Hello, welcome back to Notches Paleo. I'm your host, Evan Brand. I'm certified in functional

medicine, nutritional therapy, personal training, and I love working with people around the world.

I have the greatest job in the world helping people get to the root cause of their health

symptoms and remove them. You know, certain practitioners, if you have back pain, for example,

they'll come in and they'll give you some type of treatment, whether it's an insate or maybe even like a natural supplement for back pain.

But maybe they don't work back to the actual root cause of what's causing that.

Is it inflammation? Is it some type of infection? Is it adrenal problems? I find people with adrenal issues have low back pain, things like

that. So that's my goal. You can schedule free consults with myself back at my website, not just

paleo.com. Now here's the show with Mr. Reed Davis, the founder of the functional diagnostic

nutrition program. He's a functional medicine practitioner. He's a clinical advisor for biohealth

lab. And he's been in the trenches for a long time. And we just had a great chat. So enjoy this show

as we talk about gut bugs and lab testing and all of that. We've been chatting off air about gut

bugs. And this is what I figured would be a fun place for us to start.

I've been seeing so many.

I would say one in three stool tests that I'm running these days are revealing some type of gut

bug.

When did this get on your radar and what would you say like what order did gut bugs pop

into your life, you know, as a practitioner or just

as someone interested in health as opposed to all of the other things that people focus on,

hormones and all of that?

Like, when did gut bugs pop up and you're like, wow, this is something I need to pay attention

to?
