0:00.0	Hello, welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Evan Brandt. I'm a certified functional
0:04.1	medicine practitioner and a functional nutritional therapy practitioner. I work with clients
0:08.4	worldwide to help them find and fix the root causes of their health issues. And I work clinically
0:14.7	with people via phone, Skype, FaceTime. I have Megan on staff who's also certified functional
0:20.4	medicine practitioner and we are a great team.
0:23.2	So if you have symptoms, concerns, reach out.
0:26.4	I know you can try to do things on your own, but I'm going to save you more money, more time
0:30.2	if we get the proper labs done so we can advise you on the proper supplements, the diet
0:34.9	tweaks, the strategies you need to finally take back your health.
0:38.6	So that's all at my site, Evanbrand.com.

1:13.2	and he was one of the head trainers for one of the in-person kettlebell certification courses that I took several years ago.
1:20.9	It was a very, very priceless thing for me to do.
1:23.9	I didn't realize just how inflexible and how many muscles I did not work by doing just your
1:30.7	standard workouts, your squats, your pull-ups, your push-ups, your bench press. I was more into the
1:35.6	bodybuilding thing for years and I didn't realize just how out of shape I truly was until I started doing
1:40.9	what are called functional movement patterns using a kettlebell.
1:47.5	And so when you hear the word kettlebell, a lot of people get intimidated. Don't be intimidated.
