167 - The Best Foods for Boosting Metabolism + Beating Disease w/ Dr. William Li

In today’s episode, Dr. Li and I discuss food as medicine and explore how the right foods can enhance our health defenses, boost our immune system, and even help us combat diseases like cancer and dementia. Dr. Li shares his groundbreaking research on the five health defense systems that our bodies possess and how we can activate them through our diet.

Here are some highlights you won't want to miss:

• The Five Health Defenses: Dr. Li breaks down the five key systems that protect our health and how we can support them with our food choices.
• Starving Cancer: Learn about the foods that can cut off the blood supply to cancer cells and how simple dietary changes can make a significant impact.
• Boosting Brain Health: Discover the role of polyphenols and healthy fats in preventing cognitive decline and enhancing brain function.
• Empowering Your Immune System: Dr. Li explains how certain foods can ramp up our immune defenses and help us stay healthy.

One of the most exciting takeaways from our conversation is the idea that we can "eat to beat" not just disease, but also the restrictive diets that often leave us feeling deprived. Dr. Li shares the importance of adding nourishing foods to our plates rather than focusing on elimination.
