In this episode we discuss: The relationship between your physical and emotional health and how stress and shame can result in chronic gut inflammation. Dr. Cole's latest book "Gut Feelings", which encourages the reader to listen to their gut and allow their intuition to guide them on their healing journey. The important vagus nerve and how it regulates the gut/brain axis. Insight into what Dr Cole sees in his practice as the root cause of auto immune conditions. "Shame-flammation," a term Will coined in his latest book, about how stress, shame and unresolved trauma are stored in our cells and the impact this has on our physical health. Will's tips to heal your body including taking what he has coined "metaphysical meals".
