| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Evan Brand. Here we are over a decade later, |
| 0:04.9 | still pumping out content. I'm just glad that you're here and you're on the continuous |
| 0:09.0 | journey to improve your health. Today, we've got my buddy, Dr. Jay. We're going to be chatting |
| 0:13.8 | about the IBS root causes that doctors miss. Now, that was my diagnosis. So I have a personal, |
| 0:23.0 | personal, personal love and passion for the subject of IBS. I've seen over 7,000 cases in my one-on-one practice and another |
| 0:28.9 | several thousand cases in my group program. And most of these people have a gut component to their |
| 0:34.5 | illness. So we're going to dive into that today. I just want to lay this out |
| 0:37.6 | clearly in case you're not 100% sure on how I work and how I can help improve your life. So I have |
| 0:44.1 | two main options, two main veins, if you will, two main forks in the road that you can go down. |
| 0:49.5 | The first one is a one-on-one console where I can use my decade plus of functional medicine experience |
| 0:55.2 | to look at you as a one-on-one client. We will run the GIMap, the organic acids, and possibly |
| 1:01.3 | some other tests as well, depending on what symptoms you present with. Sometimes we have to dig |
| 1:06.1 | a little bit deeper into hormones, Lyme, co-infections, mold toxicity. And in that one-on-one practice, we will |
| 1:13.2 | review your labs together and I will build a protocol for you. The other fork in the road is |
| 1:18.9 | the group program, which we have under the umbrella, fame, functional academy of medicine and |
| 1:24.5 | epigenetics. I've got a handful of courses in there, including a chronic |
| 1:27.6 | fatigue course, a long-haul syndrome course. But in the group setting, you get the same labs, you get the Oat, you get the GIMap, and then you join either on the live calls or you just say, hey, I don't need to be on the live call, just tell me what to do. And I will build a protocol for you. You do save a lot of money that way. It's just less intimate than the one-on-one. So whatever you |
| 1:49.7 | want to do, you're still going to get better. You're still going to get a customized protocol for me. |
| 1:54.4 | I'm not doing any sort of cookie cutter stuff. I'm building these protocols out based on your |
| 1:59.8 | specific lab results and nothing more. |
| 2:01.9 | I'm not giving you stuff just because I find that most people that come to me from other |
| 2:06.9 | providers especially, they're taking way too many supplements and they're actually not getting |
