Maybe your colonoscopy, 0:05 back normal. Maybe your colonoscopy, too. But you're still bloated, tired, 0:09 too. But you're still bloated, tired, 0:09 too. But you're still bloated, tired, foggy, and no one can tell you why. 0:12 foggy, and no one can tell you why. 0:12 foggy, and no one can tell you why. Normal isn't an answer. There are six 0:14 Normal isn't an answer. There are six 0:14 Normal isn't an answer. There are six tests that I run in my practice that 0:17 tests that I run in my practice that 0:17 tests that I run in my practice that most doctors never order. Number six 0:21 most doctors never order. Number six 0:21 most doctors never order. Number six isn't about your gut at all. It's about 0:24 isn't about your gut at all. It's about 0:24 isn't about your gut at all. It's about your heart. 0:25 your heart. 0:25 your heart. If no one runs them, then you'll keep 0:28 If no one runs them, then you'll keep 0:28 If no one runs them, then you'll keep hearing everything looks fine, and this 0:30 hearing everything looks fine, and this 0:30 hearing everything looks fine, and this can go on for years. Remember Jen from 0:33 can go on for years. Remember Jen from 0:33 can go on for years. Remember Jen from last week? Rosacea for years, two 0:37 last week? Rosacea for years, two 0:37 last week? Rosacea for years, two dermatologists, creams, antibiotics, 0:40 dermatologists, creams, antibiotics, 0:40 dermatologists, creams, antibiotics, lasers, but no one ran one simple test. 0:45 lasers, but no one ran one simple test. 0:45 lasers, but no one ran one simple test. It's number three on this list, and when 0:47 It's number three on this list, and when 0:47 It's number three on this list, and when we ran it, it came back positive. So, 0:51 we ran it, it came back positive. So, 0:51 we ran it, it came back positive. So, save this video, screenshot it, and take 0:54 save this video, screenshot it, and take 0:54 save this video, screenshot it, and take it to your next appointment. Let's start 0:56 it to your next appointment. Let's start 0:56 it to your next appointment. Let's start with what your doctor usually orders.
Standard vs functional gut workup 0:59 with what your doctor usually orders. 0:59 with what your doctor usually orders. Now, I want to tell you the difference 1:00 Now, I want to tell you the difference 1:00 Now, I want to tell you the difference between a standard workup and a 1:02 between a standard workup and a 1:02 between a standard workup and a functional gut workup. Standard blood 1:04 functional gut workup. Standard blood 1:04 functional gut workup. Standard blood work, you know, the CBC, CMP, all these 1:07 work, you know, the CBC, CMP, all these 1:07 work, you know, the CBC, CMP, all these things, maybe a simple thyroid scan. 1:09 things, maybe a simple thyroid scan. 1:09 things, maybe a simple thyroid scan. Most likely a colonoscopy is what 1:11 Most likely a colonoscopy is what 1:11 Most likely a colonoscopy is what they'll do. All of these are important, 1:13 they'll do. All of these are important, 1:13 they'll do. All of these are important, and but none of them evaluate the most 1:16 and but none of them evaluate the most 1:16 and but none of them evaluate the most important: your microbiome, your gut 1:19 important: your microbiome, your gut 1:19 important: your microbiome, your gut lining integrity, your food 1:21 lining integrity, your food 1:21 lining integrity, your food sensitivities, your bacterial 1:23 sensitivities, your bacterial 1:23 sensitivities, your bacterial overgrowth, your digestive function, the 1:26 overgrowth, your digestive function, the 1:26 overgrowth, your digestive function, the gut-specific inflammation markers. As a 1:29 gut-specific inflammation markers. As a 1:29 gut-specific inflammation markers. As a functional medicine doctor, the medicine 1:31 functional medicine doctor, the medicine 1:31 functional medicine doctor, the medicine that I like to do is everything above, 1:34 that I like to do is everything above, 1:34 that I like to do is everything above, plus the tests that actually explain why 1:36 plus the tests that actually explain why 1:36 plus the tests that actually explain why you feel the way you feel. So, let me to 1:39 you feel the way you feel. So, let me to 1:39 you feel the way you feel. So, let me to walk you through each one of them. The
