Hi, my name is Melissa Urban, and you're listening to Do The Thing, a

podcast where we explore what's been missing every time you've tried to make a

change and make it stick.

Today my guest is Dr. Will Cole,

functional medicine doctor and ketogenic diet expert. If I had a dollar for every time you asked me about

keto I would be recording this from a private island in the Bahamas. There's a lot

of information and misinformation about what keto is, who it's for, and how to use it in a way that takes

into account your goals, lifestyle, and context.

Today we'll dig into the science and the practical application,

debunk some common misconceptions about keto and carbs,

and attempt to answer the question,

is a keto approach right for you?

spoiler, we're gonna say it depends a lot.

My guest today is Dr. Will Cole leading functional medicine expert who consults with people locally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and around the world via webcam.

He specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease

and customizing health programs for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions,

hormonal disfunctions, digestive disorders, and cognitive

function.

Dr Cole was named one of the top 50 functional medicine and integrative doctors in the nation

and is a health expert for Mind Body Green and Goop. He's the author of the book

Kedotarian, which melds the powerful benefits of a ketogenic diet with a plant-based

approach, and the soon-to-be released book The Inflamm Spectrum coming October 15th 2019.
