| 0:20.8 | Hello and welcome back to the show. I'm your host, Evan Brand. Thanks for joining me. Today's podcast is going to be a good one. But first, just a couple promos to help this show stay rolling and also just improve your health. I mean, at the end of the day, the only reason I'm doing this a decade later is because I love it. I have a passion for this. I love helping people and I want to be able to help you. Today's podcast is about the top functional medicine lab test and I hope that you'll take advantage of this opportunity because |
| 0:25.2 | it's taken me over a decade to really build what I've built in terms of this platform. And what I mean by |
| 0:30.1 | that is BetterBelly, the actual course and program, we've put over a thousand students through that. |
| 0:35.8 | But now with this new group coaching opportunity |
| 0:38.0 | we've been able to help hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people get functional medicine |
| 0:42.5 | lab testing at a discount i've talked about dr mark hyman's new function health he's promoting the heck |
| 0:48.4 | out of that i can't get his face out of my algorithm it's like dude but it's just blood work it's not the functional lab so it's market it's like, dude, but it's just blood work. It's not the functional lab. So it's |

| 1:27.2 | have you in there. |
| 1:28.1 | You can add on those labs for an additional fee, but you're going to save a lot of money |
| 1:33.2 | working with me in this fashion. |
| 1:34.5 | Now, if you want one-on-one handholding, that's still an option. |
| 1:37.5 | It's just that the group calls for most people are a great way to hurry up, get labs at a discount, get a protocol made |