Test #1: Comprehensive stool analysis 1:41 walk you through each one of them. The 1:41 walk you through each one of them. The first test is the comprehensive stool 1:43 first test is the comprehensive stool 1:43 first test is the comprehensive stool analysis. This is the foundation of any 1:46 analysis. This is the foundation of any 1:46 analysis. This is the foundation of any gut evaluation that I do. It's not just 1:48 gut evaluation that I do. It's not just 1:48 gut evaluation that I do. It's not just checking for blood or parasites, you 1:50 checking for blood or parasites, you 1:50 checking for blood or parasites, you know, a standard stool test would do. A 1:53 know, a standard stool test would do. A 1:53 know, a standard stool test would do. A comprehensive stool analysis shows your 1:55 comprehensive stool analysis shows your 1:55 comprehensive stool analysis shows your microbiome 1:56 microbiome 1:56 microbiome diversity, which bacteria are beneficial 2:00 diversity, which bacteria are beneficial 2:00 diversity, which bacteria are beneficial that are there, and which ones are 2:02 that are there, and which ones are 2:02 that are there, and which ones are harmful that could be overgrowing and 2:03 harmful that could be overgrowing and 2:03 harmful that could be overgrowing and causing problems. I like to look at the 2:06 causing problems. I like to look at the 2:06 causing problems. I like to look at the digestive markers. Are you producing 2:08 digestive markers. Are you producing 2:08 digestive markers. Are you producing enough enzymes? Is fat being properly 2:11 enough enzymes? Is fat being properly 2:11 enough enzymes? Is fat being properly broken down and absorbed name a few. 2:14 broken down and absorbed name a few. 2:14 broken down and absorbed name a few. Inflammatory markers like calprotectin 2:17 Inflammatory markers like calprotectin 2:17 Inflammatory markers like calprotectin and lactoferrin. These tell me if your 2:19 and lactoferrin. These tell me if your 2:19 and lactoferrin. These tell me if your gut is inflamed even when standard blood 2:21 gut is inflamed even when standard blood 2:21 gut is inflamed even when standard blood tests look normal. I'll look at immune 2:24 tests look normal. I'll look at immune 2:24 tests look normal. I'll look at immune markers. Is the gut immune system 2:27 markers. Is the gut immune system 2:27 markers. Is the gut immune system activated? I'll look at yeast and 2:29 activated? I'll look at yeast and 2:29 activated? I'll look at yeast and parasites, a much more thorough 2:31 parasites, a much more thorough 2:31 parasites, a much more thorough evaluation than a standard stool culture 2:33 evaluation than a standard stool culture 2:34 evaluation than a standard stool culture can do. This single comprehensive stool 2:37 can do. This single comprehensive stool 2:37 can do. This single comprehensive stool test gives me more information about 2:39 test gives me more information about 2:39 test gives me more information about your gut health than most standard 2:41 your gut health than most standard 2:41 your gut health than most standard workups combined. And you can't get 2:43 workups combined. And you can't get 2:43 workups combined. And you can't get these at standard labs. These are sent 2:45 these at standard labs. These are sent 2:45 these at standard labs. These are sent to specialized functional labs that look 2:48 to specialized functional labs that look 2:48 to specialized functional labs that look at all this. The second test that I like
Test #2: Zonulin (the leaky gut marker) 2:50 at all this. The second test that I like 2:50 at all this. The second test that I like is zonulin. This is the leaky gut 2:53 is zonulin. This is the leaky gut 2:53 is zonulin. This is the leaky gut marker. Remember in week one when I 2:55 marker. Remember in week one when I 2:55 marker. Remember in week one when I talked about the tight junctions holding 2:57 talked about the tight junctions holding 2:57 talked about the tight junctions holding your gut lining together? Zonulin 3:00 your gut lining together? Zonulin 3:00 your gut lining together? Zonulin release opens up those tight junctions, 3:03 release opens up those tight junctions, 3:03 release opens up those tight junctions, and when zonulin is elevated, it means 3:05 and when zonulin is elevated, it means 3:05 and when zonulin is elevated, it means your gut lining is permeable. Things are 3:08 your gut lining is permeable. Things are 3:08 your gut lining is permeable. Things are leaking through into your body that 3:10 leaking through into your body that 3:10 leaking through into your body that shouldn't be getting from your gut. This 3:12 shouldn't be getting from your gut. This 3:12 shouldn't be getting from your gut. This is one of the most important test that 3:14 is one of the most important test that 3:14 is one of the most important test that almost nobody orders because if your gut 3:17 almost nobody orders because if your gut 3:17 almost nobody orders because if your gut is leaky, it's driving inflammation, 3:20 is leaky, it's driving inflammation, 3:20 is leaky, it's driving inflammation, immune activation, and potentially 3:22 immune activation, and potentially 3:23 immune activation, and potentially autoimmune disease. And you can't fix 3:26 autoimmune disease. And you can't fix 3:26 autoimmune disease. And you can't fix what you haven't identified. The third
