In this episode of Brave Talks, Emily chats with Dr. Will Cole, a leading functional-medicine expert, specializing in the underlying factors of chronic disease. Holistic care and love for the self play such a crucial part in the quality of our lives - and yet much of this message is confused and muddled by social media, diet culture, opportunistic medical practices, and more. Dr. Cole’s affirmation that “You can’t heal a body you don’t love” sparks a deep exploration into the meaning of self-love and the impact our relationship to our body and to others can have on our health.
