The Art of Being Well

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.

Lucy Goff, founder of LYMA, joins Dr. Will Cole to break down the science behind one of the most talked-about supplement and laser brands in wellness. Lucy shares the story behind LYMA's founding - collapsing at 8 months pregnant, surviving septicemia after six weeks in ICU, and a chance encounter in Geneva with Professor Paul Clayton that led to a patented supplement formulation that changed her life. They cover the 11 peer-reviewed ingredients in the LYMA supplement, why the ID Squared gut powder uses different-length prebiotic fibers that no other gut product has replicated, and the clinical science behind the LYMA laser - including why LED cannot biologically change the dermis, and why the SIRT1 longevity gene was expressed six times in the dermis using the LYMA laser but not at all with LED. Plus: Martha Stewart, Courteney Cox, Joanna Czech, and a 78% wound reduction clinical trial. For all links mentioned in this episode, visit www.drwillcole.com/podcast.

In this Ask Me Anything episode — recorded from memory after the questions were accidentally deleted — Dr. Will Cole and his team answer listener questions on candida overgrowth, body odor as a gut-skin axis check engine light, and Alpha-Gal syndrome. They cover the rotating antifungal approach, the microbiome-body odor connection from a 2017 study, and how ear acupuncture showed 96% symptom relief for Alpha-Gal in a small clinical trial. The conversation also lands on a jaw-dropping Bioethics journal article suggesting scientists should intentionally bioengineer ticks to give humans Alpha-Gal syndrome as an environmental strategy to reduce red meat consumption. Plus Sip of the Summer round two: LaCroix Sunshine, a Costa Rica orange espresso, and organic black iced tea. For all links mentioned in this episode, visit www.drwillcole.com/podcast.

Doyle Bramhall II - guitarist, healer, and longtime collaborator of Eric Clapton - joins Dr. Will Cole for his very first podcast appearance. Doyle shares the story of growing up immersed in the Austin music scene, the dark side of the flower power era, and the decades-long personal journey through plant medicine, breathwork, Reiki, and energy work that led to the healing practice he now facilitates. They cover the science of DMT (including why gorillas beat their chests), the dangers of plant medicine without proper integration, the mycelia-internet connection, and intergenerational trauma stored in the body's cells. Dr. Cole also shares what happened during his own three-hour session with Doyle - a psychedelic-level experience with no plant medicine. Plus: how Doyle met Eric Clapton over a cold call from Japan and a Starbucks in Venice. For all links mentioned in this episode, visit www.drwillcole.com/podcast.
