Ever noticed how there’s a pill for pretty much everything these days?

While it might seem convenient, I think it’s time we start looking at prevention rather than just relying on treatment.

The good news? FOOD is one of the best tools we have for protecting our health.

That’s why in this episode, I welcome back Dr. William Li, a physician, scientist, and author of Eat To Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself.

Dr. Li and I discuss what many doctors overlook in terms of illness prevention, the fascinating science linking nutrition and disease, and the transformative power of incorporating certain foods into our daily diet.
