342. Everyday Foods as Medicine: Dr. William Li on Grocery-Store Foods That Fight Fat and Age You Well

July 29, 2026·54 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

The foods that heal us aren't necessarily exotic or expensive — most are already sitting on our grocery shelves. Dr. William Li walks us through the store, aisle by aisle, showing how everyday foods work with our bodies: fighting the fat we don't want, and helping us age the way we hope to. He'll also change how we think about body fat itself, because we can't judge our health by the size of our body — and the fat we can't see matters far more than the number on the scale. Real food as medicine, with a whole lot of joy and not an ounce of deprivation!   LET'S TALK THE WALK! Join here for support, motivation and fun!
