And now I thought from Geico motorcycle it took 15 minutes to take a spirit animal quiz online please be the cheetah please be the cheetah and learn your animal isn't the cheetah but before less appealing blog fish come on let insult to injury you could've use those 15 blood fish minutes to switch your motorcycle insurance to Geico Geico 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on motorcycle insurance hello listeners out there it's a gut check project here with your host Dr. Ken Brown I'm Eric Rager and a course I got check project you check your egos at the door and nothing's off the table this is episode number 13 Doug Brown with that number 13 I miss that music bandwidth we actually had to travel little bits we missed last week we did a rerun on that one but I love that music and get my little metal groove I'll never hit him like a word and have some fun today yeah you know it's it you remind me of that you say you miss at music the music that I remembered when I was younger on Thursdays was cost show but were not going to be putting anything anybody's drinks so just mean you great way to open the show will will be, oh boy you will about sweaters anymore is it stepping out about sweaters so let's let's touch on that last week we've been trying for two and half years to you to get to the Institute functional medicine shall and this year we got our first chance to be a part of it I would say it right being Trond Teal trying to and that we were joined by Mike Logsdon and I think the three of us unanimously decided that not only was a great exposure for trying to heal we connected with people that have been using arch on teal for a long time and on top of that I think that we found a lot of new fans who just basically wanted new explanation on how much until could fit into their practice they love the fact it was less expensive was all natural solution for bloating and a course in Canada we can say IBS and Joseph say afterwards a I BSA but not BSC and obviously is IDSA but it was what you think I thought that the exposure to that level of really involved in caring practitioner was cute well so we the I FM this was the international IFN meeting we been trying to get in there for a long time what I learned from that was holy cow there are a lot of very smart doctors who are now adopting this functional approach because the system that we have right now are we just treat diseases it's breaking the bank lately it is a broken system that needs to feed on itself so these are a group of doctors that have flown in from all over the world and there are trying to help people at the base level so that we don't have to get to a point where they're being prescribed opioids or whether being prescribed this were to do this thing and so have a booth there without trying to and then have all these doctors that already knew about us was such a cool experience speaking of all of those positions that were there think about some of the other people that were there talking about their new delivery systems or for instance Carolyn Krishnan and just so everyone knows we can do a quick reset writ right here if you don't mind last week we did have shell so because we were on the road we didn't have the ability to do remote show because we were doing a completely different set up that being said Ron Krishnan of mega spore or actually it's like bio lads the makers of the megastore is a fantastic probiotic and we ended up doing a recording which will be released later this month of thus interviewing with Charon those kinds of innovative minds that's what's all over the IFN it's new ways to deliver health and wellness in a savings to the patient using in most cases natural approaches and they work they have science that backs it up is really super exciting that was so cool so first of all thank you get on yeah for taking us to have future results with amazing Peruvian Asian fusion restaurant and we just had a blast we did and I love being around like-minded people and entrepreneur who's a scientist she's a microbiologist in his training when he came to the house we did the podcast he kicked some crazy knowledge absolutely phenomenal as to why you should be using a spore based probiotic and not a traditional probiotic based on plausible science replicated in the lab that is what is amazing she is all about will that makes sense let's test he is a researcher first entrepreneur second and that's kind of the model we have outrun to you is because really we've got some science to back it and that's why we developed it and that's why think were gonna be able to possibly work together to really help a lot of people using the combination of the two dad hates he says he's pretty amazing in the way that he talks about science it's like he's talking about a friend oh he's just I mean he describes the you have to listen to this episode because it's so into it that it's so cool but we come from bacteria make no mistake about it yet and we have lost sight of that and we have developed a world that kills what he calls the whole mobile which is a term of never heard is a real rain forest when you take out the canopy things die and we have systematically been destroying our own God given reason why were here which is our micro bio and were all about the microbe I'm also talking about polyphenols talk about probiotics protecting Mike by Marissa said he just came out I just saw that yesterday where they were looking at how the micro biome affects aging if you have a healthy micro biome is an anti-aging situation then and it set in really when you start digging into the science that your Acheron and now is butchering his name so Chiron uses to back up where why spore-based probiotics are not only more efficacious but actually more natural and then you begin to look at how the micro biome itself benefits from having a spore base probiotic make its way to the: it's it really the mysteries no longer mystery it makes sense on why you need to care for that for your body and your you're basically a vehicle for bacteria and if you're keeping them healthy and happy you can be healthy and happy it's the signals we talked about what we've always talked on the bottom of this we talked a few episodes ago were in TCU they did the study with injected people would like the polysaccharides and they show that the new information created impulse problems the lead to anxiety all kinds of stuff please brought up LPS that's exactly what he talked about was a better marker remember that instead of just using C-reactive protein and other markers to find true long long-term information in order to find out if you could heal the gut LPS was a better marker and you could speak to distant is that something that current practitioners through traditional medicine are using no traditional medicine does not look at LPS I do have a science article today were really touching a little bit Because when we talked about the leaky got leading to leaky brain right well I got really cool article just published this month 2000 19 June 2019 will real look at how CBD and a cannabinoid like Endo cannabinoid called PEA actually some really cool science on that and that's what we always come back to bridging the gap or to trying take some science and bring it over here John was talking about that the whole time because this doesn't make sense why people are doing this with probiotics when we should be doing this because this makes a lot more sense we want to ruin that episode because I think it is one of the coolest funny nerdy e...
