How To Burn Fat, Heal Your Metabolism, and Live Longer with Dr. William Li

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker,
Joovv, and Thrive Market. Excess belly fat, or visceral fat around
the organs, is the number-one cause of aging. It drives
inflammation, increases the risk of blood clots, changes your
hormones and brain chemistry, and more. It’s a recipe for disaster
in the body. Not only does belly fat surround the organs, but it’s
an organ of its own that can produce dangerous inflammatory
cytokines that may lead to a cytokine storm.  Today on The
Doctor’s Farmacy, I sit down with Dr. William Li to talk about the
top foods that can fight harmful fat, improve metabolism, and
strengthen our body’s natural defense systems. Dr. William Li is an
internationally renowned physician, scientist, and author of the
New York Times bestseller Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of
How Your Body Can Heal Itself. His groundbreaking research has led
to the development of more than 30 new medical treatments that
impact care for more than 70 diseases, including diabetes,
blindness, heart disease, and obesity. His TED Talk, Can We Eat to
Starve Cancer? has garnered more than 11 million views. He is
President and Medical Director of the Angiogenesis Foundation and
is leading global initiatives on food as medicine. His newest book,
Eat to Beat Your Diet: Burn Fat, Heal Your Metabolism, and Live
Longer, was just released. This episode is brought to you by Rupa
