Can we reverse chronic disease using food? How can food be used as preventative medicine? What foods have 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 Dr. Li over 12 years ago when he did a Ted Talk on the power of food and food extracts on angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and cancer. This was a pivotal moment for me and sparked my passion for nutrition. I honestly, couldn’t get enough of nutrition science from that day forward. I watched every documentary I could get my hands on and read scientific papers alongside my day job - it was a real turning point.
This is probably why I was overly excited about meeting Dr Li at a conference in London and where he kindly agreed to come on the show. Dr. William Li is an incredible researcher and content creator and has 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
