Testimonials

I began suffering from gastrointestinal problems at a young age. Throughout the years I went to multiple providers only to be told either there was nothing to be done and I would have to learn to live with it or was given medications to treat the symptoms. As symptoms continued to progress, they were debilitating at times and I began to feel frustrated and lose faith in conventional medicine as I knew there had to be another way. I view myself as a rather healthy person—eating healthy foods and exercising regularly but a huge part was missing. I knew in order to heal the root cause had to be identified at which time I began searching for functional medicine practitioners. Dr. Cole changed my life. Even though I have only been a client for a short period of time, I have experienced a positive change and have a new outlook on my health and lifestyle. Dr. Cole listens attentively to your symptoms and concerns and provides individual care and programs as he knows that we are each unique and a one size fits all treatment is not effective. I finally feel hopeful as I move forward on my health journey. Without Dr. Cole and his staff I do not feel that would have been possible. All the staff are amazing and truly care about you as a person and not seen as just a number.

Before working with Dr. Cole, I was suffering horribly with ITP and Hashimoto’s Disease. I had chronic fatigue, leaky gut and so much more. It has been 8 months, and I feel like a new person. He saved me!  I don’t know what I would do without him and his amazing team. Thank you, Dr. Cole!

When I first visited Dr. Cole, I was in a place where I had recently been diagnosed with an auto-immune condition that was worsening and was negatively impacting my energy and overall quality of life. I had reached the end of what my other physicians (Natural Medicine Doctor, PCP and Endocrinologist) would recommend without more extreme medical intervention being the next step (e.g. surgery – thyroid removal or radioactive iodine). I wasn’t clear on what to do, but surgery seemed like a very drastic next step to me and I wanted to try something else first. I prayed about this conundrum and shortly after I fortuitously stumbled upon an article by Dr. Cole and his approach made perfect sense to me and was exactly what I wanted to try next. When I met him, I was impressed with his knowledge, passion and kindness.

We followed my data to learn more about what was going on physiologically. They provided lots and lots of information and videos to set patients up for success in following the recommended new routine. Throughout the process, his team helps coach on what to do with practical guidance, goals, and built-in accountability and support. It’s a very pro-patient approach to efficiently succeed at significant lifestyle changes. There is no denying, it’s also challenging with a lot of work and commitment required, but it gets easier over time as the new habits are better established.

This is a journey toward optimal health, but so far along the path, after 5 months, I’ve added many new healthy habits, lost weight, and my TSH, in particular, didn’t just improve, but it reached the ‘optimal’ values, which I was told by other doctors was impossible without more extreme interventions. So, that alone is a huge blessing to me!

Significant healthy living transformations are difficult to do alone, so I’m glad I improved my chances of success by seeking guidance and support through Dr. Cole and his team! I highly recommend their approach!

Dr. Cole and his team helped improve my gut health with an incredible diet plan and supplements that were customized to my blood work. I love that he doesn’t use a one size fits all approach. My energy and iron levels significantly improved, and my hair and skin are the best they’ve ever been in my life.Thank you Dr Cole!

After being diagnosed with RRMS, I started the Wahls’ Protocol in an attempt to control my symptoms of fatigue and tenacious migraine headaches. The protocol helped greatly, but I felt more healing was possible, so I began seeing Dr. Will Cole. Under his guidance, the inflammation in my body is at an all-time low, my fatigue is a thing of the past, and I feel I’ve made a good start on the healing journey for my gut (which was in terrible shape, I found out!) I’m sure I would not have made as much progress on my own, or as quickly, as I have with Dr. Cole and his wonderful staff. As a side note, I am now 110 pounds lighter, and my blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides are all well within the normal range. I am 9 months without a migraine, and I’m feeling better than I have in decades.

I would like to thank Dr. Cole for helping me to feel better. I first went to see Dr. Cole because I was always tired and swollen. Who knew it was what I was eating. Dr. Cole helped me change my eating habits. I found out that what I thought was healthy was actually not right for me. I am now sleeping better, I don’t fall asleep when I get home from work, and my ankles are no longer swollen. I am off a lot of my medications which is great. One of the side effects of this has been weight loss – 43 pounds! More importantly, Dr. Cole insists spouses are on board. My husband has joined me on the journey and he is no longer having to take 4 shots of insulin a day. What can I say, but thank you.

