Episode #161: What’s Making You Sick: Cholesterol, Mitochondria & Chronic Disease Featuring DR. WILL COLE!!

What if the reason you feel tired, inflamed, foggy or simply OFF actually begins at the
CELLULAR LEVEL?

Leading functional medicine expert Dr. Will Cole reveals why cellular dysfunction may be at
the root of chronic health problems, what modern life is doing to our cells and why
addressing the root cause of disease requires looking far beyond symptoms and lab results.

Dr. Will Cole is one of the leading voices in functional medicine and started one of the first
functional medicine telehealth centers in the world over a decade ago. Named one of the top
50 functional and integrative doctors in the nation, he is the host of The Art Of Being Well
podcast and the New York Times bestselling author of Intuitive Fasting, Ketotarian, The
Inflammation Spectrum and Gut Feelings. His new book, Heal Your Cells, co-authored with
Dr. Josh Axe, explores how improving cellular health may help address chronic symptoms,
support longevity and optimize the way your body functions.

In this episode, he explains:

◼Why normal bloodwork doesn’t always mean optimal health
◼Why chronic health problems may begin with dysfunction at the cellular level
◼How your cell membrane affects hormones, mitochondria, energy and aging
◼How food, meal timing, artificial light, toxins, stress and trauma can affect cellular health
◼Why AI, technology and social isolation may be weakening our resilience and health
◼How HRV reveals what may be happening with your nervous system
◼Why cold plunges, fasting and other biohacks can become harmful when taken too far
◼Why there may be no universally healthy food for every person
◼The truth about creatine, electrolytes, melatonin, vitamin D, K2 and magnesium
