How Having Variety In Your Diet Creates Health

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and
InsideTracker. It can be easy to fall into a food rut, eating the
same things week in and week out. Consuming a variety of foods not
only adds more excitement to your meals, but it’s also essential
for expanding the nutritional diversity of your diet. There are
thousands of phytochemicals, also called phytonutrients, found in
whole foods like vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, spices, and tea,
among many other things. These natural compounds create a variety
of colors in our plant foods and signal various benefits. In
today’s episode, I talk with Dr. William Li, Dr. Jeffrey Bland, and
Dhru Purohit about why having diversity in your diet and eating a
range of colorful produce is the ideal way to promote optimal
health.  Dr. Li is a world-renowned physician, scientist,
speaker, and author of Eat to Beat Disease—The New Science of How
Your Body Can Heal Itself. He is best known for leading the
Angiogenesis Foundation. His groundbreaking work has impacted more
than 70 diseases, including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart
disease, and obesity.  Dr. Jeff Bland is the founder of Big
Bold Health, a company on a mission to transform the way people
think about one of nature’s greatest innovations—the immune system.
A nutritional biochemist by training, Jeff began in academia as a
university professor. Jeff then spent three decades working
alongside other pioneers in the natural products industry. In 1991,
he and his wife, Susan, founded the Institute for Functional
Medicine. In 2012, Jeff founded another educational nonprofit
called the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute. Dhru Purohit
