Jessica Maguire - physiotherapist, nervous system researcher, and founder of Repairing the Nervous System - joins Dr. Will Cole for one of the most scientifically rich conversations the podcast has had on trauma, regulation, and healing. They cover the eight sensory systems, the overlooked science of interoception, why IBS has been reclassified as a gut-brain disorder, the freeze and collapse response, and why breathwork can actually dysregulate people who aren't ready for it. Jessica also shares her personal loss and the research journey it set in motion, and gives practical in-the-moment tools for nervous system repair grounded in neuroplasticity principles.

Emma Heming Willis and Helen Christoni, co-founders of Make Time Wellness, join Dr. Will Cole to talk about a conversation that's long overdue: women's brain health. They cover the striking statistics around women and Alzheimer's risk, what brain fog and memory lapses are really telling us, and why the standard of care has been failing women for decades. From the Mediterranean diet and the 3,000-step rule to sleep hygiene and breathwork, Emma and Helen share the practical pillars of brain health - and the science behind why starting now, not later, is what matters most.

Dr. Joshua Levitt, naturopathic physician and co-founder of UpWellness, joins Dr. Will Cole to set the record straight on one of the body's most powerful - and most misunderstood - organs: the liver. They break down what the liver actually does beyond filtering, why liver enzyme levels on standard bloodwork are often missed as early warning signs, and what genuine liver support looks like versus the "flush" myths circulating online. Dr. Levitt also explains the fascinating connection between liver health and mental health, and shares the specific compounds - from milk thistle to NAC to taurine - that actually move the needle on liver function. Plus, a conversation on alcohol, coffee, digestive bitters, and how the standard American diet is turning us all into force-fed geese.

Acid reflux isn’t always caused by “too much acid” - in many cases, it’s driven by low stomach acid, poor digestion, and gut dysbiosis. In this episode, Dr. Will Cole sits down with Dr. Daryl Gioffre to break down the real root causes behind reflux, bloating, sinus issues, and throat symptoms that often get mislabeled. They also discuss why common reflux medications aren’t intended for long-term use, and what the research suggests about chronic suppression of stomach acid. Plus, Dr. Gioffre shares his personal story of hidden mold exposure and the gut-brain impact that followed.

They unpack how PCOS, Hashimoto’s, and liver function can influence lipid markers and what to ask your doctor to run.

Dr. Deepika Chopra joins Dr. Will Cole to unpack what “real optimism” actually is and why it’s not the same as positivity or toxic positivity. They explore the research linking optimism to lower stress and inflammatory markers, and how shifting your appraisal of a stressor can change your physiology. Deepika shares her personal experience with ulcerative colitis and how chronic illness can affect energy, mindset, and agency. The conversation also covers why the brain prioritizes safety and survival over growth, and why nervous system regulation is often the missing first step. Plus, Deepika shares practical tools that build real optimism in everyday life, including small actions and the surprising science of music as medicine.

Dr. Nicole LePera joins Dr. Will Cole for an in-person conversation on trauma, attachment, and what it actually means to “reparent” the inner child. They explore how early experiences shape the nervous system, why stress can feel familiar, and how modern life and social media can reinforce dysregulation. Nicole breaks down ACE scores, attunement, and why trauma is less about the event and more about the body’s ability to process what happened with support. They also discuss body-based healing tools, including grounding, breathwork, EMDR (and simple forms of bilateral stimulation), and why rest can feel unsafe for many people.

This live episode was recorded at the Eudemonia event and features a respectful, on-stage conversation about America’s chronic disease crisis and why health has become so politicized. The panel explores root causes from both an individual and population-health lens, including ultra processed foods, stress, and social determinants of health. They discuss how dietary guidelines and school food policies get shaped, why nuance matters, and what changes actually move the needle. The conversation also tackles SNAP, food insecurity, and the debate around restrictions versus incentives. Finally, they address how trust in science can be damaged when complex systems are reduced to soundbites.

Danny Morel joins Dr. Will Cole for a deep conversation on how childhood dynamics can shape self-worth, relationships, and the way we chase success.

They explore what it looks like to heal from the inside out through nervous system regulation, grounding, and breathwork.
