“If you can align food that you love with foods that are good for you, you’ve won the game of health.” -Dr. William Li
I couldn’t agree more, so I asked him to share his groundbreaking research on my podcast.
Dr. Li’s research has led to the development of over 40 new medical treatments that impact care for more than 70 diseases, including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity. His TED Talk: “Can we eat to starve cancer?” and best-selling book: “Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself” should also be on everyone’s list.
Tune in for some food for thought on the Game of Health and about beverages you should be drinking more of, foods that starve breast cancer, and so much more.

Here are some highlights from this Podcast:
- Dr. Li emphasizes the powerful role of food as medicine, noting that certain foods, like blueberries and dark chocolate, contain anthocyanins that inhibit angiogenesis, which is the growth of blood vessels that tumors need to thrive.
- Dr. Li shares his journey of integrating food and medicine, including his unique experience in a Greek monastery where he learned about traditional methods of healing and the importance of food culture in health.
- The discussion highlights the significant impact of anti-angiogenic foods, such as green tea, soy, and Omega-3 fatty acids, in intercepting and preventing the growth of tumors, particularly in breast cancer.
- Dr. Li explains the unique benefits of matcha over regular green tea, including its higher concentration of polyphenols and its ability to kill breast cancer stem cells, which are often responsible for cancer recurrence.
- The podcast explores the future of cancer treatment, focusing on healing the body through nutrition and lifestyle changes, rather than just targeting the disease, with an emphasis on reducing inflammation and boosting the immune system through diet.
