Intro

Do you think that your metabolism "just slows down with age," especially in menopause? Well then get ready to have your mind blown. Today I sit down with the incredible Dr. William Li, who is a world-renowned physician and researcher.

We cover

• Whether the "midlife metabolic crash" is myth or truth

• The surprising reality of metabolism across your entire lifespan

• What slows metabolism more… age or something else entirely

• The type of fat that's silently sabotaging your health

• The surprising fat that's actually good for you

• Whether yo-yo dieting is really harmful… or if it might have an unexpected benefit

• What women in midlife can start doing today to "Eat to Beat Your Diet"

Dr. William Li is not only an internationally recognized physician and scientist, he is also a bestselling author known for pioneering research on angiogenesis and disease prevention. His groundbreaking work has changed how we understand the body's natural defense systems: immunity, regeneration, and metabolism. He has a TED Talk Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?, with millions of views, and his books Eat to Beat Disease and Eat to Beat Your Diet have inspired millions to use food as medicine. He is a frequent guest on shows like Good Morning America, Dr. Oz, and CNN.
