Uncovering the Real Cost of Processed Foods on Your Health

"How we're doing food wrong today is criminal. We need to follow other countries that have banned artificial dyes and make our food supply safer for our families." - Dr. Will Cole

Dr. Will Cole, a pioneering functional medicine expert, pulls back the curtain on the shocking realities of America's food industry and its impact on our health. Fresh from confronting Kellogg's over harmful artificial food dyes at their headquarters, Will shares why thousands of food additives banned in other countries are still allowed in the US, and how this disproportionately affects our most vulnerable communities. We dive deep into the powerful connection between stress, emotional wellbeing, and gut health, exploring why setting boundaries might be your best medicine. Will also breaks down the truth about metabolic health, protein consumption for healthy aging, and why finding balance in our wellness approach matters more than following extreme protocols.
