| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the show. I'm your host, Evan Brand. If you're new here, I'm board certified in holistic nutrition. I've been running an online telemedicine, 100% functional medicine practice where I've helped over 5,000 people. Lots of those are kids. I work with adults of all ages with digestive issues, mold illness, breast implant illness, long-haul COVID syndrome, vaccine injuries, spectrum, spectrum, |
| 0:21.8 | spectrum behavior, nonverbal kids, verbal kids, kids with IBS, adults with IBS, adults with hormone |
| 0:27.9 | issues, you name it. I mean, I've got a full list of conditions you can check out on my site, |
| 0:32.1 | but I'm one of the few guys out there that has the ability to zoom in on specific issues and be |
| 0:37.3 | really good at, say, |
| 0:38.4 | mold toxicity, Lyme, Bartonella, Babesia, but then I can also see the big picture. And the problem |
| 0:43.8 | with medicine, even in the natural medicine world, is that a lot of people, due to marketing, |
| 0:47.7 | they become a specialist and they are pigeonholed, right? So you go to the thyroid guy, |
| 0:52.6 | you go to the gut guy, you go to the gut guy, you go to the detox |
| 0:55.5 | specialist, right? Before you know it, you need 20 providers, just like you did in conventional |
| 1:00.7 | medicine, you were trying to avoid that. Now you have to go to the specialist functional |
| 1:04.1 | medicine person to fix XYZ issue. And it's really important that you find a provider like myself |
| 1:08.9 | that has the ability to look at all the |
| 1:10.8 | different body systems as a whole. The kidneys, the liver, the lymph, the adrenals, the thyroid, the gut, |
| 1:15.9 | the brain. This is all connected, okay? And so if you're just going to the brain guy, you're |
| 1:20.3 | probably not going to get everything you need. Now, today's episode is my bread and butter. |
| 1:25.2 | This is something that I've built my entire practice on for the last |
| 1:27.9 | decade is helping with gut issues, specifically parasites. And that's because I had parasites, and it |
| 1:33.0 | can affect your mood. It can cause weight loss, weight gain, you name it. There's so much more |
| 1:37.4 | that parasites can do that much people just don't talk about. And your conventional doctor |
| 1:41.5 | still says that it's a rare problem you got to go to |
| 1:44.9 | Indonesia to get infected you don't have parasites you live in America yada yada yada yada it's all BS okay |
