The Art of Being Well

Dr. Terry Dubrow — board-certified plastic surgeon, star of Botched, and self-described "preservation longevity" obsessive — joins Dr. Will Cole for one of the most wide-ranging and genuinely entertaining conversations the podcast has had. They cover the accidental origin of Real Housewives of Orange County (Terry signed Heather's name to the contract without asking her), the peptide landscape including Terry's take on retatrutide and the importance of compounding pharmacies being legal again, high-dose creatine and memory testing, AI erasing the price of intelligence, the TIA he had at The Ivy restaurant and the 3-minute PFO repair that followed, why deep plane facelifts are overhyped and overpriced, and what he actually takes every day to preserve what he calls his "meat body."

In the first episode of a new format — Health Hot Take — Dr. Will Cole and Andrea from his clinical team break down the gain-of-function research news cycle following recent declassified documents from the Director of National Intelligence. They cover what gain of function actually is, the COVID lab leak evidence, Fauci's pardon and what the 2014 date may mean, the Lyme disease bioweapons origin theory, and the bioethics article suggesting scientists should intentionally engineer ticks to spread alpha-gal to reduce meat consumption. Then the conversation pivots to what actually matters: what any of this means for your immune system, your epigenetics, and your health — and what you can do about it. Dr. Cole also shares his personal tick bite story, how to send a tick in for free testing, and the three things he's taking proactively.

Elle Macpherson returns to The Art of Being Well for her most personal conversation yet — recorded the morning after a dinner where she and Dr. Will Cole shared things they'd never discussed on camera before. They cover the Hoffman Process and how it quietly laid the groundwork for sobriety, what getting sober actually changed physically and relationally, the healing power of tears and screaming in the car, and why Elle thinks healing is better understood as rebalancing. They also get into the power of language around illness, the perimenopause reframe she wishes every woman had access to, the WellCo Three Steps Well protocol, and a morning routine built around simplicity and consistency.

Dr. Barbara Paldus — biotech engineer, founder of Codex Labs Corp, and one of the most rigorous minds in plant-based skin science — joins Dr. Will Cole to break down the full skin-gut-immune axis behind eczema, acne, psoriasis, and rosacea. They cover the five layers of the skin most people don't know exist, the filaggrin protein that eczema patients are missing, and how a combination of 14th-century Irish plants and a Bulgarian resurrection plant was clinically proven to achieve 95–97% eczema clearance in eight weeks with zero topical corticosteroids. Dr. Paldus also walks through the hormonal cascade driving acne, why milk thistle compares favorably to doxycycline, the L-histidine supplement protocol from their pediatric and adult clinical trials, and the launch of Decode Me — the first tele-naturopathy platform integrating functional labs, AI interpretation, and Fullscript.

Josephine Musco — entrepreneur, biodynamic winemaker, jewelry designer, and founder of Olyxir — joins Dr. Will Cole for a conversation about the silent health crisis hiding in the most mundane places: your tea bag, your paper cup, your K-Cup, your yoga pants. She breaks down the microplastics and nanoplastics data (including the 11.6 billion microplastics released by a single tea bag), why plastic plus heat is the most dangerous combination in most people's daily routine, and how she invented the Tea Strip — a dissolvable strip of ground tea leaves with zero plastic, zero bleach, and zero compromise. They also cover epigenetics, olive leaf's antimicrobial power, selenium as the overlooked anti-aging nutrient, and the story of a father who healed with herbs from a garden and a daughter who turned his wisdom into a product.