Test #3: SIBO breath test 3:28 what you haven't identified. The third 3:28 what you haven't identified. The third test is the SIBO breath test, SIBO. We 3:31 test is the SIBO breath test, SIBO. We 3:31 test is the SIBO breath test, SIBO. We covered SIBO in week three. That means 3:34 covered SIBO in week three. That means 3:34 covered SIBO in week three. That means small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. 3:36 small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. 3:36 small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. The breath test is simple. You drink a 3:38 The breath test is simple. You drink a 3:38 The breath test is simple. You drink a sugar solution and breathe into a 3:40 sugar solution and breathe into a 3:40 sugar solution and breathe into a collection device over two or three 3:42 collection device over two or three 3:42 collection device over two or three hours. It measures things like hydrogen 3:45 hours. It measures things like hydrogen 3:45 hours. It measures things like hydrogen and methane gases, and even some can do 3:48 and methane gases, and even some can do 3:48 and methane gases, and even some can do sulfur. These are produced by the 3:50 sulfur. These are produced by the 3:50 sulfur. These are produced by the bacteria and the yeast that are 3:51 bacteria and the yeast that are 3:52 bacteria and the yeast that are overgrown. If there is an overgrowth in 3:54 overgrown. If there is an overgrowth in 3:54 overgrown. If there is an overgrowth in the small intestine, those gases will 3:57 the small intestine, those gases will 3:57 the small intestine, those gases will show up early before they should. This 4:00 show up early before they should. This 4:00 show up early before they should. This test is for anyone that has chronic 4:02 test is for anyone that has chronic 4:02 test is for anyone that has chronic bloating, irritable bowel symptoms, 4:05 bloating, irritable bowel symptoms, 4:05 bloating, irritable bowel symptoms, rosacea of the face, probiotics that 4:07 rosacea of the face, probiotics that 4:08 rosacea of the face, probiotics that they take that makes them feel worse. 4:10 they take that makes them feel worse. 4:10 they take that makes them feel worse. And yet, most gastroenterologists don't 4:12 And yet, most gastroenterologists don't 4:12 And yet, most gastroenterologists don't even routinely order it. Actually, they 4:13 even routinely order it. Actually, they 4:13 even routinely order it. Actually, they might even order the wrong type of this 4:15 might even order the wrong type of this 4:15 might even order the wrong type of this test and not do the comprehensive one. 4:18 test and not do the comprehensive one. 4:18 test and not do the comprehensive one. And then test four is food sensitivity
Test #4: Food sensitivity panel 4:20 And then test four is food sensitivity 4:20 And then test four is food sensitivity panel. This is different than a food 4:23 panel. This is different than a food 4:23 panel. This is different than a food allergy test. The food allergies are IgE 4:26 allergy test. The food allergies are IgE 4:26 allergy test. The food allergies are IgE mediated. They're immediate and 4:28 mediated. They're immediate and 4:28 mediated. They're immediate and dramatic, like say if you eat a peanut 4:30 dramatic, like say if you eat a peanut 4:31 dramatic, like say if you eat a peanut um and then your throat swells. That's 4:32 um and then your throat swells. That's 4:32 um and then your throat swells. That's an immediate IgE reaction. I'm talking 4:35 an immediate IgE reaction. I'm talking 4:35 an immediate IgE reaction. I'm talking about food sensitivities that are 4:37 about food sensitivities that are 4:37 about food sensitivities that are delayed, the IgG mediated ones. 4:40 delayed, the IgG mediated ones. 4:40 delayed, the IgG mediated ones. Sometimes this could be delayed 24 to 72 4:43 Sometimes this could be delayed 24 to 72 4:43 Sometimes this could be delayed 24 to 72 hours, 3 days later. And the symptoms 4:46 hours, 3 days later. And the symptoms 4:46 hours, 3 days later. And the symptoms can be subtle, like bloating, fatigue, 4:49 can be subtle, like bloating, fatigue, 4:49 can be subtle, like bloating, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, or 4:54 brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, or 4:54 brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, or other things. You may even eat a food on 4:56 other things. You may even eat a food on 4:56 other things. You may even eat a food on Monday and then feel the effects on 4:58 Monday and then feel the effects on 4:58 Monday and then feel the effects on Wednesday and never even connect the 5:01 Wednesday and never even connect the 5:01 Wednesday and never even connect the two. A food sensitivity panel identifies 5:03 two. A food sensitivity panel identifies 5:03 two. A food sensitivity panel identifies which specific foods are driving the 5:05 which specific foods are driving the 5:05 which specific foods are driving the immune activation in your body. This is 5:08 immune activation in your body. This is 5:08 immune activation in your body. This is personalized and it's not a generic list 5:11 personalized and it's not a generic list 5:11 personalized and it's not a generic list from the internet. And then test five,
