A Deep Dive on Intuitive Fasting, Metabolic Flexibility and How to Boost Your Immune System Right Now!!!

 

Dr. Will Cole is our first repeat guest on the show and undoubtedly one of the most experienced and educated individuals in the field of Nutrition and Functional Medicine.

 

He is a leading functional-medicine expert, who specializes in clinically investigating the underlying factors of chronic disease and customizing health programs for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal dysfunctions, digestive disorders, and brain problems. Dr. Cole is also a best-selling author of multiple books and hosts the highly popular podcast, The Art of Being Well. 

 

Today our conversation takes a somewhat similar path as our initial one as we talk all things functional medicine and holistic health. But this time, we talk quite a bit about fasting. And not just fasting, "Intuitive Fasting" which is also the title of his latest New York Times best-selling book.

 

Much of our discussion today focuses on the science of fasting and how it builds resilience, improves your brain health, reduces your inflammation and boosts your immune system. Dr. Cole shares the importance of having metabolic flexibility when it comes to maximizing our health and why metabolic inflexibility is at the root of so many health problems that we are facing. Believe it or not, fasting is a great way to develop metabolic flexibility which you will learn today.

 

I also pick Dr. Cole’s brain about what he’s currently advising his patients to do to boost their immunity and help protect them from viruses.  Dr. Cole showcases his 4-week plan to get started fasting in a way that’s comfortable, effective, and of course intuitive.

 

Essentially this is a conversation that will help you embrace the incredible benefits of fasting without feeling overwhelmed and frightened.

 

Hopefully, after listening to this episode you will feel inspired to take control of your health so that you can do what you can to reduce inflammation. strengthen your immune system and live longer.
