The Effects of EMF on Sleep Quality

Dr. Will Cole is a leading functional medicine expert who specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease and customizing functional medicine approaches for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders and more. He is also the host of The Art of Being Well Podcast and the author of Keto: The Inflammation Spectrum, Intuitive Fasting and most recently, Gut Feelings. 

We cover a wide range of topics regarding how to support and promote gut health, immunity, and optimal wellness. In this episode, Dr. Will answers explains the gut-brain axis and its connection to the nervous system, unhealed trauma’s impact on our physical health, and his approach to healing the whole human being; starting with addressing the physical symptoms that oftentimes have mental and emotional roots. We discuss the value in simplifying your supplement list, embracing bio-individuality, and reevaluating your wellness routine regularly. 

Dr. Will highlights common toxins and foods to avoid for reducing inflammation in the gut, the benefits and blind spots when using lab tests to help regulate hormones and signal mold in the body, and why inflammation is the root cause of autoimmune diseases.

Dr. Will explains why not everyone needs to completely give up gluten, using fasting as a way to reset the microbiome, supplements and herbs that can support a thriving gut and microbiome, and the very real negative effects of non-native EMF and blue light on sleep. Let's take a journey with Dr. Will Cole on episode 464 of the Life Stylist Podcast and don’t forget to snag a copy of his new book at lukestory.com/gutfeelings.
