The Art of Being Well

Dr. David Perlmutter — neurologist, New York Times bestselling author, and author of the new book Brain Defenders — joins Dr. Will Cole to reveal what he believes is the most important breakthrough in brain health science in decades: the microglial cell. He explains why the amyloid hypothesis that has dominated Alzheimer's research (and pharmaceutical spending) for 30 years has been definitively disproven by a Cochrane analysis, why a Harvard lifestyle study arrested Alzheimer's decline in 70% of patients without any drug, and what the April 2024 NEJM GLP-1 Parkinson's trial means for the future of neurodegenerative disease. They also cover the practical daily habits, foods, supplements, and lab tests that shift the brain's immune cells from destructive to protective — and why you are far more the architect of your brain's destiny than anyone has told you.

In Health Hot Take #2, Dr. Will Cole and Andrea go deep on something generating real alarm — not just on social media, but in town halls across the country. AI data centers: what they're emitting, what they're consuming, and what they're doing to the communities around them. They also pull back the curtain on the philosophical movement driving AI acceleration — from 19th century Russian philosopher Nikolai Fyodorov to Nick Land's dark enlightenment and the documented connections to key Silicon Valley figures. Plus: the practical EMF mitigation steps everyone can take, how to help bees survive a changing world, and why this is ultimately a call to be informed, empowered, and present.

In this Ask Me Anything episode, Dr. Will Cole and his clinical team address a third-year medical student experiencing deep frustration with conventional medicine, answer a practical question about canned chicken safety (and why sardines win every time), and tackle Lyme disease and vertigo — including why upwards of half of Lyme patients can develop POTS-like dysautonomia symptoms, and why a Lyme doctor saying there's no connection should raise eyebrows. They also cover the US nutrition education crisis in medical schools, the regenerative aquaculture movement, and how to build nervous system resilience after a Lyme diagnosis.

Laura Day — intuitive, author of seven books including The Prism, and the woman Demi Moore and Gwyneth Paltrow credit with changing their lives — joins Dr. Will Cole in New York for one of the most intellectually surprising conversations the podcast has had. Laura explains how intuition is not a gift reserved for special people but a mechanical system anyone can develop, and why the key is boundaries rather than access. She walks through the Prism framework — seven ego centers that correspond to the endocrine system and reflect both your internal and external world — and explains why picking the change you most resist is always the right one. She also shares what it means to be the sole survivor of a family where every other member suicided, and why she's grateful that system became the tool she could give others.
