In this episode, best-selling author and world-renowned physician, Dr. William Li shares the latest on metabolism, body fat, and the foods we need to eat to optimize our health. Turns out that much of what we believe to be true about metabolism and body fat is wrong.  No one is born with a fast metabolism that makes losing weight easier. In fact, the latest evidence suggests we all have the same metabolism, and it's actually body fat that helps or hinders our health and our ability to lose or gain weight.

Dr. Li is the president of the Angiogenesis Foundation and his work has led to more than 40 FDA approved therapeutics and devices for cancer, cardiovascular disease, vision loss and wound healing.
 
You may have seen him on the Today Show, or read his national best-selling book Eat to Beat Disease – His Ted Talk Can We Eat To Starve Cancer has over 11 million views.
Dr. Li is a passionate and effective communicator on health and has devoted his life to studying food as medicine. He is out with a new book Eat to Beat Your Diet.

Dr. Li has an amazing way of explaining how the body works, why we need fat, how what we eat affects our hormones and our metabolism, and explains quite simply how we can reset our metabolism at any age.To buy a copy of Eat To Beat Your Diet and connect with Dr. William Li click here.
