Although Dr Brown is a real doctor, the Gut Check project is here to inform, discuss and most of all have fun. 

The show is not intended to diagnose or treat anything. 

So if you have a new mole, grew and extra toe, and cant figure out that weird rash, we recommend that you go get checked out by your healthcare provider. 

So sit back , free your mind, and get ready to think and step into the gut check project.
