by Dr. Steven Gundry | Aug 23, 2022 | 0 comments

When’s the last time your doctor prescribed you a bowl of leafy greens or a handful of mushrooms?

Unless you’re my patient, probably never!

And it’s unfortunate – because FOOD is one of the most powerful tools we have for optimizing our health.

And my guest couldn’t agree more.

I welcome back Dr. William Li, physician, scientist, and author of Eat To Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself.

Dr. Li and I reveal what most doctors MISS when it comes to health and longevity, the shocking science behind nutrition and disease, and the health-transforming foods everyone should be consuming on a daily basis.
