So why aren\u2019t doctors trained in how to use food as medicine? We\u2019re taught all about using pharmaceuticals to affect our biology, but the power of food is left high and dry. I think this is a foundational area of medical training we need to change. That\u2019s why I\u2019m so excited to talk to one of my favorite people and thinkers in the world of food and medicine on this episode of The Doctor\u2019s Farmacy, Dr. William Li.\xa0\nDr. William Li 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, and he has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, Martha Stewart Live, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, Voice of America, and has presented at the Vatican\u2019s Unite to Cure conference.
