About Episode In this special audio episode from Plant Based News, we bring together three powerful conversations that challenge diet extremes and spotlight the science behind long-term health. We begin with a breakdown of one of the internet’s most surprisingly reasonable ex-vegan videos—questioning whether honest dialogue is possible in today’s polarized nutrition world. Then we turn to a viral clip where ChatGPT is pushed to its limits in a heated exchange about the carnivore diet. Is AI too agreeable for its own good—or is it trying to keep the peace in a sea of pseudoscience? Finally, we explore the concept of the MediterrAsian diet, championed by Dr. William Li on The Diary of a CEO podcast. Fusing Mediterranean and Asian dietary wisdom, Dr. Li outlines a path rooted in sustainability, longevity, and delicious whole foods.MORE Podcast Title The Plant Based News Podcast

About Episode Can we reverse chronic disease using food? How can food be used as preventative medicine? What foods have medicinal properties and in what dose? Dr. William Li, physician, scientist and bestselling author of  “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”. For the latest cutting edge food as medicine science, check out Dr. Li's YouTube Channel.  I discovered Dr. Li over 12 years ago when he did a Ted Talk on the power of food and food extracts on angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and cancer. This was a pivotal moment for me and sparked my passion for nutrition. I honestly, couldn’t get enough of nutrition science from that day forward. I watched every documentary I could get my hands on and read scientific papers alongside my day job - it was a real turning point. This is probably why I was overly excited about meeting Dr Li at a conference in London and where he kindly agreed to come on the show. Dr. William Li is an incredible researcher and content creator and has pioneered the science of food as medicine.   In this fascinating conversation we discuss: How to use food as medicine The top foods for health creation Common beverages with health enhancing properties The surprising link between sweetness and telomeres And much more SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.instagram.com/drwilliamli/ https://www.facebook.com/drwilliamli/ https://twitter.com/drwilliamli?lang=en https://www.youtube.com/c/DrWilliamLi MORE Podcast Title The Functional Health Podcast

About Episode “One of the things that I always teach people is listen to your body. You want to actually pay attention to what makes you feel good and what your body is gravitating you towards. This is about bounty. It's not about deprivation. The research has shown us we can lean into the foods that we like. We love to be able to find something that's not only good that we appreciate.” -Dr. William Li    “It is possible to turn back the clock on our metabolism, burn fat, and increase longevity, all while being able to enjoy the food we eat. Are you saying we can sleep and fat burn at the same time?” -Dotsie Bausch   “That's exactly what I'm saying.  When you burn down body fat, your metabolism rises. I thought I understood human metabolism as a medical doctor, But I can tell you everything changed in our understanding of modern human metabolism in December of 2021. The human metabolism was found by this research of 6,000 people to be absolutely rock stable. It's hardwired not to go down by itself. And what they found is that if you remove extra body fat, human metabolism is pretty much the same when you're born.” -Dr. William Li   “Our metabolism does not slow down from age 20 to 60. We're eating more and moving less. Therefore, we're slowly or quickly gaining more excess body fat. And excess body fat is what slows the metabolism. Bingo, not our age.” -Dotsie Bausch    “You wanna fight fat, eat the right kind of food. Food isn't about shame, guilt, or fear. Mm-hmm. We now know enough that we can actually make mindful choices and eat those things that activate our health defenses, improve our metabolism.  But it turns out that coffee overall, even coffee with caffeine actually not only slows the burn, the shortening of your telomeres, but it can actually lengthen your telomeres. So drinking coffee can actually slow down your cellular aging. So our, our health overall, our life is not just the absence of disease, it's really the-” -Dr. William Li   Is it possible to turn back the clock on our metabolism, burn fat, and increase longevity, all while being able to enjoy the food we eat? According to our guest today, it most certainly is. Dr. William Li is an internal medicine specialist, scientist, and New York Times best-selling author.  His groundbreaking work in the field of angiogenesis – which is the process of developing new blood vessels in the body – has led to 40 new medical treatments for cancer, diabetes, and obesity, to name a few.  In his new book, Eat to Beat Your Diet: Burn Fat, Heal Your Metabolism, and Live Longer, Dr. Li shatters some of the myths we’ve been conditioned to believe about metabolism, weight loss, and the role fat plays in the human body.  In this wildly informative episode, we take a deep dive into what we should actually be eating and doing to be the healthiest, fittest version of ourselves! What we discuss in this episode: A clear and simple explanation of human metabolism. The truth about body fat. The importance of listening to your body and being mindful while you eat. Sleep, fasting, and burning fat. Dr. Li’s routine to optimize his metabolism. How excess body fat slows your metabolism. Why we gain weight in middle age and what we can do about it. How chronic stress can cause weight gain? The different types of fat.  How the body’s defenses can be activated by food.  How our immune system is linked to our metabolism. Inflammation and excess body fat. How to create balance in the body through food. The dangers of processed foods to the metabolism and immune system. Foods that can lengthen telomeres.

About Episode In the very first episode of the new season of What Your GP Doesn't Tell you, Liz Tucker talks to medical doctor and researcher, Dr William Li who has treated some of the toughest cancer cases imaginable. He argues for the 21st century treatment of cancer, the solution lies not in a single silver bullet but in an integrative approach. In addition to traditional cancer therapies this also includes newer ones such as immunotherapy and takes into account factors such as the gut biome. Published research now suggests that the health of someone’s gut biome and the particular species of bacteria it contains can make a genuine difference in their body’s ability to fight cancer. William believes it’s essential doctors use all the tools at their disposal to provide the most effective treatment possible. In a number of patients, including his own mother who faced a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Using a multi-factorial methodology, William has been able to successfully treating cancer cases which initially appeared to have extremely bleak diagnoses.
