Every month, I sit down with my team to answer your biggest wellness questions - and this one covers a lot of ground. In this episode, we share our annual wellness gift guide with the products we genuinely use and love, from red-light masks and non-toxic fragrances to stocking stuffers that support real-food families.
I also open up about my recent panel at Eudemonia, where I sat across from a prominent public-health critic of functional medicine. These conversations can easily turn combative online, but face-to-face, there’s always more nuance. I share what really happened, where we agreed, where we didn’t, and why I believe the future of health requires transparency, curiosity, and the willingness to rethink long-standing systems.
We also discuss the chronic-disease epidemic in America, the role of ultra-processed foods, and the changes being proposed to close regulatory loopholes, reform SNAP, and finally modernize our dietary guidelines.
If you’re passionate about the future of nutrition, public health, and metabolic wellness, this episode gives you a rare look behind the curtain.
A few of my favorite things we cover in this episode:
- The holiday wellness gift guide - Dr. Cole and the team’s top picks for fitness lovers, beauty lovers, parents, and biohackers
