In this Ask Me Anything episode, Dr. Will Cole and his team tackle listener questions on periorbital edema with Hashimoto's, what your fingernails are communicating about your metabolic and immune health, and the oral vs. injectable GLP-1 debate. They also address a question that's generating a lot of conversation online: are GLP-1 medications blunting dopamine in ways that affect desire, relationships, and emotional connection — and what can be done about it? As always, the team brings both the clinical nuance and the real-world perspective. For all links mentioned in this episode, visit http://www.drwillcole.com/podcast

Registered dietitian and personal trainer Rachael DeVaux joins Dr. Will Cole to make the case for protein as the most important - and most underestimated - macro in most people's diets. They cover how much protein you actually need, why breakfast is the most critical meal to front-load it, the complete vs. incomplete protein debate, and what the new HHS dietary guidelines finally got right. Rachael also walks through a full day of meals that hits 120 grams of protein, her approach to feeding toddlers for brain health and stable blood sugar, and why she tracks protein but removed calories entirely from her cookbook.