It was after being diagnosed with Grave’s disease in the Spring of 2017 that I began to seriously look for an alternative approach to feeling well that did not involve prescription medications or surgery. Quite by chance, I attended a seminar given by Dr. Cole, and thus began my current wellness journey. This is all totally new territory for me, and at times it has not been easy, but Dr. Cole and his staff have been there every step of the way providing encouragement and support. I am 6 months into this journey and am finding the “me” that I lost somewhere along the way. I feel better than I have in a long time. I have more energy, I am sleeping better, I am off mostly all  medications that I was taking, and I have lost a great deal of weight. With an open mind, and by taking it one step at a time and one day at a time, I am well on my way to a healthier and happier life. I still make mistakes and slip every now and then, but I know now, that this is okay and that I am not perfect. My journey is nowhere near complete, and I have a long way to go, but thanks to Dr. Cole and his staff, and with their continued support, I know that it is possible to achieve my ultimate goal of health and wellness.

I have been overweight and suffered from chronic constipation since my early teens, at 37 I was diagnosed with type II diabetes and was constantly fatigued. As the traditional medicines were not controlling my diabetes, it was suggested that I go on insulin. This was the turning point for me. I knew I did not want to give myself injections for the rest of my life, that is when I decided to reach out to Dr. Cole. Through his care and the support of his amazing staff I am re-teaching myself how to eat for optimal health, and it is working! In the few short months I have been under Dr. Cole’s care I have seen a decrease in what I thought I would just have to deal with the rest of my life. Truly thankful for all of your help.

Before I met Dr. Cole, I was on strong stomach medication for three years for my GERD. I began to feel helpless and didn’t know where to turn. Dr. Cole helped me to put my health and my life back into my own hands. By following his dietary protocol, I have been able to cut my medication in half within just a few months. Now that I’m on the road to recovery, I feel healthier and happier. Dr. Cole and his team are always just a phone call or email away, and I can always feel their support!

Before functional medicine I was lost, my life determined by how sick I was that day. I would get dizziness, nausea, weakness, and other symptoms that attacked me at random and slow me down, I couldn’t live my life. I would see other doctors, cardiologists, therapists etc, in hopes they could find out what was wrong with me. Over a span of 10 years of being sick I was pretty much done wanting to give up and just accept the fact I would never be a normal healthy person. With Dr. Cole I have lost close to 20 pounds and now I have more confidence than ever and don’t feel sick all the time.

I began going to Dr. Cole at the end of December 2013 because I was concerned about the effect Diabetes and High Blood Pressure were having on my health. Since beginning Dr. Cole’s program, my A1C has gone from 9.0 on medication to 5.9 without medication; I have lost weight and have been able to stop taking prescription drugs for Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Cholesterol. I have gained complete peace of mind that if I continue with what I have learned through this program that I will have a lot more years to enjoy all life has to offer.

We decided to go to Dr. Cole when Ron found out he was diabetic and on insulin, and I had asthma that was not controlled. Dr. Cole found some other issues we were having. So with the proper food I am no longer using my inhaler and we are working on my thyroid. Ron is also off most of his meds. Also, we did lose weight.

I have been under Dr. Cole’s care for a year now and I am in such a better place with my health and my understanding of what foods work and don’t work for my body. When I started working with Dr. Cole, I had very bad digestive issues, acid reflux, and bloating and gas with many different foods I ate. When we did the initial testing at the beginning of the year, we found much more going on internally than just the obvious thyroid condition I already knew I had. Dr. Cole and his team worked closely with me to educate me on the different food choices I needed to make and helped guide me through it, as it was not easy to change my eating habits. Within a few months of being on his plan, I was able to see the changes in my body and my weight and it encouraged me to stick to it. This is not an easy process and there were many times where I questioned what I was doing and if I should keep going. Now looking back after a whole year on the program, I no longer have acid reflux, gas or bloating and I know what foods are my triggers so I can avoid them or quickly regroup if I eat them. The whole process has taught me that this is a life long journey and not an overnight fix. With the results I have experienced so far, in just 12 months, it is definitely worth it.

I have been a patient of Dr. Coles since April, 2014. When I started his program I was on 12 medicines and my diabetes was getting out of control. I was on the verge of having to start insulin shots. With just a few months on Dr. Coles program, I am already off two diabetic medications and have lost 43 pounds! I have more energy and I am also sleeping better at night. In the next few months on the program I am set to eliminate more medications and shed more pounds!

Before meeting Dr. Cole, my doctors wanted me to have gastric bypass and to be put on insulin. I wasn’t going to do it! Even on all my medication my blood sugar was high and my A1C was 8.2! Now, on Dr. Cole’s program my A1C is 5.7, my blood sugar is normal, and I am off my blood sugar medications. I lost over 60 pounds and I feel great! I am diabetes free!