Test #5: Organic acids test (OAT) 5:13 from the internet. And then test five, 5:13 from the internet. And then test five, organic acid test. We call it the oat 5:16 organic acid test. We call it the oat 5:16 organic acid test. We call it the oat test, OAT. This is an urine test that 5:19 test, OAT. This is an urine test that 5:19 test, OAT. This is an urine test that gives a metabolic snapshot. It can 5:22 gives a metabolic snapshot. It can 5:22 gives a metabolic snapshot. It can identify if there's yeast overgrowth, 5:24 identify if there's yeast overgrowth, 5:24 identify if there's yeast overgrowth, like even candida markers, bacterial 5:27 like even candida markers, bacterial 5:27 like even candida markers, bacterial overgrowth markers, mitochondria 5:30 overgrowth markers, mitochondria 5:30 overgrowth markers, mitochondria function, neurotransmitter metabolites, 5:33 function, neurotransmitter metabolites, 5:33 function, neurotransmitter metabolites, nutrient deficiencies, detoxification 5:36 nutrient deficiencies, detoxification 5:36 nutrient deficiencies, detoxification capacity. It's one of the most 5:38 capacity. It's one of the most 5:38 capacity. It's one of the most comprehensive single test in functional 5:40 comprehensive single test in functional 5:40 comprehensive single test in functional medicine. And most conventional doctors 5:42 medicine. And most conventional doctors 5:42 medicine. And most conventional doctors have never even heard of it. And test 5:44 have never even heard of it. And test 5:44 have never even heard of it. And test six, TMAO,
Test #6: TMAO (the one about your heart) 5:47 six, TMAO, 5:47 six, TMAO, trimethylamine n oxide. This is one that 5:51 trimethylamine n oxide. This is one that 5:51 trimethylamine n oxide. This is one that surprises people. It's technically a 5:53 surprises people. It's technically a 5:53 surprises people. It's technically a blood test, not a gut test, but it's 5:56 blood test, not a gut test, but it's 5:56 blood test, not a gut test, but it's produced entirely by your gut bacteria. 5:59 produced entirely by your gut bacteria. 5:59 produced entirely by your gut bacteria. Here's how it works. If you eat red 6:01 Here's how it works. If you eat red 6:01 Here's how it works. If you eat red meat, egg yolks, or certain fish, your 6:04 meat, egg yolks, or certain fish, your 6:04 meat, egg yolks, or certain fish, your gut bacteria breaks down these compounds 6:06 gut bacteria breaks down these compounds 6:06 gut bacteria breaks down these compounds called choline and carnitine into this 6:09 called choline and carnitine into this 6:09 called choline and carnitine into this byproduct that's called t m a. Your 6:12 byproduct that's called t m a. Your 6:12 byproduct that's called t m a. Your liver then converts that into t m a o. 6:15 liver then converts that into t m a o. 6:15 liver then converts that into t m a o. Research has linked the elevated t m a o 6:19 Research has linked the elevated t m a o 6:19 Research has linked the elevated t m a o to higher cardiovascular risk and plaque 6:21 to higher cardiovascular risk and plaque 6:21 to higher cardiovascular risk and plaque build up in your arteries. Two people 6:23 build up in your arteries. Two people 6:24 build up in your arteries. Two people can eat the exact same meal and produce 6:26 can eat the exact same meal and produce 6:26 can eat the exact same meal and produce very different t m a o levels because it 6:29 very different t m a o levels because it 6:29 very different t m a o levels because it depends on which bacteria you're 6:31 depends on which bacteria you're 6:31 depends on which bacteria you're carrying. This is one of the clearest 6:34 carrying. This is one of the clearest 6:34 carrying. This is one of the clearest examples of your gut affecting an organ 6:37 examples of your gut affecting an organ 6:37 examples of your gut affecting an organ that has nothing to do with digestion. 6:39 that has nothing to do with digestion. 6:39 that has nothing to do with digestion. It has to do with your heart. The 6:41 It has to do with your heart. The 6:41 It has to do with your heart. The research on t m a o is still evolving, 6:44 research on t m a o is still evolving, 6:44 research on t m a o is still evolving, but I still use it as one of the pieces 6:45 but I still use it as one of the pieces 6:45 but I still use it as one of the pieces of the picture of the puzzle, and not 6:48 of the picture of the puzzle, and not 6:48 of the picture of the puzzle, and not just a standalone diagnosis. But it's a 6:51 just a standalone diagnosis. But it's a 6:51 just a standalone diagnosis. But it's a piece that most doctors never think to 6:53 piece that most doctors never think to 6:53 piece that most doctors never think to check. Next is inflammation markers.
