Exactly How To Keep Your Mind + Body Healthy Throughout The Holidays
The holidays are a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness. However, it can also be filled with indulgence, stress, and disrupted routines, which can take a toll on your mind and body. But instead of resigning yourself to feeling crappy all season long, it’s time to reclaim your mental and physical health so you can enjoy all that the holidays have to offer.

Your body is a brilliant masterpiece. Every system works together to influence your health - for better or worse - physically and emotionally. On one end stress can cause gut inflammation that sabotages your health in a process known as Shameflammation and on the other end, problems with your gut can present themselves in the form of mood swings, anxiety and food cravings.
During the holidays not only are you bombarded with stress, you are also more likely to be surrounded by foods that aren’t the most gut-friendly, leaving you feeling moody, bloated, and just plain lousy. While you can do your fair share of things to mitigate the mental and physical stressors of the holidays, I also understand that sometimes you need a little extra support.
That’s why I went ahead and put together my newest supplement bundle, gut / feelings. Harnessing the healing benefits of some of the earth’s finest ingredients mentioned in my book Gut Feelings, the two supplements in this bundle - Gut and Feelings - are specifically designed to support healthy gut function and mood balance. Here’s exactly how gut / feelings can help improve your peace of mind, emotional wellbeing, and overall health over the next couple of months.

Dr. Will Cole's Personal Picks
To Elevate Your Wellness
1. It can soothe an irritated gut
With an abundance of delicious foods, sweets, and alcohol during this time of year, I understand that you might want to indulge a couple times and that exposure to food irritants can also happen. By giving your gut what it needs to thrive, you can make sure you aren’t held back from the holiday festivities due to digestive distress.
Gut features a blend of targeted ingredients including, licorice, aloe vera, zinc, marshmallow root, slippery elm, quercetin, mucin, chamomile, and more, that work synergistically to protect your gut from the damaging effects of stress, bacteria, and other irritants.
2. It can boost your immunity
Did you know that close to 80% of your body’s immune system is located in your gut? By making gut health a top priority, the nutrients in Gut can strengthen your immunity so that you can stay healthy during cold and flu season - which just so happens to overlap with the holidays.
3. It can ease anxiety and stress
Packed calendars, crowded stores, and troublesome family members can result in us feeling like a scattered, anxious wreck. And while it can be tempting to cancel all your plans and shut yourself away, there is another option. For those times that you aren’t able to practice JOMO, Feelings can help. Featuring a blend of magnesium, B vitamins, L-theanine, GABA, vitamin C, 5-HTP, and L-Taurine, this ultimate brain health team can help elevate your mood and keep you feeling cool, calm, and collected all day long.
4. It fuels your gut-brain axis
Your gut and brain are inextricably linked together with each one affecting the other on a deep level. For example, 95% of your “happy” neurotransmitter serotonin is made and stored in your gut and the same proteins that govern the permeability of your gut also control the permeability of your blood-brain barrier.
This is why when your gut health is compromised due to inflammation, leaky gut syndrome, or bacterial dysbiosis, you can start to experience symptoms like anxiety, brain fog, and depression and vice versa.
gut / feelings offers targeted support for both ends of your gut-brain axis (also commonly referred to as your mind-body connection) the fuel they need to function optimally.
