What if the food on your plate could not only keep you healthy - but also reverse disease and extend your life?
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. William Li, physician, scientist, and author of Eat to Beat Disease. He reveals how everyday choices - what we eat, how we manage stress, and even our environment can switch on the body’s hidden defense systems to fight illness and boost longevity.
From his mother’s recovery from stage 4 cancer, to the promise of cancer vaccines, the science of angiogenesis, and the surprising power of broccoli, coffee, and tea - Dr. Li shows how medicine is becoming not just about treatment, but empowerment.📌What You’ll Learn in This Episode:How everyday foods can activate the body’s hidden defense systemsWhy immunotherapy is rewriting the future of cancer careThe personal story of Dr. Li’s mother’s recovery from stage 4 cancerHow your immune system hunts and destroys “supervillain” cancer cellsThe role of angiogenesis (blood vessel growth) in longevity and brain healthWhy younger people are facing cancer earlier and what that means for aging researchThe dangers of microplastics and how to minimize exposure in daily lifeThe science behind coffee, tea, and polyphenols in boosting healthWhy stress - both personal and generational shapes long-term health outcomesWhat the future holds: cancer vaccines, new therapies, and lifestyle breakthroughs⏱️Timestamps0:00 – Why this conversation matters for your health and longevity0:36 – Food as medicine: preventing and reversing disease2:31 – Can we really cure cancer?
