Elle Macpherson returns to The Art of Being Well for her most personal conversation yet — recorded the morning after a dinner where she and Dr. Will Cole shared things they'd never discussed on camera before. They cover the Hoffman Process and how it quietly laid the groundwork for sobriety, what getting sober actually changed physically and relationally, the healing power of tears and screaming in the car, and why Elle thinks healing is better understood as rebalancing. They also get into the power of language around illness, the perimenopause reframe she wishes every woman had access to, the WellCo Three Steps Well protocol, and a morning routine built around simplicity and consistency.

Josephine Musco — entrepreneur, biodynamic winemaker, jewelry designer, and founder of Olyxir — joins Dr. Will Cole for a conversation about the silent health crisis hiding in the most mundane places: your tea bag, your paper cup, your K-Cup, your yoga pants. She breaks down the microplastics and nanoplastics data (including the 11.6 billion microplastics released by a single tea bag), why plastic plus heat is the most dangerous combination in most people's daily routine, and how she invented the Tea Strip — a dissolvable strip of ground tea leaves with zero plastic, zero bleach, and zero compromise. They also cover epigenetics, olive leaf's antimicrobial power, selenium as the overlooked anti-aging nutrient, and the story of a father who healed with herbs from a garden and a daughter who turned his wisdom into a product.

Sisley Fraser - The Acne Nutritionist, holistic nutritionist, and one of the leading voices in functional skin health - joins Dr. Will Cole for a comprehensive, root-cause conversation on what acne is actually communicating and what to do about it. They cover the gut-skin axis, TCM face mapping, how acne timing in the menstrual cycle points to specific hormonal imbalances, the A1 vs. A2 dairy debate, phytoestrogenic foods as gentle estrogen modulators, xenoestrogens and the toxic bucket, why most people's skincare routines are making their acne worse, and the case for going pro-fruit. Sisley also shares her minimalist skincare protocol - including Manuka honey as a morning mask - and why the conventional "avoid all dairy, restrict everything" approach is creating more problems than it solves.

This one is special. Wem and I got to sit down with Dr Wendy Russell, independent play researcher, senior research fellow at the University of Gloucestershire, and 50 years into a career that started on an adventure playground apprenticeship in the 1970s. I came away from this conversation needing to go for a long walk and think about everything.The first half covers Wendy's work on spatial justice for children, the politics of public space, and what it would actually mean to have a statutory play sufficiency duty in England. We talk about what play sufficiency means in practice, why Wales has led the way, and why politicians keep defaulting to playgrounds when the picture is so much bigger than that.The second half goes deeper, into the relational capability approach to playing and being well that Wendy has developed with Mike Barkley and Ben Tawil of Ludicology. Drawing on Henri Lefebvre's production of space, Karen Barad's concept of intra-action, and the relational turn across academic disciplines, Wendy patiently walked Wem and me through a genuinely paradigm-shifting way of thinking about children, play, agency and wellbeing.By the end, the playwork principles themselves come under scrutiny. The idea of play as "freely chosen and personally directed" gets unpicked in a way that I'm still sitting with.Strap in. Press rewind as many times as you need. See you on the other side.In this episodeHow Wendy moved from adventure playground apprentice to academic researcher across 50 years in play and playworkThe politics of space and what spatial justice for children actually meansWhy falling road casualty statistics for children hide a much more troubling storyPlay sufficiency as a principle, what it is, what Wales has done with it, and why England feels like it's at a genuine policy moment right nowThe tension between play's intrinsic value and what funders and politicians actually want to measureWhy post-occupancy evaluation of housing developments almost never happens, and what Diana Bournat's research tells us when it doesHow repositioning a ball games area changes the way girls move across an entire spaceThe relational capability approach to playing and being well, resources, opportunities, and the conditions that allow children to playThe relational turn across academic disciplines and what it means to move away from the individual, atomised childKaren Barad's concept of intra-action and why "interaction" doesn't quite capture itWhat all of this means for forest school practice, the wind, the branch, the ants, and usFollowing an object across a play session as a practitioner reflective tool (I am absolutely trying this)Why "freely chosen and personally directed" is a useful definition and also, it turns out, a deeply adult-centric oneLinks and resourcesWendy Russell's publications, University of Gloucestershire research repository (search "Wendy Russell Gloucestershire") or via her LinkedIn profile [add link]Playing and Being Well, the Play Wales commissioned research review: playwales.org.ukPlay Wales: playwales.org.ukPlay England: playengland.org.ukLudicology, Mike Barkley and Ben Tawil: ludicology.comUNCRC General Comment 17 on Article 31, children's right to playHenri Lefebvre, The Production of SpaceKaren Barad, concept of intra-actionTim Gill, children's independent mobility and road space design: timgill.netComing up at Children of the ForestPedagogy Immersion Weekend, 15 and 16 August 2026, Devon.

