The Welcome back to the podcast.

I'm your host, Evan Brand.

I'm a certified functional medicine practitioner and a functional nutritional therapy practitioner.

Let's do some Q&A.

I am on Instagram at MR. It's like Mr. Evan Brand. If you want to follow

me there at the time of this recording, 12,000 of you guys follow me and you love the reels that I'm

posting. I try to post a reel every day or every other day. Just a minute to 90 second clip.

It's really tough to take functional medicine, these long-winded explanations of

stuff and break it down into 60 to 90 seconds. But it's great. It's good practice for me. So I hope

you all enjoy it. So check me out there. And usually every Monday or so I'll post a little

question box for people to ask questions and then I'll answer those. And so we're going to dive

right in. This podcast is brought to

you by myself but also my supplement company we use professional manufacturers so I don't know

if you know this but the vast majority of companies I won't name drop them here but we'll just say

every company you hear about on other podcast and other people promoting. They are all, we're called

contract manufacturing brands. Now this doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with it,

but they're not using professional manufacturers. What they're doing is they're using companies

that make supplements for other people, other companies, and they're mixing ingredients and shipping them out.

What we're doing differently is we are using companies that only manufacture supplements

for healthcare practitioners and health care providers, meaning you can't even get access

to these companies, to these products, to the level of manufacturing capability unless you have health care credentials.

And so that's what we use and that's who we use to make our products.
