Summary

In this Ask Me Anything episode, Dr. Will Cole and team answer listener questions on supplements and hormones, interstitial cystitis root causes, cooking and nutrient bioavailability, and how stress and trauma can influence inflammation. They clarify concerns around phytoestrogens and “estrogen-mimicking” supplements like nattokinase and milk thistle, and explain why bioindividuality and proper testing matter. They also share a clinical framework for understanding IC triggers, including inflammation patterns, histamine activity, oxalates, and environmental factors. The episode includes a practical breakdown of how cooking affects fiber and nutrient absorption, plus an encouraging conversation on rebuilding hope and joy during difficult seasons. Finally, they discuss emerging research on risk-based breast cancer screening and what it could mean for more personalized prevention.