In this episode of The OWN IT Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer sits down with Dr. Will Cole to break down what functional medicine really is (root cause medicine vs symptom chasing), why functional medicine telehealth matters, and how to filter modern health & wellness noise with discernment.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ What Functional Medicine actually is (evidence-based + diagnostics/labs + root-cause healing)✅ Why telehealth functional medicine matters (how Will built a virtual functional medicine clinic early)✅ A discernment filter for modern health & wellness (major in the majors, stop chasing noise)✅ The gut–brain axis + inflammation connection (“if your gut is off, your brain is off”)✅ How stress/trauma + the nervous system impact physiology (and why burnout is bi-directional)✅ The OWN IT thesis: health as worship, not performance (faith + physiology together)✅ Why “normal labs” doesn't always mean “healthy” (rapid-fire segment)===============================================================================About Dr. Will ColeDr. Will Cole is a leading functional medicine expert who consults people around the world, having started the first functional medicine telehealth centers in the world.

Dr. Joshua Levitt, naturopathic physician and co-founder of UpWellness, joins Dr. Will Cole to set the record straight on one of the body's most powerful - and most misunderstood - organs: the liver. They break down what the liver actually does beyond filtering, why liver enzyme levels on standard bloodwork are often missed as early warning signs, and what genuine liver support looks like versus the "flush" myths circulating online. Dr. Levitt also explains the fascinating connection between liver health and mental health, and shares the specific compounds - from milk thistle to NAC to taurine - that actually move the needle on liver function.

Your brain is the most remarkable thing in the known universe. Always trying to mend itself, and always trying to protect you, it's in a constant state of flux — adapting, reconfiguring, finding new pathways. And it has an astonishing capacity for recovery. Rachel Barr struggled through years of devastating loss, heartache, and uncertainty until neuroscience gave her the first spark of self-belief she had felt in her adult life — and proof that, because of the brain's near-infinite potential for neuroplastic change, it's never too late to carve out neural pathways to form new habits, new skills, and new ways of thinking.Whether you want to nerd-out on neuroscientific acronyms, finally understand what's going on in your head, or take refuge in a book that's like a warm hug for your mind, How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend is a delight-filled, evidence-based guide to taking better care of your brain — so it, in turn, will take better care of you. Our guest is: Rachel Barr, who holds a master's degree in molecular neuroscience.

In this episode of The Art of Being Well, Dr. Will Cole sits down with Jeff Mroz, former NFL player and founder of Pioneer Pastures, to unpack one of the most misunderstood foods in modern nutrition - milk. Jeff shares how his experience as a professional athlete led him to discover the truth about dairy, gut health, and why so many people who think they're “lactose intolerant” actually aren't. Together, they explore the science behind A2 protein, how industrial farming changed the structure of milk, and why returning to ancestral dairy may be one of the most powerful steps for healing.

Most of us are busier, more “optimized,” and more connected than ever - yet somehow feel less alive. Why? And what would it look like to reclaim a deeper, wilder sense of humanness in a world obsessed with control?This week, Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mere Mortals, returns to explore the paradox at the heart of modern life: the more we chase mastery, certainty, and perfect systems, the more we squeeze out the very aliveness we're craving. From the illusion of control to the quiet courage of letting go, we dig into how to live fully now, not “one day when everything's sorted.”Together we explore:Aliveness vs. optimization: why feeling in control can be the enemy of feeling alive — and how to make room for vitality again.“Letting go” without giving up: Elizabeth Gilbert's reframe you're not losing control; you never had it, only anxiety.Productive discomfort tolerance: sitting with the first five messy minutes, parenting, deep work, reading, and why difficulty isn't a personal failing.Resilience as release: from kintsugi to self-trust, why strength often arrives after the break, and why gripping harder rarely works.Plans that don't kill the work: using structure as a North Star, not a taskmaster, so projects keep their spark.Spontaneity on schedule? The weird trap of “time-boxing serendipity,” and the liberating truth that every moment is a choice.Comparison culture: inside vs. outside, and why someone else's serene grid may mask chaos you can't see.AI, therapy, and the human need to be held in mind: where tools help, and where only a person will do.This is a conversation about refusing to postpone life until after the emails, the crises, or the algorithm say you're done, and choosing to show up, human and imperfect, right now.Love,Sarah Ann

This episode invites you into a radical reframing of confusion—not as weakness or failure, but as an appropriate, even necessary response to our rapidly changing world. Cultural messaging tells us confusion should be avoided, fixed, overcome. That if we're confused, somehow we're failing life! Abso-f$%king-lutely not.Through personal stories, practical guidance, poetry, and more, let's illuminate how confusion can lead us to clarity, self-trust, and connection when approached more consciously. You'll learn to differentiate between conscious confusion and unconscious rumination, with tools to lovingly disrupt those unconscious loops. Releasing certainty and embracing conscious confusion is a practice to disorient us from the systems designed to keep us good consumers and bad rebels.Learn more about Dana & Leah's Fall Equinox retreat in Joshua Tree!
