Dr. Will Cole Talks About Functional Medicine and Nutrition!
How would your life change if you viewed good nutrition as a form of self-respect, not
self-restriction? Today we're talking to Dr. Will Cole, functional medicine doctor and author of
three books: Ketotarian, The Inflammation Spectrum, and Intuitive Fasting.
Dr. Cole has devoted his life to helping people take control of their health and wellness by rejecting the standard way of diagnosing illnesses and ailments.
