Hello, welcome back to the show. I'm your host, Evan Brand. Thanks so much for being here.

0:04.3

And if you're new to the show, I'm board certified in holistic nutrition. I've been working

0:08.2

in the functional medicine space for the last 13 years. I started out interviewing the world's

0:13.0

best doctors, naturopass, functional medicine people, and just trying to figure out exactly how do I

0:17.2

fix my own health? My story was I had gut issues, I had skin problems, I had sleep

0:23.1

issues, and all of that was connected to parasites, gut bacteria, mold toxicity, lime,

0:29.9

bartonella, Babesia. It's been a long road and it keeps going. And if someone tells you there's

0:34.6

one magic fix to your health problems, they're probably wrong.

0:38.5

So diet, a particular supplement, it's just not that easy.

0:42.3

And the more cases that I see now over 7,000 cases in my one-on-one telemedicine practice,

0:47.8

I work with people around the globe and I have another provider that works with me as well,

0:51.4

who's absolutely amazing and skilled and gifted.

0:55.9

But in the 7,000 plus cases we've seen, it's rarely, rarely, rarely, rarely one lever that we have to pull. So you may get

1:02.0

some benefit by working on adrenals and liver, and then the gut, and then the brain chemistry, right?

1:08.1

So there's this big entangled web of all these different body systems,

1:12.0

the gut skin brain access, the gut thyroid axis, so all these things are connected. So I just want you

1:17.1

in 2026 to look deeper. Get an oat test and get a GI map. Those are the two most important

1:23.1

labs that you can do. Now I can help you run mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides. There's other

1:29.3

things that we can do, hormone profiles, blood panels, et cetera. But after seeing 7,000 plus cases,

1:35.1

I've learned what labs actually help you change the clinical protocol, meaning if you see

1:41.1

something a little bit off on blood work, let's say your white blood cell count was a little bit low. Okay, interesting. There's probably a chronic infection, but that doesn't tell me anything about depression or anxiety, the main complaints you came in with. I need to look at neurotransmitters for that. I want to look at the organic acids and get the data from there. So BetterBelly Premium is an alternative to doing a one-on-one consult with me. So if you want to save some money, but you still want to get the best functional medicine labs, BetterBelly Premium is what you can do. And we've had well over a thousand students run through that, and it's a blast. And you get me. It's not just a course. You get me. So we're on these live calls every two weeks. We look at about seven to ten cases, however many we can get in the time frame. It's about two hour call. It's a party every time. I mean, it's just a good energy. Like we all leave feeling better than we did when we started. And this is a big training session. So I'm teaching everyone on the fly. We're live reviewing lab results and then we're building protocols. So it's a really good time. I hope that if you haven't had this data yet, this is going to be your way to get your foot in the door and get these functional medicine labs. So betterbellycourse.com has the info for that. And if you need a one-on-one call, that's still available. If your case is really complex, you've been to 20 doctors, definitely reach out. Do a one-on-one call with me or my other provider and we'll take good care of you. All right, well, I'm excited to announce we have a new product. We just launched it yesterday. So if you're listening towards the end of December 2025 here, brand new product, it took me a long time in thousands and thousands of dollars in testing to just find a

3:11.0

clean source of honey in the United States, and we've done it.
