Rebooting your health 'operating system'

This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Bon Charge, Pique Life, and BUBS Naturals.

Longevity doesn’t require high-tech solutions. It thrives on fundamentals: whole foods, quality sleep, movement, and connection. Today’s guest draws from a world of experience and science to show how these ageless habits can become part of your everyday rhythm.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing back one of our most powerful conversations with Dr. William Li to explore the top health-promoting foods he’s discovered during his travels. Dr. Li breaks down the latest research on the best breakfast choices to nourish, fuel, and heal your body, his approach to longevity, and the four key gut bacteria linked to long, healthy lives. He also highlights the foods that support these beneficial bacteria, boost collagen production, and help reduce toxin exposure. If you’re looking for foods and habits that truly promote longevity, this episode is for you.

Dr. William W. Li, MD, is an internationally renowned physician, scientist, and author of the New York Times bestsellers “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.”  His groundbreaking research has led to the development of more than 40 new medical treatments that impact care for more than 70 diseases, including diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity. He is President and Medical Director of the Angiogenesis Foundation, and he is leading global initiatives on food as medicine.
