Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow. Today on the show, I welcome my good friend, Dr. Will Cole. Will is a leading functional medicine expert, specializing in clinically investigating the underlying factors of chronic disease

and customizing integrated approaches for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal

imbalances, digestive disorders, and brain problems. He founded the very first functional medicine

telehealth center in the world and consults with

thousands of people around the globe via web cam.

He's also the host of the ever popular, The Art of Being Well podcast and the New York

Times best selling author of intuitive fasting, gut feelings, ketitarian, and the inflammation spectrum. I've read almost all of

those books, and they are excellent. Now, in our conversation, we explore ketotarianism,

Will's unique approach to the ketogenic diet, plant-focused and yet low-carb, so pretty interesting,

and we discuss fasting and how the mix of

ketitarianism and fasting can address underlying metabolic disorders, like with me. We also

discuss his inspiring advocacy work. The Will is a part of a group that I affectionately dubbed

the serial killers. That's cereal with a sea,

along with Vanihari, the Food Babe, and others Will has been active in holding Kellogg's to

account for the chemical ingredients in their cereal products, which of course are targeted at kids.

We also discuss the shifting political landscape around healthy food and chronic

disease. Will is one of the most thoughtful and articulate voices in the health space and has been a

huge part of my wellness journey. So it's always a joy to speak with him. So without further delay,

I present you, Dr. Will Cole.

Okay, Dr. Will Cole. Welcome to the commune podcast.

Jeff Krasno, I always love an excuse to catch up with you.

I want to hang out with you in real life off-of-line and not be just doing it in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