Inflammation markers: CRP, ferritin, homocysteine, insulin 6:56 check. Next is inflammation markers. 6:56 check. Next is inflammation markers. Beyond the gut specific tests, I also 6:58 Beyond the gut specific tests, I also 6:58 Beyond the gut specific tests, I also evaluate systemic inflammation in the 7:00 evaluate systemic inflammation in the 7:00 evaluate systemic inflammation in the body. The c r p, c reactive protein, is 7:04 body. The c r p, c reactive protein, is 7:04 body. The c r p, c reactive protein, is a general inflammation marker. Ferritin 7:07 a general inflammation marker. Ferritin 7:07 a general inflammation marker. Ferritin is not just an iron marker. Ferritin is 7:09 is not just an iron marker. Ferritin is 7:09 is not just an iron marker. Ferritin is actually an acute phase reactant, which 7:12 actually an acute phase reactant, which 7:12 actually an acute phase reactant, which means that it rises with inflammation, 7:14 means that it rises with inflammation, 7:14 means that it rises with inflammation, whether or not you're iron deficient. 7:17 whether or not you're iron deficient. 7:17 whether or not you're iron deficient. So, a normal ferritin can actually 7:19 So, a normal ferritin can actually 7:19 So, a normal ferritin can actually sometimes be masking iron deficiency if 7:22 sometimes be masking iron deficiency if 7:22 sometimes be masking iron deficiency if there's inflammation driving it up. And 7:25 there's inflammation driving it up. And 7:25 there's inflammation driving it up. And a low ferritin is one of the earliest 7:27 a low ferritin is one of the earliest 7:27 a low ferritin is one of the earliest signs of iron deficiency, often from 7:30 signs of iron deficiency, often from 7:30 signs of iron deficiency, often from poor absorption of the gut. So, I look 7:33 poor absorption of the gut. So, I look 7:33 poor absorption of the gut. So, I look at ferritin alongside the c r p. I know 7:35 at ferritin alongside the c r p. I know 7:36 at ferritin alongside the c r p. I know whether what I'm looking at, if there's 7:38 whether what I'm looking at, if there's 7:38 whether what I'm looking at, if there's a true iron status problem, or if 7:41 a true iron status problem, or if 7:41 a true iron status problem, or if inflammation could be covering something 7:43 inflammation could be covering something 7:43 inflammation could be covering something up. And then homocysteine, this is 7:45 up. And then homocysteine, this is 7:45 up. And then homocysteine, this is linked to cardiovascular risk, brain 7:48 linked to cardiovascular risk, brain 7:48 linked to cardiovascular risk, brain health like dementia, and methylation. I 7:51 health like dementia, and methylation. I 7:51 health like dementia, and methylation. I also like to check the fasting insulin, 7:53 also like to check the fasting insulin, 7:53 also like to check the fasting insulin, one of the earliest markers of metabolic 7:55 one of the earliest markers of metabolic 7:55 one of the earliest markers of metabolic dysfunction, often abnormal for years 7:58 dysfunction, often abnormal for years 7:58 dysfunction, often abnormal for years before blood sugar problem shows up. And 8:01 before blood sugar problem shows up. And 8:01 before blood sugar problem shows up. And these are simple tests that should be 8:03 these are simple tests that should be 8:03 these are simple tests that should be part of every workup, but often aren't 8:05 part of every workup, but often aren't 8:05 part of every workup, but often aren't in with most doctors, but it's something 8:07 in with most doctors, but it's something 8:07 in with most doctors, but it's something that it's part of my comprehensive 8:09 that it's part of my comprehensive 8:09 that it's part of my comprehensive panel. So, here's what a real evaluation
