What if the key to better health isn't just treating symptoms, but understanding what's causing them in the first place?
This week, world-renowned functional medicine expert and New York Times bestselling author Will Cole joins us to explore the connection between physical health, mental wellbeing and the pressures of modern life.
In this episode, Will explains how chronic stress, unresolved trauma, poor nutrition and our constantly connected lifestyles can affect everything from inflammation and hormones, to energy and resilience.
He shares why burnout can be particularly difficult to recognise when you're passionate about what you do, and why even those who eat well and exercise can still struggle when the mind-body connection is overlooked.
Will breaks down the confusing world of peptides, and shares his thoughts on why finding a balanced ‘sweet spot’ is vital to achieving positive health outcomes. He also offers practical ways to manage stress, build healthier relationships with technology, and how to take a more considered approach to the overwhelming amount of health advice we encounter every day.
