How much power do your food choices really have over your health? You probably already know that your diet can hugely influence how well you feel, but did you know that the food you choose to eat can change the make-up of your entire body, all the way down to the health of your cells?

This week, Dr William Li returns to the podcast for the 4th time. He is an internationally renowned physician, food scientist and bestselling author of two books, including his latest ‘Eat to Beat Your Diet: Burn Fat, Heal Your Metabolism & Live Longer’. Dr Li’s ground-breaking work has led to the development of more than 30 new medical treatments and has impacted the care of more than 70 different diseases, including cancer, type II diabetes, blindness, heart disease and obesity. And, his TED Talk, ‘Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?’ has had more than 11 million views.

In this engaging and enlightening conversation, Dr Li shares his expertise with his trademark clarity and enthusiasm. His unique ability to break down complex scientific concepts into relatable analogies makes the information accessible to anyone.

We explore the intricate relationship between what we eat and how our bodies function. We discuss how certain foods can stimulate and protect our vital stem cells, which enhances our body's natural ability to regenerate and heal. We also discuss how some foods can improve everything from our blood vessel health to the function of our brains.

Dr Li also sheds light on some common myths surrounding metabolism, the importance of personalised nutrition and the very ‘modern’ issue of over-consuming calories. As always, Dr Li shares some of his top practical tips to help.

I thoroughly enjoyed talking to William again. He is passionate, incredibly knowledgeable and wants to empower each and every one of us to be active, engaged participants in our health. I hope you enjoy listening.
