Episode description

My guest on today's podcast, Will Malcolm, is a health coach and wellness and biohacking expert specializing in gut issues and trauma. With over 20 years of experience rooted in athletics, two degrees in exercise physiology, including a master's from Northern Colorado, and coaching clients ranging from corporate professionals to the U.S. Army, Will’s understanding of health became deeply personal when he faced two autoimmune conditions. Determined to heal, he embarked on a transformative journey, uncovering the intricate connections between gut health, trauma, and the body’s innate ability to restore balance.

Through extensive research and experimentation with both conventional and alternative approaches, Will developed a unique framework that combines cutting-edge science using an immune-centric approach and mind-body healing techniques. His work focuses on healing the gut, resolving hidden trauma, and empowering individuals to reclaim vibrant health. Inspired by his own transformation, Will founded Intuitive Wellness Now, an online health coaching company dedicated to helping others overcome chronic gut issues and resolve hidden trauma to unlock their full potential

Whether you're seeking solutions for your own health challenges or are simply interested in the intersections of emotional and physical health, this conversation promises to offer valuable insights and inspiration.

Avoid low-carb diets in high-volume endurance sports to prevent health issues

Combining high-volume endurance sports with a low-carbohydrate diet can lead to hypothyroidism, joint pain, and a drop in testosterone.

Address physical symptoms beyond talk therapy

While talk therapy can be helpful mentally, it may not resolve physical symptoms because trauma and emotional wounds are often stored in the body's nervous system.

Shift athlete mindset to promote healing from chronic illness

The same hard-charging, no-limits mentality that helps in sports can prevent healing from chronic illness by keeping the body in a stress state.
