Testimonials

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.

Before I had found Dr Cole and his amazing team my health was poor. I was suffering from terrible acne, anxiety/panic attacks, hormonal imbalances and overall, had very little energy. I saw countless doctors that were not interested in finding and fixing the root of my issues, they just wanted to give me a prescription as a band aid. After working with Dr Cole for the last few months I cannot begin to express what amazing health progress I have made. I finally found a doctor that wanted to find and heal the root of all my health issues. I no longer have the anxiety/panic attacks, my acne is gone and my energy levels are through the roof! I never thought I could feel this good. I am so grateful I found Dr Cole, he has changed my life!

For years I’ve searched for ways to be healthier thinking if I avoided fats, took lots of supplements, ate more tofu or other proteins, drink more gatorade and followed the latest trends whatever they may be, I would be healthy with less joint pain. Ten months ago my yearly checkup revealed high cholesterol, a fatty liver, and joint pain that was causing difficulty walking. I knew I needed a change regarding my health, but didn’t know how. After reading a article by Functional Medicine expert Dr. Will Cole, I was excited to learn that real health could be achieved through diet, education, discipline, and coaching without leaving home for appointments. Nationally respected Dr Cole and his team of health coaching experts have guided me through each step of my most challenging dietary concerns. Dr Cole’s approach toward health is complete and reassuring, helping patients worldwide from the initial evaluation, to diagnosing labs, to recommending specific treatments designed for me with a complete focus toward my understanding of what I can expect along the way. I believe Dr Cole’s approach to health and nutrition is preparing me for the best years to come at age 65.

After more than two years with several serious health concerns including cancer, a thyroid nodule, osteoporosis and debilitating hip pain, I determined that I needed help beyond the expertise of traditional medical practitioners. Using the often-contradicting health information on the internet to self-diagnose and self-treat these health problems left me with more questions than answers. I was so grateful to find Dr. Will Cole and his team to help me determine the root causes of MY health problems through a variety of tests, and then design food and supplement protocols to target these causes.  I am four months into the program, feeling wonderful, 30 pounds lighter, much more physically active, no hip pain, and no known advancement of the cancer and thyroid nodule at this time.

Before Dr Cole, I thought I ate good but Dr. Cole and his team taught me how to eat clean. I did not realize all the toxins, chemicals, and preservatives, that are in our food. I now have a clean diet, and my overall health has greatly benefited. I hope that clean eating will be the ‘normal’ in the future. Thank you Dr Cole and team.

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.

There is no one I trust more with my health or my clients’ health than Dr. Will Cole. His approach is on the cutting edge of science, but what makes Will great is that he truly cares for the wellbeing of his patients.

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.

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.

After completing the program with Dr. Cole I was able to achieve all of this without medication! My A1C is down from 10.5 to 6.1 and my fasting glucose went from over 240 down to under 100. I wish I had known about this program years ago. I now have an indescribable peace of mind knowing that my health has improved greatly. I am thrilled with the results for the diabetes, and a weight loss that seemed impossible to achieve in the past.

I would recommend the treatment from Dr.Cole and his team any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I feel great!!!! I am currently still in treatment and am enjoying every second of it. It has been tough at times, but above all has been a wonderful learning experience. I have found it to be empowering, life changing and tasty!! Dr. Cole and his team have provided constant care and are always on hand to provide support which has been invaluable.

The year prior to my treatment was a low one. I suffered depression, constant brain fog, was tired all the time and was not enjoying life. I have MS and have since discovered through the treatment the underlying causes to many of the problems I faced. 6 months on and still enjoying the wholesome healthy foods, my family and I are enjoying the transformation. I couldn’t be happier!

Dr. Cole and his staff have given me my life back! Before working with Dr. Cole, I could barely get out of bed in the morning, and daily life was exhausting and difficult to manage. Now, I’ve healed myself from the inside out, lost weight, and have a renewed sense of energy and life! Trust the process, do the work, and this will be you too!

I am 68 years old and I was diagnosed with type type 2 diabetes 6 years ago. I was on diabetes medicine and my A1C was at 9. I have been a patient of Dr. Cole for the past six months and my A1C is now between 5.3 to 5.5 (Normal range for non Diabetics) and I no longer take diabetes medicine. I have lost 25 lbs. and feel great. I am determined to follow Dr. Coles advice for the rest of my life and be free from diabetes.
