The Art of Being Well

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.

In this Ask Me Anything episode — recorded from memory after the questions were accidentally deleted — Dr. Will Cole and his team answer listener questions on candida overgrowth, body odor as a gut-skin axis check engine light, and Alpha-Gal syndrome. They cover the rotating antifungal approach, the microbiome-body odor connection from a 2017 study, and how ear acupuncture showed 96% symptom relief for Alpha-Gal in a small clinical trial. The conversation also lands on a jaw-dropping Bioethics journal article suggesting scientists should intentionally bioengineer ticks to give humans Alpha-Gal syndrome as an environmental strategy to reduce red meat consumption. Plus Sip of the Summer round two: LaCroix Sunshine, a Costa Rica orange espresso, and organic black iced tea.
