Mental health is not separate from physical health, and in the west we like to separate it as relegating it to sort of this abstract, theoretical chemical imbalance.
Have you ever wondered how your gut health might be affecting your mental state? In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Dr. Will Cole, a functional medicine expert, to unravel the fascinating link between our gut and brain. Dr. Cole dives into how inflammation can wreak havoc on both physical and mental health, emphasizing that these two aspects of our well-being are deeply intertwined.
From thyroid issues to autoimmune conditions, he explains how a functional medicine approach can address the root causes of chronic diseases. Throughout their conversation, Paul and Dr. Cole explore a variety of topics, including the impact of trauma on our overall health and the pitfalls of diet culture. They discuss how small, manageable changes can make a big difference in optimizing both physical and mental health. Dr.
Cole also shares practical advice on coping mechanisms for mental illness, offering listeners actionable steps to improve their well-being.
