About this episode
This episode is brought to you by Eight Sleep , Athletic Greens , and BiOptimizers . You can start to heal your body right now simply with the food you put in your mouth—it's really that simple. Food has the power to heal the body from many ailments and can even help prevent cancer. There are many powerful medicinal compounds in foods: curcumin, catechins, lycopene, resveratrol, and quercetin, just to name a few. That’s why I call the grocery store the drug store; we can literally eat our medicine at every meal. In this compilation episode, I am joined by Dr. William Li to discuss how to use food as medicine, the importance of nitric oxide for our blood vessels, the role of the microbiome, and why it's necessary to support the immune system. William Li, MD, is a world-renowned physician, scientist, speaker, and author of Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself . He is best known for leading the Angiogenesis Foundation. His groundbreaking work has impacted more than 70 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity. His TED Talk, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?” has garnered more than 11 million views. An author of over 100 scientific publications in leading journals such as Science , the New England Journal of Medicine , The Lancet , and more, Dr. Li has served on the faculties of Harvard, Tufts, and Dartmouth Medical School.
