He then founded one of the first telehealth clinics and pioneered functional medicine. Dr. Cole’s new book, Intuitive Fasting, focuses on teaching patients to listen to their bodies and eat what is right for them. He believes in the importance of metabolic flexibility to have proper hormonal signaling, blood sugar balance, and satiety signaling to know what makes one feel good and what doesn’t.

IMetabolic flexibility is essential to human health, and our ever-changing world has created a genetic-epigenetic mismatch. This mismatch has caused many health problems, including an epidemic of gut health problems caused by eating around the clock. In this episode, Shawn Stevenson and Dr. Will Cole discuss the power of metabolic flexibility and fasting.
Dr. Cole explains that calorie restriction and fasting are two different things. Calorie restriction limits the number of calories you take in, while fasting is abstaining from food for a certain period. Fasting is a powerful tool for weight loss but has many benefits for overall health.
Dr. Cole talks about the importance of experimenting with different ways of eating and intuitive fasting. He also explains the importance of gut health and inflammation and how to support the body’s natural process of autophagy. He also discusses TRF (time-restricted feeding), a template for easing into fasting and making it a part of your lifestyle.
Finally, Dr. Cole talks about the link between weight loss and getting healthier. He emphasizes that weight loss should not be the only goal and that getting healthier should be the focus. He also discusses the importance of listening to your body and finding what works best.
