In this special episode, Dr. Will Cole takes the stage at Wanderlust to deliver one of his most comprehensive talks on the bi-directional relationship between gut health and mental health. He covers the science of neuroinflammation, leaky gut, intergenerational trauma, and why standard lab reference ranges are failing patients - along with the specific tools, supplements, and mind-body practices that actually move the needle. This is functional medicine as Dr. Cole teaches it: rigorous, compassionate, and deeply practical. For all links mentioned in this episode, visit www.drwillcole.com/podcast.

Emma Heming Willis and Helen Christoni, co-founders of Make Time Wellness, join Dr. Will Cole to talk about a conversation that's long overdue: women's brain health. They cover the striking statistics around women and Alzheimer's risk, what brain fog and memory lapses are really telling us, and why the standard of care has been failing women for decades. From the Mediterranean diet and the 3,000-step rule to sleep hygiene and breathwork, Emma and Helen share the practical pillars of brain health - and the science behind why starting now, not later, is what matters most.

Dr. Joshua Levitt, naturopathic physician and co-founder of UpWellness, joins Dr. Will Cole to set the record straight on one of the body's most powerful - and most misunderstood - organs: the liver. They break down what the liver actually does beyond filtering, why liver enzyme levels on standard bloodwork are often missed as early warning signs, and what genuine liver support looks like versus the "flush" myths circulating online. Dr. Levitt also explains the fascinating connection between liver health and mental health, and shares the specific compounds - from milk thistle to NAC to taurine - that actually move the needle on liver function. Plus, a conversation on alcohol, coffee, digestive bitters, and how the standard American diet is turning us all into force-fed geese.

Claudia shares her story of getting glasses at age three, becoming glasses-free as a teen, and later retraining her vision again during a high-stress season. They unpack the role of chronic stress, nervous system tension, and “tunnel vision,” plus how screens impact blinking, dry eyes, and near-point strain. Claudia also shares practical tools like palming, visual breaks, and building better “visual hygiene,” along with insights on light sensitivity, night vision, and nutrition.

Acid reflux isn’t always caused by “too much acid” - in many cases, it’s driven by low stomach acid, poor digestion, and gut dysbiosis. In this episode, Dr. Will Cole sits down with Dr. Daryl Gioffre to break down the real root causes behind reflux, bloating, sinus issues, and throat symptoms that often get mislabeled. They also discuss why common reflux medications aren’t intended for long-term use, and what the research suggests about chronic suppression of stomach acid. Plus, Dr. Gioffre shares his personal story of hidden mold exposure and the gut-brain impact that followed. For all links mentioned in this episode, visit www.drwillcole.com/podcast

In this Ask Me Anything episode, Dr. Will Cole and his clinical team answer listener questions on high LDL and what labs give a clearer picture than total cholesterol alone. They unpack how PCOS, Hashimoto’s, and liver function can influence lipid markers and what to ask your doctor to run. They also cover low ferritin with pernicious anemia, B vitamin labs, and why absorption matters just as much as what you take. Plus: missed estradiol patches and spotting, “burping your house” for healthier indoor air, and a social media debate on GLP-1 medications.

Dr. Deepika Chopra joins Dr. Will Cole to unpack what “real optimism” actually is and why it’s not the same as positivity or toxic positivity. They explore the research linking optimism to lower stress and inflammatory markers, and how shifting your appraisal of a stressor can change your physiology. Deepika shares her personal experience with ulcerative colitis and how chronic illness can affect energy, mindset, and agency. The conversation also covers why the brain prioritizes safety and survival over growth, and why nervous system regulation is often the missing first step. Plus, Deepika shares practical tools that build real optimism in everyday life, including small actions and the surprising science of music as medicine.
