| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Evan Brand. Today we're chatting about the Great Mimiker. |
| 0:05.2 | The Great Mimiker, I mean, just a couple of them, mold and lime are primarily what we're referring to. |
| 0:11.1 | Because your conventional doctor doesn't run the functional medicine labs that I run, and therefore you're going to get missed in the medical system. |
| 0:18.1 | Meaning you could have this weird thyroid symptom. You could be cold. You could be hot. You could be irritable. You could be anxious. You could be depressed. And you're going to bounce around to different specialists to investigate that. But in reality, it could be something like lime or mold. So we're going to unpack that today on the podcast. First, if you haven't already, check out the honey. It's amazing. It's super small batch, so if it is sold out, I apologize. |
| 0:40.4 | Once I announce that to my Instagram page and our newsletter and our community, we'll |
| 0:46.1 | probably run out of the first batch. |
| 0:47.8 | But if you're listening to this, check it out, ororoutes.com. |
| 0:50.7 | I think honey's an incredible piece of the puzzle when it comes to stabilizing your |
| 0:55.2 | blood sugar. And just going strictly keto, strictly low carb, I didn't feel that good. I think there's |
| 1:01.7 | some benefit to having a little bit of that glucose, whether that's from fruit or honey. I think |
| 1:06.3 | those are great options. Am I saying go to a bunch of cane sugar? No. But our cinnamon creamed honey is |
| 1:12.0 | incredible. Our provider is just an amazing, amazing artisan, if you will, in this process of creating |
| 1:20.2 | a beautiful, raw, unfiltered product that is infused with salon cinnamon. I just love it. The texture |
| 1:27.2 | of it is absolutely mind-blowing. |
| 1:28.9 | I've never seen anything like this, so I'm super thrilled to have that for you all. So that is |
| 1:33.8 | oraroutes.com. You can just find it on the homepage there or just put in honey. You'll see we have a |
| 1:39.8 | wildflower as well as we have the cinnamon creamed. And these are both tested. We work with the detox |
| 1:46.0 | project to get the glyphosate free logo and certification. And that was extensive testing. And luckily, |
| 1:54.0 | we came out clean, which is extremely hard to do in the United States. I'm just very picky, as you know, |
| 2:00.8 | because I'm doing these |
| 2:02.3 | things personally, but then I'm also clinically using these tools. The supplements and everything we |
| 2:06.7 | provide has to be the utmost quality. So rest assured, you are getting a super, super clean and |