What a real gut evaluation looks like 8:11 panel. So, here's what a real evaluation 8:11 panel. So, here's what a real evaluation of our practice looks like. I do a gut 8:13 of our practice looks like. I do a gut 8:13 of our practice looks like. I do a gut evaluation, and it's not a 15-minute 8:16 evaluation, and it's not a 15-minute 8:16 evaluation, and it's not a 15-minute appointment or just one lab order. It's 8:19 appointment or just one lab order. It's 8:19 appointment or just one lab order. It's a comprehensive look at your gut, your 8:22 a comprehensive look at your gut, your 8:22 a comprehensive look at your gut, your stool analysis, zonulin, maybe SIBO, 8:26 stool analysis, zonulin, maybe SIBO, 8:26 stool analysis, zonulin, maybe SIBO, food sensitivities, TMAO, to name a few. 8:30 food sensitivities, TMAO, to name a few. 8:30 food sensitivities, TMAO, to name a few. I also look at your hormones, the full 8:32 I also look at your hormones, the full 8:32 I also look at your hormones, the full panel, the thyroid say, not just the 8:34 panel, the thyroid say, not just the 8:34 panel, the thyroid say, not just the TSH, but the free T3, free T4, thyroid 8:39 TSH, but the free T3, free T4, thyroid 8:39 TSH, but the free T3, free T4, thyroid antibodies, reverse T3. I'll look at 8:42 antibodies, reverse T3. I'll look at 8:42 antibodies, reverse T3. I'll look at your inflammation markers, CRP or the 8:44 your inflammation markers, CRP or the 8:44 your inflammation markers, CRP or the HS-CRP, 8:46 HS-CRP, 8:46 HS-CRP, homocysteine, fasting insulin, your 8:49 homocysteine, fasting insulin, your 8:49 homocysteine, fasting insulin, your nutrients, B12, folate, vitamin D, iron, 8:54 nutrients, B12, folate, vitamin D, iron, 8:54 nutrients, B12, folate, vitamin D, iron, magnesium, omega-3s, just to name a few. 8:57 magnesium, omega-3s, just to name a few. 8:57 magnesium, omega-3s, just to name a few. I look at your lifestyle, how you're 9:00 I look at your lifestyle, how you're 9:00 I look at your lifestyle, how you're sleeping, your stress levels, your diet, 9:03 sleeping, your stress levels, your diet, 9:03 sleeping, your stress levels, your diet, your movement, and I also look at your 9:06 your movement, and I also look at your 9:06 your movement, and I also look at your environment. What toxins have you been 9:08 environment. What toxins have you been 9:08 environment. What toxins have you been exposed to? Where have you lived? Where 9:11 exposed to? Where have you lived? Where 9:11 exposed to? Where have you lived? Where are you living now? Have you had a water 9:13 are you living now? Have you had a water 9:13 are you living now? Have you had a water leak in your building causing maybe 9:15 leak in your building causing maybe 9:15 leak in your building causing maybe mycotoxin mold toxicities? Are you 9:18 mycotoxin mold toxicities? Are you 9:18 mycotoxin mold toxicities? Are you exposed to heavy metals? I'll look in 9:19 exposed to heavy metals? I'll look in 9:20 exposed to heavy metals? I'll look in your mouth at your amalgams and look at 9:22 your mouth at your amalgams and look at 9:22 your mouth at your amalgams and look at different things in in your mouth and 9:23 different things in in your mouth and 9:23 different things in in your mouth and your teeth. This is just a few of the 9:25 your teeth. This is just a few of the 9:25 your teeth. This is just a few of the things that I mentioned that I do in my 9:27 things that I mentioned that I do in my 9:27 things that I mentioned that I do in my comprehensive workup, but I'll look at 9:29 comprehensive workup, but I'll look at 9:29 comprehensive workup, but I'll look at all four pillars all at once.
