The Art of Being Well

Holistic Vision Coach Claudia Muehlenweg joins Dr. Will Cole to discuss why eyesight declines and what may help support healthier vision habits. Claudia shares her story of getting glasses at age three, becoming glasses-free as a teen, and later retraining her vision again during a high-stress season. They unpack the role of chronic stress, nervous system tension, and “tunnel vision,” plus how screens impact blinking, dry eyes, and near-point strain. Claudia also shares practical tools like palming, visual breaks, and building better “visual hygiene,” along with insights on light sensitivity, night vision, and nutrition.

Acid reflux isn’t always caused by “too much acid” - in many cases, it’s driven by low stomach acid, poor digestion, and gut dysbiosis. In this episode, Dr. Will Cole sits down with Dr. Daryl Gioffre to break down the real root causes behind reflux, bloating, sinus issues, and throat symptoms that often get mislabeled. They also discuss why common reflux medications aren’t intended for long-term use, and what the research suggests about chronic suppression of stomach acid. Plus, Dr. Gioffre shares his personal story of hidden mold exposure and the gut-brain impact that followed.

Dr. Nicole LePera joins Dr. Will Cole for an in-person conversation on trauma, attachment, and what it actually means to “reparent” the inner child.
