Testimonials

I started Dr. Cole’s protocol on December 27 and 5 months later I can’t believe my results: Before: 302 lbs. After: 210 lbs. Increased energy! Off blood pressure medication! No longer need CPAP machine to sleep! Triglycerides went from 272 to 102! A1C is 5.3!

You could try Dr. Will Cole’s method and find out what ACTUALLY doesn’t work for you. Through his methods I learned to pinpoint what my body loves and what it hates, which in turn has allowed me to live freely and successfully every moment of every day, without the dogma and stress.

I have been ill for a long time with low energy, fogginess, mood and pain issues. I went to several doctors along the way and they couldn’t find what was wrong with me, trying to guess and giving me medicines that didn’t work and were not addressing the problem. It was so devastating for me and my family. I felt I was fading away, my health was getting worse, and felt like I was in a black hole. Since I started Dr. Will Cole’s protocol I have noticed improvement. Dr. Cole is a very humble guy and he takes his time to find what is the root cause of your problem. Finding Dr. Cole has made a difference in my life. His entire staff is really great and caring. I am very lucky to have Mrs. Emily and Mrs. Megan as part of my team care, they are really nice and caring with me, they keep in contact with me with any answers I need.

Once I reached the age of 50 I steadily felt the decline of my health, but still endured a healthy lifestyle. I knew something wasn’t quite right, and I had been to several medical doctors to try and get some answers. Unfortunately, I had very little success in finding out why I was feeling the way I did, after all I looked healthy! Frustrated knowing I was too young to feel the way I did, I had not given up my quest to find someone who could help me. I happened to find a book that caught my eye, The Inflammation Spectrum by Dr. Cole. The book made so much sense and related to what I was going through, so I decided I would contact Dr. Cole. That’s when I emailed Dr. Cole and his team. They have been a true miracle in my journey back to optimal health. Since meeting with them they have done an extensive workup on me that allowed them to find the root causes of my health concerns and develop a customized plan that is getting my health back on track. My program required significant dietary discipline which I have embraced and has allowed me to reap the results. Thanks to Dr. Cole and his team, I am excited to be making progress, getting my energy back, and getting back to my “normal” self again.

The last couple of years, I suffered from severe fatigue, brain fog, emotional instability, and other symptoms that made it nearly impossible to cope with my responsibilities as a wife and a mother of five children. It got so bad that I was always tired (even in the mornings) and stressed out, often had zero motivation, and was slowly gaining weight I couldn’t lose. When I skipped my morning coffee, I could count on a headache that day, and I frequently had stomach pains.

After only four months with Dr. Cole’s program, I have energy and a drive for life that I haven’t had in years. My weight is down to what it was before I got married, and I’m enjoying a stable mindset for the most part. I still get tired some afternoons, but I feel rested after sleeping, and often wake up mornings without an alarm. My stomach pains, headaches, and brain fog have disappeared, my mind is much clearer, and I am enjoying life with my family again.

I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Dr Cole and his team. My experience with them has been nothing but positive. Their process for establishing a care plan and their prompt and knowledgeable email support is top-notch.

I had become accustomed to living cold, achy, digestively challenged, emotionally depleted and just plain exhausted before I met Dr. Cole. I remember coming home and crying after I met Dr.Cole, because I felt heard for the first time and I felt safe knowing that there was a plan to change all that I was feeling and going through. I never once thought I couldn’t do it, because I knew I had a team with knowledge and heart to guide me all of the way. My family and I thank Dr. Cole and his team for gifting us with my renewed health. It is a blessing to be able to enjoy my life with my family and I am grateful to share my experience with others in the hopes that they too will enjoy the everyday beauty in their lives.

I had been struggling with health issues for over 21 years, going from one treatment to the next without any results. I was reluctant to give up because I knew that one day I would find a cure. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Will and his team. This is the first time in my life where we have identified the root cause of my issues and treated them. I’ve found healing and freedom. After going to over a hundred doctors in my life, I have to say Dr. Will has been the best and most knowledgeable doctor I have worked with and would recommend him to anyone.

