“An ode to one of life’s greatest pleasures and a convincing case for a healthy appetite. This book will entertain, educate, devour, and then empower you. Dr. William Li teaches us that we have radically underestimated our own power to transform and restore our health. This is a fascinating story of the power of food, a reflection on what we mean by health, and a practical tool with the 5x5x5 framework to make sure we are around to enjoy life’s pleasures for as long as possible.”

Mark Hyman, M.D.

“EAT TO BEAT DISEASE will completely change the way you think about your body and the choices you make when you grocery shop, cook for your family, or dine out. Read this book from cover to cover if you want to be on top of your game for health, beauty, and fitness, from the inside out.”

“EAT TO BEAT DISEASE is a trailblazing book. Author, world-renowned physician, and medical scientists Dr. William Li explains how we have the power to help control our own health destiny by making decisions that help the body heal itself. Dr. Li describes how more than two hundred foods amplify our body’s defenses, which can result in beneficial health outcomes. EAT TO BEAT DISEASE is a must read — I strongly endorse it.”

Dean Ornish, MD
