Hello, welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Evan Brand. I'm board certified in holistic

nutrition. I've been running an online functional medicine practice for over the last

decade. I love helping people around the globe with gut health and autoimmune conditions, thyroid

issues, mold toxicity, you name it. And today we're going to be chatting about family health.

These are the things that your doctor and especially your pediatrician just won't bring up. You know, it's very important as a parent to be dialed in with your health. This thing is a marathon. You know, it's super hard to be a parent. It's harder than anything I've ever done. Way harder than my day job. And most people on social media, they don't even have kids. Look at the most famous influencers. Most of them don't even have kids.

And so, of course, you could wake up and... people on social media, they don't even have kids. Look at the most famous influencers. Most of them

don't even have kids. And so of course you could wake up and put your bare feet in the grass and

slowly drink your coffee and take an hour to watch the sunrise. But if you have kids,

that's virtually impossible unless you're just completely off the grid homesteading and homeschooling

or something, right? So for most of us that are in the real world where you have to get kids to school and you have to function in society, what can you do to improve your ability to handle that stress? That's what we're going to unpack today. And I'm just grateful for the opportunity for you to be here. After over a decade of putting out these episodes, I still love doing this. And that's why I'm here.

Evanbrand.com. I can help in two different ways on my website. You can enroll in my Betterbelly

Premium program where you're going to get an oat test in a GI map and a protocol built by me

to help you get better. If you want more touch points, you want more handholding, you feel like

your case is more complex

you can always book a one-on-one consultation as well so either way evanbrandtcom has all the details

and feel free to just email us if you just have generic questions or questions that you don't even know

where to start with just email us office at evanbrandt com my team is always on standby and we can answer any questions you have

about the process. But my goal is get the data, get the data, test, don't guess with your health.

And once you have the data, you're much more confident and we can approach these things

with laser focus. So without further ado, let's get into the show.

Hey, it's out the Jay in the house today with Evan Brand. Today we're going to be talking about navigating family health challenges. Whether you have a family or not, we're going to be talking about health principles that are going to make it easier to be a better parent and to raise healthier kids. And again, even if you don't have kids, hopefully someday you will. It's a joy, but also a challenge. And so we're hoping to kind of navigate some of those pitfalls here today. Evan, how are we doing today, man? I'm good, man. And actually, I have a local friend here who I think he's probably having a baby like any time this week. His wife was like 41 weeks a couple of days ago. And I haven't heard from him in a couple of days. So maybe he's a new dad. So I'll have to forward this week.