I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 2006. I had been eating a gluten-free, healthy diet and yet still struggled with gut issues, brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, joint pain, and weight gain. Being a registered nurse, I knew I did not want to just mask these symptoms with medication, but wanted to get to their root cause! After much prayer and research, God led me to Dr. Cole and his team. I am SO thankful!! I haven’t felt this good in years and as a bonus, those stubborn pounds fell off as my body’s inflammation subsided! I am enjoying life to the fullest again…especially chasing my sweet, little grandsons!

Before working with Dr. Cole, I was incredibly frustrated; I was doing everything I could to live a health conscious lifestyle, but still felt exhausted, stuck, and unable to get clear answers or advice from any doctors. Immediately upon meeting Dr. Cole, I could tell that he was actually listening to my concerns. He’s been able to help me understand so much more about my body and the food I use to fuel it. This program has empowered me to take control of my health, also giving back the energy I had at some point lost. I am so grateful to Dr. Cole and his office for giving me the tools to take control of my health in a natural and sustainable way.

I am 4 months into my health journey with Dr. Cole and have to say I never felt that good before. Dr. Cole is a functional medicine practitioner who works with all his heart and profound knowledge. I was suffering for years of severe heartburn and could never get rid of extra-weight that stuck to me like glue no matter what I tried. Today I am 12 pounds leaner and fit easily in any jeans. I have plenty of energy and sleep better. I know it is his advice about precise nutrition and tailor-made supplements that reset my metabolism. I am so grateful to him and his dedicated team for their ongoing support. They all rock!

I have been seeing Dr. Cole since last year and my health has significantly changed. I went from not knowing how to improve my thyroid condition, low energy, and brain fog to feeling better than I felt before having my son. Through this journey I discovered that we do have the power to change our health, we just need to have the right guidance and support.

Before coming to see Dr. Cole I had pain in my left leg every day. Some nights I would wake up in the middle of the night in a lot of pain and could not go back to sleep. Since being on Dr. Cole’s plan for me, I don’t have any pain at all in my left leg and I can go all night without pain. I also don’t have to wear leg braces anymore and am gaining weight which was one of my goals.

My immune system has had some issues since I was young. No one could figure it out but doctors told my mom to pull me out of school because I was too weak to be around other kids (and my ENTIRE third grade year I was on antibiotics for chronic sinus infections). If only I had known then how detrimental they would be to my health (especially my gut).

I did ok for awhile but in my early 20’s I developed an inflammatory disease in my bladder called interstitial cystitis. I also have endometriosis and IBS. These things have led to 16 years of severe chronic pelvic pain. In 2012 I gave birth to my third baby and shattered my tailbone which caused further trauma to my pelvic floor muscles (aka CONSTANT spasms).

I’ve got somewhat of a handle on these things (able to cope with the help of nerve blocks and oxycodone) but then a couple years ago I started getting fevers, flu symptoms, and joint aches every few weeks. I couldn’t figure it out. I had been to many doctors and finally this past year, a new doctor ran some tests and diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My white blood count is low and I’m low on vitamin D and B12. Needless to say it has been a rough year.

I have been incredibly tired. Many days I haven’t been able to get out of bed. I have developed severe anxiety and panic attacks. My gut constantly hurt (spasms and sharp pain especially after a BM). I was at my wit’s end when I started looking into functional medicine. I was having trouble finding one to go see locally when I started following Dr. Cole on FB, which led me to exploring Ketotarian.

I was thinking of trying it anyway when he posted about joining his 28-day challenge. I decided to jump right in. I have often wondered if food was a culprit in at least one of my issues. Here are my results so far: my energy has drastically improved. I wake up ready to go, amazing since the last several months I have slept until 8-8:30 and it was hard to get out of bed. My GI problems are about 90% resolved. My brain fog is much better and my chronic sinus congestion and pain has gotten much better. I am still getting fevers every few days from the CFS (probably because I’ve been feeling more energetic and pushing myself a little too hard) and I still have my ‘normal pain’ (which after 16 years I do not expect to go away….) but the GI issues and the energy are enough to make me a FIRM believer that this is the way I should be eating.

I am really happy so far and also really thankful I finally found an answer to at least some of my problems. I am a stay at home mom of 3. And I finally feel like there is hope for me to be a fun mom instead of just a sick mom. It hasn’t been a super easy transition (I love all food) cutting out things but I know now it has been worth it.

