Dr. Will Cole joins Miesha to break down how gut health drives inflammation, autoimmune disease, hormones, and long-term health. Drawing from years of functional medicine practice, he explains why treating symptoms without addressing root causes keeps people stuck—and how the gut–brain–immune connection impacts mood, energy, and healing.
They explore antibiotics, stress, microbiome imbalance, autoimmune conditions, and why “normal” labs don’t always mean optimal health. If you’re dealing with fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, or chronic symptoms, this episode offers a clearer framework for understanding what your body is really asking for.
