Summary

Hey Heal Squad! We’re continuing the theme of gut-brain health and bringing back an amazing 2 part episode with the brilliant Dr. Will Cole! In the first part of our conversation, we’re talking all about the emotional roots of our eating patterns and how food guilt, shame, and emotional triggers can sabotage both your health and happiness. Dr. Cole breaks down how our relationship with food is often shaped by trauma, cultural messaging, and emotional dysregulation—and how healing your gut can also help heal your brain and your inner world. We explore everything from cortisol overload and blood sugar swings to why your nervous system plays a bigger role in digestion than you think. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of restriction, bingeing, or guilt after eating, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface (and how to finally reclaim peace in your body and mind).
