The Art of Being Well

Doyle Bramhall II - guitarist, healer, and longtime collaborator of Eric Clapton - joins Dr. Will Cole for his very first podcast appearance. Doyle shares the story of growing up immersed in the Austin music scene, the dark side of the flower power era, and the decades-long personal journey through plant medicine, breathwork, Reiki, and energy work that led to the healing practice he now facilitates. They cover the science of DMT (including why gorillas beat their chests), the dangers of plant medicine without proper integration, the mycelia-internet connection, and intergenerational trauma stored in the body's cells. Dr. Cole also shares what happened during his own three-hour session with Doyle - a psychedelic-level experience with no plant medicine. Plus: how Doyle met Eric Clapton over a cold call from Japan and a Starbucks in Venice. For all links mentioned in this episode, visit www.drwillcole.com/podcast.

UFC World Champion Miesha Tate joins Dr. Will Cole for one of the most honest conversations about an athlete's relationship with food, hormones, and identity ever recorded on this show. Miesha shares her journey from a broke college kid fighting in a barn to winning a world title — and what it cost her: eating disorders, yo-yo dieting for 14 years, a hypothyroidism diagnosis at 19, losing her period after dropping to 125 pounds post-kids, and the moment after retiring that brought her to a breaking point. She also shares what actually healed her — spiritually, relationally, and physically — and why she's now on a mission to close the gender gap in hormonal research, starting with the luteal phase.

In this Ask Me Anything episode, Dr. Will Cole and his team answer three listener questions that go deeper than most: BPC-157 for osteopenia at 35 and the full food-first bone density protocol, what to do when you live within a mile of a golf course and have Hashimoto's while pregnant, and ovarian cysts with a doctor who only offers birth control. They also cover the PCOS-to-PMOS name change — what it means clinically, why functional medicine has known about the metabolic component for years, and whether the timing of the rebrand is a little too convenient given the GLP-1 explosion.

Sisley Fraser - holistic nutritionist, and one of the leading voices in functional skin health - joins Dr. Will Cole for a comprehensive, root-cause conversation on what acne is actually communicating and what to do about it. They cover the gut-skin axis, TCM face mapping, how acne timing in the menstrual cycle points to specific hormonal imbalances, the A1 vs. A2 dairy debate, phytoestrogenic foods as gentle estrogen modulators, xenoestrogens and the toxic bucket, why most people's skincare routines are making their acne worse, and the case for going pro-fruit. Sisley also shares her minimalist skincare protocol - including Manuka honey as a morning mask - and why the conventional "avoid all dairy, restrict everything" approach is creating more problems than it solves.

Illie Balaj - founder of Healthillie and one of the most relatable voices in the wellness space - joins Dr. Will Cole for a conversation that covers everything from the Kellogg's artificial dye protest to two years of navigating an unexplained fertility journey. They talk about the tribal pushback that followed the food dye movement, why the dietary guidelines function more as a lobbying tool than a public health document, the SNAP junk food debate, and how to stay grounded on the biohacking spectrum without going neurotic. Illie also shares her experience with the conventional IVF model, how she found a NAPRO technology doctor who actually looked at her labs, why silent endometriosis may be behind far more fertility struggles than anyone is talking about, and the tools - neurofeedback, adrenal cocktails, homeopathy - that have made this season manageable.
