Summary

Uncovering the Real Cost of Processed Foods on Your Health

"How we're doing food wrong today is criminal. We need to follow other countries that have banned artificial dyes and make our food supply safer for our families." - Dr. Will Cole

Dr. Will Cole, a pioneering functional medicine expert, pulls back the curtain on the shocking realities of America's food industry and its impact on our health. Fresh from confronting Kellogg's over harmful artificial food dyes at their headquarters, Will shares why thousands of food additives banned in other countries are still allowed in the US, and how this disproportionately affects our most vulnerable communities. We dive deep into the powerful connection between stress, emotional wellbeing, and gut health, exploring why setting boundaries might be your best medicine. Will also breaks down the truth about metabolic health, protein consumption for healthy aging, and why finding balance in our wellness approach matters more than following extreme protocols.

What you’ll learn:

Why the US allows thousands more food additives than other countries and how this impacts public health
The concerning connection between processed foods and behavioral issues in children
How stress and emotional health directly impact your gut microbiome and overall wellness
The critical markers for optimal metabolic health that your doctor might not be tracking
Why "JOMO" (Joy of Missing Out) could be the medicine your nervous system needs
The truth about protein consumption and aging - finding balance between extremes
How to recognize signs of nervous system dysregulation and what to do about it