My wife and I both have autoimmune issues – my wife’s being more serious than mine. She was diagnosed with Neurosarcoidosis in 2016. I had been researching alternative/functional medicine for years knowing the endless prescriptions she was being prescribed was not the answer. I was constantly attempting to talk my wife into going to a Functional Medicine practitioner, but she was a skeptic. Finally, the last straw for her was being placed on Humira (injections) and being told if this did not work there was one other treatment – once a week intravenous medication. She at this point, said let’s try the naturopathic way.

After a great deal of research, we decided to go see Dr. Cole. We immediately felt a sense of caring, compassion, and empathy from Dr. Cole and his staff. They wanted to get to the underlying cause of our issues rather than cover it up using prescription medications. My wife and I both chose to participate in Dr. Cole’s program [Nov 2017], which is something I would highly recommend. It is much easier and more beneficial for partners to go through this journey together. The health improvements (physical and mental) benefit you both as individuals and as a couple.

We have been working with Dr. Cole and his staff for 14 months including: initial baseline testing, office, and skype visits, online informative video courses, weekly recipes they provide, and answering our endless questions. My suggestion is to always ask them questions about everything.

We have changed our lives dramatically for the better and Dr. Cole and his staff have been there every step of the way. We have a new sense of what healthy is from the food we put in our bodies to the products we put on it. The Medical Doctors (specialists) we see have all noted the tremendous changes in us and have either taken us off prescribed medications or reduced the dosage.

So, the adage ‘you can pay me now or pay me later’ holds true. You can either have a tremendous mentor/teacher instruct you on what your body needs now and feel better for the rest of your life, or you can keep taking those prescribed medicines bankrupting yourself (physically and financially) and the United States Healthcare System.

I have practiced holistic medicine all my life but felt that I was missing something in my journey to my overall well-being. Then, I was referred to Dr. Cole. With his in depth medical analysis, I was able to follow a protocol that began to address issues my body was struggling with. I began to notice overall changes in my energy, sleeping, and improved bloating. I just felt healthier. My whole experience with Dr. Cole and his staff has been a health changer and I am eating healthier, too.

Despite years of devotion to wellness, mindfulness practice, and eating what society deemed a meticulous diet, I found myself on my knees, physically and emotionally exasperated when salvation appeared in the form of Dr. Cole. In my early 40s my formerly pristine skin presented with painful rosacea, my hormones and digestion went haywire, and a multitude of autoimmune symptoms besieged my very confused body. I consider myself a pretty savvy girl, who knows how to take care of herself, so I hit every medical specialist under the sun, read all about my my numerous symptoms on the internet, and launched a rigorous plan to heal myself. I assumed discipline and logic would be enough to reclaim wellness. You will not be surprised to hear that my strict plan blew up in my face, literally. I was given numerous prescriptions which accomplished two things, exacerbating my present symptoms or creating new problems. I was bewildered, depressed, and angry, I felt excluded from the wellness community, which I idolized. Every cleanse and diet that had gained widespread success failed to alleviate my disease. The loneliness was unbearable. My quality of life was decreasing on a daily basis, and the I foresaw a future of declining health and happiness. Alas, I found myself in my initial consultation with Dr. Cole, where he asked me what I needed from him. I responded by saying “I need you to find the missing link, the needle in the haystack. I know I can heal, I just don’t know how.” He clearly explained the science behind my suffering, and gave me the answers to my endless questions in lab reports. I had met my match, as this doctor HEARD my pain and most importantly offered me a clear path out. He did what I feared was impossible and found the needle. Dr. Cole and his team met me where I was on my wellness journey by offering support, encouragement, and redirection when necessary. My diet and healing protocol is designed for the optimal health and wellness of my body. Dr. Cole inspired me to invite grace and trust into my healing, and the results have far exceeded my hopes. I never imagined I could feel this good! It should be noted that my skin is healthy and glowing, as is my spirit! I am so proud to be a patient and look forward to the next part of my journey with this wonder team.

