Summary of Transcript:
Dr. William Lee recently discussed how health is not the absence of Disease but the result of our body’s hardwired defense systems. These five defense systems are angiogenesis (blood vessels), stem cells, microbiome (gut bacteria), hormones, and immunity. These five systems help lower inflammation, optimize metabolism, regulate hormones, and fight Cancer. Eating the wrong things can disrupt the gut, so it is important to eat the right foods to support these defense systems and maintain good health.

Uncovering the Power of Health Defense Systems with Dr. William Li
Too often, it’s thought that health is for the rich or privileged that can afford high-quality care. Still, when researchers and physicians share how easy and accessible better health is for everyone, it’s time to pay attention. Dr. William Li is an internal medicine doctor from the Harvard Medical School Faculty that studies angiogenesis and is the author of the best-selling book, Eat To Beat Disease. In this episode, Dr. Li breaks down the 5 natural body defenses protecting you at all times, even right now, and exactly how powerful foods are that can prevent Disease in your body.
Defining Real Health
Dr. Li begins by defining true health. He explains that most people think that not being sick is the definition of health, but this is problematic. He states that health is not just the absence of Disease; it results from our body’s hardwired defense systems, the health defense systems that we’re born with.
5 Health Defense Systems
Dr. Li then explains the 5 health defense systems that our bodies possess. The five systems are angiogenesis, the microbiome, the immune system, cellular profiling, and the body’s natural detoxification system. He explains that these systems are designed to protect us from Disease and to help us maintain our health.
Hiding Cancer in the Body
Dr. Li then explains how Cancer is hidden in the body. He explains that cancer cells can hide in the body and not cause harm until the body’s health defense systems are weakened. He explains that strengthening the body’s health defense systems can reduce the risk of Cancer.
Medicinal Food Power
Dr. Li then explains the power of medicinal foods. He explains that certain foods can help strengthen the body’s health defense systems. He explains that organic coffee has more bioactive than pesticide-treated coffee because the insects, and the natural things in the environment, cause it to create more natural health defenses.
Eating to Beat Disease
Dr. Li concludes by explaining that eating to beat the Disease is not just picking a particular illness and trying to figure out the recipe for the one size fits. He explains that it’s a journey we have our whole lives and that we should strive to eat various healthy foods to strengthen our body’s health defense systems.
Dr. William Li is a pioneer in health and wellness research, and his insights into the power of health defense systems are invaluable. Understanding and strengthening our body’s natural defense systems can reduce our disease risk and maintain our health.
