| Stress, Hormones, and Chronic Disease with Dr. Will Cole | 06 Dec 2022 | 00:32:28 | |
Dr. Will Cole is the featured guest this week on the DUTCH Podcast and he and Jaclyn Smeaton, ND (DUTCH Chief Medical Officer) discuss chronic disease and its relationship to inflammation, stress, and hormone imbalances.
