This is the start of a powerful 3-part series based on Dr. William Li’s groundbreaking book Eat to Beat Disease — and today we’re diving into why food is so much more than fuel.

In this episode, Dr. Rob Sumner breaks down how food sends chemical signals to your cells, activates your body’s natural healing systems, and shapes your long-term health more than most people realize.

You’ll learn how the body is designed to defend itself from cancer, inflammation, aging, and disease — and how every bite you take is either turning those defense systems ON or OFF.

This is NOT about dieting.
It’s NOT about restriction.
It’s about making food work for you instead of against you.
