The Art of Being Well

UFC World Champion Miesha Tate joins Dr. Will Cole for one of the most honest conversations about an athlete's relationship with food, hormones, and identity ever recorded on this show. Miesha shares her journey from a broke college kid fighting in a barn to winning a world title — and what it cost her: eating disorders, yo-yo dieting for 14 years, a hypothyroidism diagnosis at 19, losing her period after dropping to 125 pounds post-kids, and the moment after retiring that brought her to a breaking point. She also shares what actually healed her — spiritually, relationally, and physically — and why she's now on a mission to close the gender gap in hormonal research, starting with the luteal phase.

In this Ask Me Anything episode, Dr. Will Cole and his team answer three listener questions that go deeper than most: BPC-157 for osteopenia at 35 and the full food-first bone density protocol, what to do when you live within a mile of a golf course and have Hashimoto's while pregnant, and ovarian cysts with a doctor who only offers birth control. They also cover the PCOS-to-PMOS name change — what it means clinically, why functional medicine has known about the metabolic component for years, and whether the timing of the rebrand is a little too convenient given the GLP-1 explosion.

Sisley Fraser - holistic nutritionist, and one of the leading voices in functional skin health - joins Dr. Will Cole for a comprehensive, root-cause conversation on what acne is actually communicating and what to do about it. They cover the gut-skin axis, TCM face mapping, how acne timing in the menstrual cycle points to specific hormonal imbalances, the A1 vs. A2 dairy debate, phytoestrogenic foods as gentle estrogen modulators, xenoestrogens and the toxic bucket, why most people's skincare routines are making their acne worse, and the case for going pro-fruit. Sisley also shares her minimalist skincare protocol - including Manuka honey as a morning mask - and why the conventional "avoid all dairy, restrict everything" approach is creating more problems than it solves.

Illie Balaj - founder of Healthillie and one of the most relatable voices in the wellness space - joins Dr. Will Cole for a conversation that covers everything from the Kellogg's artificial dye protest to two years of navigating an unexplained fertility journey. They talk about the tribal pushback that followed the food dye movement, why the dietary guidelines function more as a lobbying tool than a public health document, the SNAP junk food debate, and how to stay grounded on the biohacking spectrum without going neurotic. Illie also shares her experience with the conventional IVF model, how she found a NAPRO technology doctor who actually looked at her labs, why silent endometriosis may be behind far more fertility struggles than anyone is talking about, and the tools - neurofeedback, adrenal cocktails, homeopathy - that have made this season manageable.

Dr. Judy Morgan - integrative veterinarian, author of nine books, and one of the leading voices in holistic pet health - joins Dr. Will Cole to pull back the curtain on what conventional veterinary medicine has been getting catastrophically wrong. They cover what's actually in commercial kibble (including why it may legally contain euthanasia solution), why annual vaccinations are largely unnecessary when titer testing exists, why spaying and neutering before six months is the hormonal equivalent of making your puppy postmenopausal overnight, and what flea and tick pesticides are actually doing inside your pet's nervous system. Dr. Morgan also explains traditional Chinese veterinary medicine food therapy, the five element constitutions for pets, the supplements worth knowing about, and the raw food movement that has the big pet food companies very nervous.
