Ancient Health Podcast
About this episode
Dr. Will Cole joins us in this episode to chat about the emotional and physical connection to your health. His most recent book “Gut Feelings” goes beyond the emotional connection to food and dives deep into the shame we feel that can cause gut inflammation. Dr. Cole coined the term “Shameflammation” which represents the dynamic of the signals sent to your brain that communicate you are overwhelmed, overworked, or overtired. Inflammation can be the cause of chronic health conditions such as autoimmune disorders, depression, IBS, and more.
Other topics discussed are:
-Concerns with body positivity culture
-The damaging effects of alcohol
-Chronic stress as the ultimate junk food
-Life edits for your wellness routine
-Loving foods that love you back
-How to initiate parasympathetic activation
