Hello, folks. This is Evan Brand. Thanks for joining me. Life got a little crazy there.

I'm a certified functional medicine practitioner and nutritional therapist. If you're new to the show,

that's who I am. I've been running this thing for, this is year number seven of the podcast.

So, honor to be with you. Thank you for lending me your ears for a bit. I hope to make your life more

enjoyable, less stressful, more educated. You're part of the one percenters in terms of education.

99% of people don't know what I know and what I share with you on this show about functional

medicine. You don't believe me. Go down the street and go ask somebody, hey, do you know what mitochondria do? Hey, do you know what the Krebs cycle is? Hey, do you know what mercury does to the brain?

Hey, do you know about the blood brain barrier? Is your blood brain barrier leaky? Do you have a permeable

blood brain barrier, sir? They're going to say, what the hell are you talking about? So people don't know this stuff, you know, and this is very important because if you want to take

control of your life, you're not going to be able to do that by going down the street to your local

doctor and saying, hey, I've got this pain in my left foot. Do you know what that it? They probably don't have an answer.

And so I'm not anti-doctor.

I'm just anti-people who don't have the answers that I want.

And I had to figure all this stuff out myself because I got prescription pads written for antidepressants and antipsmatic drugs

and acid-blocking drugs and all sorts of stuff when I was trying to get

help from the conventional medical field and I did not take any of those prescription drugs and I

fixed my gut I cleared out parasites I got rid of H. Polori I fixed my mitochondrial issues I detoxed

heavy metals I started doing sonata therapy I a lot. I'm still on the journey

because now I've got insanely high levels of okrotoxin that showed up in my urine. I'm going to

start running this on every client. So if you're a client am I listening, hey, make sure we talk

about this. We need to get a mycotoxin panel run on you because, you know, I was living

in my brand new house, which I thought was so peachy and started having all those blood pressure
