The interview

What is your professional background and the focus of your practice?

I'm Dr. Will Cole, a leading functional medicine doctor. I started the first functional medicine telehealth clinic 15 years ago. I write books and have a podcast. My line of work deals a lot with people that have autoimmune problems, digestive issues, brain fog, fatigue, nervous system issues, mold toxicity, and chronic Lyme disease.

Why do you recommend Sunlighten specifically to your patients?

Sunlighten has always been a leader in infrared research and providing top-notch, unparalleled devices and technologies. You know that they are the best of the best, so it's been an easy relationship over the past years, recommending our telehealth patients to consider bringing a Sunlighten device into their home.

How does infrared sauna therapy fit into a functional medicine toolbox?

Supporting pathways that have to do with making the body more resilient is paramount to our work. Having infrared saunas as a tool can be a game changer because it's such a unique tool. Unlike food, herbs, or botanicals, infrared sauna brings a whole set of benefits that is very unique to itself.

What personal health benefits have you noticed since using the sauna consistently?

Personally, I've noticed such a difference in my energy levels, my sleep, skin health, and lab markers like improved detox pathways for environmental toxins. It's also a great adjunctive tool for me post-workout to enhance cardiovascular benefits while I do breath work and meditation.

What clinical results have you observed in your patients using Sunlighten?

Professionally and clinically, I've seen very similar benefits. I can get labs looking great when infrared sauna is a tool within their toolbox. For people that have environmental toxins, brain fog, or fatigue, supporting detox in this unique way is a priceless tool for our clinical work.

How long have you been using and recommending infrared therapy?

I have about 15 to 16 years of experience knowing the research and being prescriptive with it for telehealth patients. Personally, I have done it consistently for the past two and a half years, which allowed me to see the benefits firsthand.

What is your final advice for someone considering a Sunlighten sauna?

If you're interested in leveling up your health or if you're new on your journey and looking for the best of the best to turn the corners of your health puzzle faster, I would say why wait? It is something that I would recommend to my family, something I use personally, and something I give my stamp of approval on.

Full transcript

Sunlighten has always been a leader in infrared research and really providing top notch, unparalleled devices and technologies and tools for people to use in their life. You know that they are the best of the best so it's been a easy relationship over the past years together, and recommending our telehealth patients to consider bringing a Sunlighten device into their home because they just are leaders in the space, Hi, I'm Dr. Will Cole. I'm a leading functional medicine doctor. I started the first functional medicine telehealth clinic for 15 years ago at this point, and I write books, I have a podcast. My line of work... we deal a lot with people that have autoimmune problems, digestive issues, things like brain fog, fatigue. and nervous system issues, mold toxicity, chronic lyme disease, supporting pathways that have to do with making the body more resilient is very paramount to our work, so bringing in evidence based tools within the toolbox to support these pathways are important, and having infrared saunas as a tool within their toolbox can be a game changer because it's such a unique tool. You know, when you focus, for example, on food or natural medicine, herbs, botanicals, or different mind-body practices, there's very few tools within that sort of biohacking, functional medicine toolbox... like, infrared sauna brings a whole set of benefits that's very unique to itself. So it's something that is a non-negotiable for me personally, It's something that I use weekly, but also become a non-negotiable to thousands of our telehealth patients over the years too. So personally, I've noticed such a difference in my energy levels, my sleep, skin health, lab markers like improved detox pathways, if I had any environmental toxins just accumulated from living in modernity, and it's a great adjunctive tool for me post workout which has kind of enhanced that cardiovascular benefits too, while I can sit down and kind of habit stack in a way where I can sit, relax, do some breath work, meditation, and get the benefits of infrared, and get the benefits of sweating. Professionally, clinically, I've seen very similar benefits. I can get labs looking great when infrared sauna is a tool within their toolbox, so people that have environmental toxins, people that have brain fog, fatigue... by supporting detox in this unique way with infrared sauna is a very much a priceless tool for our clinical work. I have a lot longer experience with knowing the research and the clinical use of it and me telling somebody "Hey, I want you to do this x amount a week for y amount of time." and, like really, like 15-16 years of that, but personally, I have only done it consistently for the past two and a half years. So I will say this. Two and a half years ago, it was like a whole other ballgame for me personally, because it's something "Oh, it wasn't me just being prescriptive for telehealth patients. It was something that I got to see firsthand myself." which is really, it was a great experience and one that keeps you motivated. You want to keep doing the things that love you back, and this definitely loves me back. Well, if you're interested in leveling up your health, I think if you've gone down the wellness world's roads and you haven't crossed the bridge of looking at infrared heat and infrared saunas as a tool within your toolbox, I definitely would lean into it, or if somebody's new on their journey and they're looking for just the best of the best and seeing they want to turn the corners of their health puzzle faster, I would say, that even better. Like, why wait? Because I've seen it be such an enhancer at taking your health to the next level. From start to finish, what Sunlighten puts out there is something that I would recommend to my family, something that I use personally, and something that I've seen just clinically be such a great tool. It's something that I definitely give my stamp of approval on.