My adventure with Dr. Cole began after attending one of his presentations. I was 71 at the time. My goes, expressed at our first appointment, were to drop a number of expensive prescriptions and lose some weight. I began following a series of food consumption protocols (some seemed strange) but Dr. Cole guided and encouraged me throughout. After about 10 months, I’ve had the following results: Weight 175 down from 225; Waist 33’’ down from 38’’; 3 prescriptions dropped; insulin down from 30 units daily to 10 units only occasionally. I feel better than I have in years and am a very happy camper.

My healing journey began about a year and half ago. I was overwhelmed and confused about how to take control of my health needs until I met Dr. Cole. Then he and his staff gave me straight-forward advice, plans, and support whenever I needed it. Not only has my health improved, but my perspective on life has changed also.

In November 2015 I was on two types of insulin, one of these medications caused my body to retain fluids, and for a lack of better words, to thicken up. The clothes that I had worn just a month before did not fit. My legs had swollen up and they were seeping fluid, causing the front of my pants legs to become wet. I had to place bandages on them to control the seepage. My wife noticed a program that Dr. Will Cole was presenting on leaky gut syndrome. At first I wasn’t sure that I wanted to attend this lecture but we attended it in December 2015. After listening to Dr. Cole’s presentation I knew that this was something that we had to proceed with. It was one of the best decisions that I have made other than marrying my wife, Valerie. My blood, stool and saliva, specimens were sent to the lab. I learned that I truly have a leaky gut problem. I was allergic to gluten, and had a candida yeast infection. I had low iron and vitamin D deficiency. Since January 2016, following the protocol that Dr. Cole laid out I can say in all honesty I have not felt this good in a long time. I was informed by my endocrinologist that I no longer have to take insulin, and my cardiologist said I could reduce my blood pressure medication. I am now down to one pill a day. My blood pressure is down as well. Since January 2016, I’m down 48 pounds. This is not a diet but a lifestyle change and one that I can say is for the better. My health is better than it has been in a long time. I have more energy and feel good about life in general. I feel good about me.

A few years ago after a lifetime of taking good, health conscious care of myself, I started having digestive issues. I spent years doing the rounds of numerous GI specialists (all diagnosing me differently and treating me differently), dieticians, nutritional experts, as well as trying alternative practices such as hypnotherapy and acupuncture. No treatment gave me any sustainable relief. I was dependent upon medication without which daily life was almost intolerable. Deciding to consult with Dr. Cole turned out to be the best decision ever. Since starting treatment with Dr. Cole my general health, ability and approach to my daily activities has improved dramatically. In less than 3 months I was off the medication I was so dependent upon, my energy levels have improved greatly and I feel normal again. I highly recommend Dr. Cole as he is truly the only practitioner who has made a substantial and lasting difference for me. He also is a really nice guy who is thoughtful, professional, responsive and compassionate.

Before finding Dr. Will I was aimlessly doing everything I could to feel better, but nothing seemed to help. I spent ten years getting brushed off by conventional medicine doctors only to see my health dramatically decline.

After finally convincing my doctor to run some tests, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease. They prescribed medication and sent me on my way but I knew there was more to the story and conventional medicine doctors were not willing to explore it. Frustrated and exhausted, I refused to accept this as an answer, found Dr. Will and my life changed! He not only listened to me but he heard what I was saying and most importantly he had solutions.

His extensive lab work revealed I not only have Hashimoto’s Disease, but I also have Epstein Barr Virus, Chronic Fatigue, Adrenal Fatigue- Stage 5, IBS (possibly Leaky Gut), food sensitivities and harmful toxins. Overwhelmed by it all, Dr. Will thoroughly explained what it all meant and created a protocol based on my specific needs.

Dr. Will takes a whole body approach to problem-solving your health challenges and creating a treatment plan which, in my opinion, is imperative when it comes to finding the right doctor. Dr. Will and his team provide incredible support, taking the guesswork out of the equation. Their knowledge is scientific and current. Their strategy is smart, realistic and manageable while setting patients up for life long success.

Some of the greatest gifts I’m learning from Dr. Will and his team is that “healing is possible” and that our bodies are not against us, but fighting for us every second of every day. Most importantly, I’ve learned “you can’t go at it alone!” You can’t waste your time trying everything that “claims” it will make you feel better! You can’t waste your time running from one specialist to another trying to spot-treat your health, and you can’t waste your time feeling sick anymore! Healing isn’t just about eating the right foods, it’s truly about the mind, body, and spirit. Once you own it and work with Dr. Will miracles can happen.

Until I attended one of Dr. Cole’s workshops, I felt as though I was doomed. I was taking insulin before every meal, with no end in sight. I truly believed there were alternatives to medications and Dr. Cole proved it to me. After 5 months, I am insulin free and 50 pounds lighter! I recommend this to anyone who is serious about their health. I feel like a new person.
