA papers |
| 1:12.4 | on this, vitamin C, zinc, biotin, iron, all these important nutrients for hair growth, skin, gut, |

| 1:29.8 | you have about 90, maybe 50, but 50 to 90 percent less vitamin C than the orange of your |
| 1:39.0 | grandparents and great-grandparents era. Therefore, the people that just promote diet, diet, |
| 1:45.7 | follow my meal plan to get XYZ health goal. It's just not true. And I see this on paper. I've tested over 6,000 people. |
| 1:52.4 | I actually give talks now to over 200 doctors a year educating about this issue of soil depletion |
| 1:58.0 | and nutrient depletion in the food supply. And we see this on testing. |
| 2:02.0 | Okay. This is not just my theory. This is verified with over 6,000 cases in my functional |
| 2:06.7 | medicine practice. What does that mean? Well, tune in to find out. Pretty simple takeaway. |
| 2:12.6 | Now, if you need functional medicine lab testing, I'd love to help you. We've had over 1,300 |
