The Art of Being Well

Jessica Maguire - physiotherapist, nervous system researcher, and founder of Repairing the Nervous System - joins Dr. Will Cole for one of the most scientifically rich conversations the podcast has had on trauma, regulation, and healing. They cover the eight sensory systems, the overlooked science of interoception, why IBS has been reclassified as a gut-brain disorder, the freeze and collapse response, and why breathwork can actually dysregulate people who aren't ready for it. Jessica also shares her personal loss and the research journey it set in motion, and gives practical in-the-moment tools for nervous system repair grounded in neuroplasticity principles.

Emma Heming Willis and Helen Christoni, co-founders of Make Time Wellness, join Dr. Will Cole to talk about a conversation that's long overdue: women's brain health. They cover the striking statistics around women and Alzheimer's risk, what brain fog and memory lapses are really telling us, and why the standard of care has been failing women for decades. From the Mediterranean diet and the 3,000-step rule to sleep hygiene and breathwork, Emma and Helen share the practical pillars of brain health - and the science behind why starting now, not later, is what matters most.

Dr. Joshua Levitt, naturopathic physician and co-founder of UpWellness, joins Dr. Will Cole to set the record straight on one of the body's most powerful - and most misunderstood - organs: the liver. They break down what the liver actually does beyond filtering, why liver enzyme levels on standard bloodwork are often missed as early warning signs, and what genuine liver support looks like versus the "flush" myths circulating online. Dr. Levitt also explains the fascinating connection between liver health and mental health, and shares the specific compounds - from milk thistle to NAC to taurine - that actually move the needle on liver function. Plus, a conversation on alcohol, coffee, digestive bitters, and how the standard American diet is turning us all into force-fed geese.
