Summary

Ep 79. In this juicy episode of What's the Juice, I'm sitting down with Dr. William Li, author of "Eat to Beat Disease," to challenge common perceptions of body fat and explore practical strategies for maintaining a healthy balance. Here are the key takeaways:

Essential role of body fat: Fat cells act as a fuel tank during development, storing energy for future use.
Consequences of overeating: Excessive calorie intake leads to fat accumulation, metabolic issues, and inflammation.
Listening to your body: Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues to avoid overeating.
Quality of food matters: Choose nutritious options to fuel your body effectively.
Understanding visceral fat: Excess visceral fat surrounding organs can impact health negatively.
Practical strategies: Avoid late-night snacking and incorporate fasting periods for effective fat-burning.
Hormonal imbalances: Balancing hormones through food choices and lifestyle practices is essential.

0:00.0	Happy Pod Monday, fam. We are back to Mondays, which I love so much more. I think it's way better to
0:08.2	start our week with a podcast because Mondays can be such a drag and we need a good What's the Juice
0:13.0	Pod episode to get us through. So I'm coming to you live from my bedroom and I am just so excited
0:18.5	to introduce this episode. It was a really, really good one.
0:22.2	Extremely informative. It gives you so much motivation to eat your fruits and vegetables and
0:26.9	eat them in the right therapeutic doses. And it explains how food can be one of the most powerful

0:51.8	therapeutics and devices for cancer, cardiovascular disease, wound healing, and
0:56.3	vision loss. This man is a genius and he has turned that scientific research brain to the
1:03.8	literature on food to quite literally inspire people to eat better and understand why they are doing so. Today he's going to examine food as
1:13.5	medicine through molecular nutrition, which applies biology and biotechnology to understand not only
1:18.8	the components of food, but how the body responds to what it is fed. If you are confused on what to eat
1:25.0	and what fruits and veggies are best for what condition and how much fruits
1:30.2	and veg you need to eat for healthy aging and how you can improve your metabolism through food
1:34.9	and balancing your blood sugar and all that good stuff. Dr. Lee is an expert and he's going to chat
1:40.2	all about that with us today. I originally found Dr. Lee through his TED talk, Can We Eat to
1:44.7	Starve Cancer? And I knew we had to have him on the show because he was talking about actual
1:49.9	food therapeutics that you can use to change the progression of cancer on a cellular level. And that is
1:57.6	so powerful. And people need to know that food can actually do that.
