Episode 166: Dr. William Cole

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. William Cole was trained as a Chiropractor, went on to get his doctorate in Natural Medicine, is a pioneer in Functional Medicine, and has been practicing telemedicine care for over 10 years out of his office in Pittsburg. In our discussion, we talk about how Dr. Cole, as a Chiropractor, became interested in Functional Medicine and Naturopathic Medicine, the difficulties associated with starting a practice based on Integrative and Functional Medicine practices (especially ten years ago!), the key differences between Functional and Conventional Medicine, the effects of stress on metabolic health and the interplay between lifestyle and wellness, autoimmunity and autoimmune diseases. Additionally, we discuss some listener's questions regarding the relationship between stress and exercise, how to assess thyroid health, elimination diets, the benefits of A2 dairy for those with lactose issues, as well as EOE and Burning Mouth Syndrome.
