Dr. William Li on The Foods You Must Add to Your Diet to Heal Your Body, Stop Inflammation and Prevent Cancer

World-renowned physician, scientist, and bestselling author of “Eat to Beat Your Diet,” Dr. William Li—global pioneer of the food as medicine movement—reveals jaw-dropping truths about how to heal your gut microbiome, prevent chronic disease, and reverse metabolic damage with science-backed nutrition. In this powerful deep-dive, Dr. Li unpacks how to activate your body’s five natural defense systems to fight disease using immune-boosting foods, anti-angiogenic ingredients, and metabolism-boosting meals that help your body naturally produce GLP-1 for sustainable weight loss without drugs.

Discover why so many young people are suddenly getting cancer, the overlooked dangers in ultra-processed foods, the truth about sugar substitutes, and how everyday foods may secretly be harming your health. Dr. Li also breaks down what to eat for brain health, the gut-brain connection, improving ADHD symptoms with diet, and using functional foods to enhance longevity and cellular repair. From the rising risks of microplastics and E. coli to burning fat naturally with fat-fighting foods, Dr. Li explains why you—not the healthcare system—hold the true power to heal and thrive.

Theme Song Written, Produced, and Performed by Ed Robertson. Mixed by Kenny Luong.