I discovered functional medicine during my quest to find answers for my health problems after struggling for two years with severe health issues. 7 years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus and was taking medicine to manage my flare ups. Instead of getting better, I got worse as new health issues appeared. I started to have panic attacks, anxiety, developed high cholesterol, and was pre-dietetic. I had a number of visits to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack and that’s when I realized I couldn’t put my family through all of this any longer. Dr. Cole not only helped me manage my condition but I am now symptom-free. Dr Cole and his staff are positive, caring, and very thorough. He helped me to see the difference between managing your sickness and finding the root of your problems. Functional Medicine is the way to go if you are serious about getting better.

I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (Ulcerative Colitis) that I battled along with a myriad of systemic symptoms that came along with it for 6+ years. I had pretty much resolved myself to the fact that feeling sick and extremely exhausted was going to be a way of life forever. That is, until I came across Dr. Cole. Dr. Cole and his team of health coaches are extremely knowledgeable and make the scientific side of healing the microbiome and digestive diseases through utilizing food as medicine simple, easy to follow and sustainable for the long-term. In a few short months, I truly feel like a new person – I finally feel healthy again and have great energy throughout each day. I can’t thank Dr. Cole enough for giving me my life back!

I started seeing Dr. Cole feeling like I had been slowly dying for 2 years. I had a horrible reaction to a particularly nasty broad spectrum antibiotic that took took me from an active country life to no life at all. I lived with intense constant tendon/muscle pain, neuropathy, and gut issues, etc. that made it impossible to enjoy life at all for 2 years. I could not eat, too weak to cook, I could barely walk, and was so weak I had to have help getting up from a chair or bed. I tried MD, specialists, alternative MD, and naturopath just to find an increase in the gut issues and the pain. Life had no quality at all and I had no hope.

A friend kept telling me go functional medicine and I finally found Dr. Cole in my area.
Dr. Cole started me out, after going over intake forms and all past test results, with an elimination diet geared to my issues and then added a few supplements. The required test results weeks later allowed Dr. Cole to fine tune diagnosis and the path to healing through medicinal food and supplements.

With the help of Dr. Cole and his staff, within two months I could tell I was gaining a little strength and pain was easing back. While I’m not where I want to be yet, it’s been 4 months, and I have improved quality of life and hope to keep improving. I conclude that testing and the right foods and supplements are key for me and that took testing and experienced functional medicine doctor to guide me. Dr. Cole is that doctor!

Dr. Cole is the first medical practitioner that actually “gets” what I’m going through. Conventional doctors essentially wanted and did just medicate me for my ongoing battles with pain and stiffness. My journey to recovery has been as much about education as it has been about practice. I have learned an awful lot about the importance of food as fuel and also the importance of having the right food for me specifically for overall health. Also, Dr. Cole’s team has been vital through support – answering a myriad of questions and helping and encouraging me to keep my eye on the long term for true recovery. I am very thankful that I have them to depend on in this life changing journey to better health.

Before meeting Dr. Cole and his wonderful team, I was headed down a devastating path of deteriorating health. At 42, I had Hashimoto’s disease, was on two blood pressure medicines, cholesterol medicine, creams for rosacea, and was headed towards diabetes. I also had constant stomach issues. I was significantly overweight, and although I had tried so many times in the past, no diet would get me the results I needed to improve my health. The last straw came on April 26, 2018, when I developed Alopecia and within weeks lost all the hair on my scalp, my eyelashes and eyebrows. After visiting my PCP and dermatologist, it was clear that the only solution they had was a lifetime of steroids, and very little hope that I’d ever see hair again. I knew there had to be a better way, and that’s when I found Dr. Cole online. After our first meeting in June, I knew I was in the right place and I felt hopeful that I could heal my body with the help of Dr. Cole and his amazing team. Under their guidance, I have lost more than 50 pounds and no longer have stomach issues. I am off one blood pressure med, my rosacea is non-existent on most days, my fasting blood sugars and A1C are normal and (what I think is best of all) my hair is coming back…very slow, very white and very baby-fine, but it is coming back!! All these amazing transformations have happened in only five months. Now, instead of dreading a future of worsened health, I am looking forward to what improvements the next five months can bring. I cannot recommend Dr. Cole and his team enough. They are truly the most compassionate, intelligent and dedicated people I have ever met. I am grateful everyday for the blessings they have brought into my life.
