23. Dr. Will Cole on Why We Need to Get Out of Toxic Tribalism

In this episode, I have a conversation with Dr. Will Cole, one of the top functional medicine experts in the country and fellow fighter to find the middle path in this world that is polarized between diet culture and anti-diet culture. He sets the record straight on his book Intuitive Fasting and discusses why it's so important we be wary of toxic tribalism and extremes. We get deep on all that's harmful with diet culture and anti-diet culture, and most importantly, we discuss why being flexible, curious, and open to being experimental is beyond key to finding your own internal wisdom.   Dr. Will Cole is a leading functional medicine expert who consults people around the world via webcam and locally in Pittsburgh. Named one of the top 50 functional-medicine and integrative doctors in the nation, Dr.Cole specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease and customizing a functional medicine approach for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, and brain problems. He is the bestselling author of Ketotarian, The Inflammation Spectrum, and the New York Times Bestseller Intuitive Fasting in which he shows how to use the powerful benefits of flexible intermittent fasting to gain metabolic flexibility and find food peace.   You can find out more at drwillcole.com.
