Hi, everybody, and welcome to Coach's Corner.

You know I love to talk about health, mind, body, spirit, emotional health.

And one of my favorite doctors, Dr. Will Cole, comes back to the show and joins me today

to talk about gut feelings, healing our gut and healing the shame-fueled relationship

between what we eat and how we feel.

If you haven't heard of Dr. Will Cole, he's the health advisor to Gwyneth Paltrow.

He's a top functional medicine practitioner and a New York Times best-selling author.

And he's really dedicated his career to teaching people to apply skepticism to nutritional

trends and instead pay closer attention to their own intuitions.

His new book, A Gut Feelings, demystifies the gut brain connection and provides a framework

to repair the relationship between what you eat and how you feel.

After over a decade, as a functional medicine expert, Dr. Cole discerned that shame can

cause gut inflammation and sabotage wellness through what he calls shame inflammation,

which we talk about in the show.

When you send signals to your brain that you're overwhelmed, overworked, overtired, hello,

anybody do that?

I'm raising my hand.

Your body reacts.

Shame inflammation can be the cause of chronic health conditions, autoimmune disorder, depression,

IBS, and more.

We break all this down in the episode.

I think you're really, really going to enjoy it.
