The Art of Being Well

Dr. Will Cole is a leading functional medicine practitioner who has consulted with thousands of patients worldwide, and his podcast brings that clinical perspective to a twice-weekly show with 449 episodes. The Art of Being Well is produced by Dear Media and covers wellness through four lenses: body, spirit, mind, and relationships. The format alternates between guest interviews and "Ask Me Anything" episodes where Cole and his clinical team answer listener questions directly. Recent episodes have tackled gut health and parasites, mold exposure and chronic illness, protein requirements for longevity, collagen and bone density, nervous system regulation, fertility optimization, and autoimmune conditions. Cole draws from his functional medicine practice to explain how symptoms that seem unrelated, like brain fog, joint pain, and digestive issues, often share root causes. What distinguishes this show from more conventional health podcasts is its comfort with topics that mainstream medicine sometimes overlooks. Cole discusses food sensitivities, environmental toxins, and the connection between emotional stress and physical symptoms without dismissing conventional treatment. He blends functional medicine with practical strategies that listeners can implement without needing a specialist. The show holds a 4.6-star rating from about 1,400 Apple reviews, with listeners praising the accessible tone and the range of topics covered. If standard medical advice hasn't fully addressed your health concerns and you want to explore a functional medicine perspective, Cole offers a consistently thoughtful starting point.
