Dr. William Li is a renowned cancer researcher, physician and scientist, who is also the author of two New York Times bestselling books – Eat to Beat Disease & Eat To Beat Your Diet.
Dr. Li initially rose to fame in 2010 for his TED Talk, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?”, which has racked up over 11 million views. His groundbreaking research has led to the development of more than 40 new medical treatments that impact care for more than 70 diseases.
The relevance of his work cannot be understated, given that cancer rates are up 79% amongst young people.
So in this conversation, we review the latest data, how cancer works, and the defense systems in the body that protect us against cancer. We then get into how we can actually prevent cancer from manifesting in our body through food and other lifestyle interventions.
