Today\u2019s brand new episode was actually a conversation Dr Li\xa0and I recorded together around 2 years ago, but the content within it, is just as relevant today.\n\xa0\nIn this conversation, we covered a broad range of food related topics that people often find confusing, with the intention of providing more clarity. We start off talking about the foods we might want to consider cutting back on, due to their negative effects on our health. We talk about sugar, artificial sweeteners, ultra-processed foods, alcohol, and the problems with reusing oil when frying.\n\xa0\nWe also talk about the practical steps we can all take immediately, when it comes to choosing foods that will enhance both our short term and long-term health.\n\xa0\nWe cover so many different topics today, including:\xa0\xa0\n\nhow you can go about choosing a good quality olive oil,\n\nthe benefits of pairing certain foods together to increase nutrient absorption,\n\nhow we can increase the amount of vitamin D in mushrooms,\n\nwhy organic foods are healthier,\n\nhow to best read food labels,\n\nthe link between the foods we consume and autoimmune disease,\n\nwhether supplements are beneficial, and so much more.\n\n\xa0\nDr Li is someone who wants joy to be at the heart of how we think about our food choices and our health. He is knowledgeable, passionate and a wonderful communicator. I always enjoy my conversations with him, I hope you enjoy listening.\n\nSupport the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
