The Art of Being Well

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.

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. They explore how early experiences shape the nervous system, why stress can feel familiar, and how modern life and social media can reinforce dysregulation. Nicole breaks down ACE scores, attunement, and why trauma is less about the event and more about the body’s ability to process what happened with support. They also discuss body-based healing tools, including grounding, breathwork, EMDR (and simple forms of bilateral stimulation), and why rest can feel unsafe for many people.
