Dr. William Li is President of The Angiogenesis Foundation, a world-renowned physician, research scientist currently studying the vascular impact of COVID-19, speaker (his TED Talk has over 11 million views), and NYT bestselling author of Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself.
What you'll learn from this episode:
How leveraging angiogenesis—the growth of new capillary blood vessels in the body and the common denominator of the world's most debilitating diseases—led to the founding of The Angiogenesis Foundation, which has had an impact on 50 million lives over 25 years.
The progress that's been made in the last decade to nail down the science of dietary health as a means to prevent these diseases before they need to be cured or controlled by drugs.
Common misconceptions about what it means to "eat healthily"—and why it can feel like such an uphill battle for those of us constantly struggling to do the right thing.
Why the scientific answer to "What is health?" goes well beyond the mere absence of disease.
The body’s five defense systems and what we should eat (and avoid) to ensure they're optimally bolstered—whether we're omnivorous, pescatarian, vegetarian, or vegan.
And so much more!
