Whether they're a mom or not, this applies to women, but specifically moms is that they're

put themselves in the back burner. We normalize all the stuff that shouldn't be normalized.

We just push through because we have to as humans, but specifically women in our modern

hustle culture, burnout culture world, right?

Welcome back. Today I'm joined by Dr. Will Cole, one of the top functional medicine doctors in the country and is the person that people turn to and they feel terrible. But keep getting told, everything looks normal. If your body feels off in ways you can't explain, the low energy, the brain fog, the weird symptoms, the gut issues that seem to come out of nowhere, this conversation is going to

feel like someone is finally speaking your language. Dr. Cole and I get into the real

reason so many women hit a wall in midlife, even when their basic labs come back fine. He breaks down

the difference between normal and optimal ranges and why most women aren't getting the full

picture. And which markers actually tell the truth about your energy and your inflammation

and whether your body is stuck in survival mode. We talk about our thyroid and ferretin and why low iron stores fly under

the radar for years. The gut problems that suddenly show up, even though you're eating the same

food you always have, and what has changed in our life, our stress, and our environment that make

these symptoms so common now. We dig into the physical signs that your nervous system is overloaded, the supplements

that he would pick for women in midlife, and the simple changes he would make just to help you feel

better, think clearer, and get your spark back. If you've ever walked out of a doctor's office

thinking, I'm glad my labs are normal, but I still feel like hot garbage. This episode is going to give you the

clarity that you've been missing and a plan that actually makes sense. Now, before we dive into the

conversation, I want to tell you. Okay, let's dive in to my conversation with my new friend, Dr. Will Cole.

Dr. Will Cole, welcome to the show. I'm so excited to have you. Thanks so much for having me. I'm excited.
