#80 Dr William Li - Preventing And Reversing Chronic Disease Using Food As Medicine
Can we reverse chronic disease using food? How can food be used as preventative medicine? What foods have these medicinal properties and in what dose?
Dr. William Li, physician, scientist and bestselling author of “Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself” and “Eat to Beat Your Diet: Burn Fat, Heal Your Metabolism, and Live Longer”. For the latest cutting edge food as medicine science, check out Dr. Li's YouTube Channel.
I discovered over 12 years ago when he did a Ted Talk which on the power of food and food extracts on angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and cancer. This was one of the pivtiol moments for me which sparked my passion for nutrition. I honestly, couldn’t get enough of it from that day. Watching every documentary I could get my hands on and reading scientific papers alongside my day job, it was a real turning point.
This is probably why I was perhaps overly excited about meeting Dr Li at a conference in London and arranging for him to come on the show. Dr. William Li is a profile researcher and content creator and has really pioneered the science of food as medicine.
In this fascinating conversation we discuss:
How to use food as medicine
The top foods for health creation
Common beverages with health enhancing properties
The surprising link between sweetness and telomeres
And much more
