Summary

This episode is brought to you by Eight Sleep, Athletic Greens, and BiOptimizers. You can start to heal your body right now simply with the food you put in your mouth—it's really that simple. Food has the power to heal the body from many ailments and can even help prevent cancer. There are many powerful medicinal compounds in foods: curcumin, catechins, lycopene, resveratrol, and quercetin, just to name a few. That’s why I call the grocery store the drug store; we can literally eat our medicine at every meal. In this compilation episode, I am joined by Dr. William Li to discuss how to use food as medicine, the importance of nitric oxide for our blood vessels, the role of the microbiome, and why it's necessary to support the immune system. William Li, MD, 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. His TED Talk, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?” has garnered more than 11 million views. An author of over 100 scientific publications in leading journals such as Science, the New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and more, Dr. Li has served on the faculties of Harvard, Tufts, and Dartmouth Medical School.

0:00.0	Coming up on this episode of the doctor's pharmacy.
0:03.6	It's not about drugs killing cancer. It's about our bodies taking care of
0:07.6	itself and wiping out those cancer. I think food as medicine is something that
0:11.7	can become the second nature. You have to be exposed to the basic information.
0:16.8	Hey everyone, it's Dr. Mark. You probably figured out by now that I'm super
0:20.4	passionate about getting regular, deep, restful sleep. It's a foundational
0:24.6	piece for optimizing metabolism, brain function, and pretty much our health as a whole.
0:29.5	One hack that has made such a huge difference in my own sleep was keeping my bed nice and cool.
0:34.2	And that's one of the reasons I love the pro pod cover from 8th sleep.
0:37.9	For me, the most common reason for waking up in the middle of the night is getting too hot.
0:41.6	Even when the AC cranks, sometimes my bed just gets really warm for my own body heat,

0:49.8	that problem and I sleep soundly all night long, wake up done, rest it, and energize.
0:54.2	8th sleep's pod pro cover can go on your existing mattress. It pairs dynamic heating and cooling
1:01.3	thermal regulation with biometric tracking. So it's actually just in two my needs throughout the
1:06.4	night. It gives me an interesting set of data to learn from the next day, like a sleep score
1:10.4	and heart rate variability. I love that the pod pros syncs with my aura ring so I can get all my
1:15.4	biometric data in one place to really understand my body's patterns day and night without having
1:20.2	to do anything extra. If you use a woo band, they're also compatible with the pod pro.
1:25.1	8th sleep helps me feel restored and rested. And I wake up feeling a better version of myself,
1:29.7	which is good. And you're in the market for an entirely new mattress. 8th sleep's pod pro mattress
