Dr. Will Cole specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease and customizing a functional medicine approach for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, and brain problems, and has been named one of the top 50 functional-medicine and integrative doctors in the nation. Dr. Cole is the host of The Art of Being Well, and has co-hosted The Goopfellas Podcast and Keto Talk. He is also the bestselling author of Ketotarian and The Inflammation Spectrum and the upcoming Intuitive Fasting, in which he shows us how to use the powerful benefits of flexible intermittent fasting to gain metabolic flexibility and find food peace.
What you'll learn from this episode:
What is intuitive eating, and how does this translate to intuitive fasting as a healthy regimen for someone who's gained metabolic flexibility?
In spite of its documented therapeutic benefits, why Will doesn't recommend an unending state of ketosis for most people, but a cyclical (and intuitive) incorporation into a lifestyle.
What week one looks like for someone beginning to train their body for intuitive fasting, and why the good habits learned here don't have to kill one's social life over the long term.
The neurological and physical benefits of time-restricted feeding.
What is and isn't "allowed" on an intuitive fasting regimen.
And so much more!
