Dr. William Li, founder of the Angiogenesis Foundation and author of Eat to Beat Your Diet, discusses how food and lifestyle influence cancer, aging, obesity, and chronic disease. He covers the effects of sugar, alcohol, poor sleep, stress, visceral fat, and microplastics, while highlighting the benefits of green tea, gut health, fasting, and nutrient-dense foods. The interview emphasizes disease prevention and the concept that food can be medicine.

Prebiotics and probiotics work together to support a healthy gut microbiome. Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms found in fermented foods, while prebiotics are the fibers that feed them. Together, they help support digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and gut health. A diet rich in both can help maintain microbial balance, while deficiencies may contribute to digestive discomfort and poor gut function. Small organisms, big impact.

Our grandparents never talked about the gut microbiome, but their diets naturally supported it through fresh foods, naturally occurring microorganisms, and fermented foods. Today, processed foods and depleted soils may contribute to microbiome imbalances. Because the microbiome helps break down food, absorb nutrients, and communicate with the brain, disruptions may affect cravings and nutrient absorption. This article explores probiotics and highlights several popular options

Fermented foods are often mistaken as high in carbs, but fermentation actually reduces sugars and starches as beneficial bacteria convert them into lactic acid and probiotics. This lowers carb content while improving digestion, nutrient absorption, and gut health. Foods like kombucha, yogurt, aged cheeses, and fermented vegetables become more digestible and nutrient-dense over time. The longer they ferment, the lower the carbs and the deeper the flavor—supporting a healthy, l

A successful keto transition starts before ketosis. The Pre-Keto Sugar Detox Food Plan is a 1–2 week metabolic reset that reduces sugar dependence, lowers inflammation, supports the liver, and stabilizes blood sugar. By removing processed foods and easing carbs gradually—while focusing on whole foods and digestion—you prepare your metabolism to shift smoothly into fat-based fuel, reducing cravings, fatigue, and early burnout.

This guide frames nutrition through metabolic therapy rather than dieting. It explains how industrial foods—sugars, refined carbs, seed oils, additives, and ultra-processed products—drive inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic disease. Emphasis is placed on removing harmful foods, cleaning pantries and freezers, and reducing environmental friction. Proper ketogenic eating is presented as a therapeutic tool that restores metabolic balance, healing, and long-term health.

This blueprint teaches graceful aging as stewardship: hydrate consistently, eat antioxidant-rich whole foods, radically reduce sugar to slow glycation, prioritize restorative sleep, move daily to preserve muscle and balance, manage stress through peaceful routines, embrace healthy fats for brain and hormones, and strengthen gut health with probiotics and prebiotics. These daily choices reduce inflammation, protect cells, and support vitality as the body was designed.

Many U.S. food additives enter the market through the GRAS loophole, allowing manufacturers to self-declare chemicals as safe without mandatory FDA review or disclosure. Originally meant for traditional foods, GRAS now covers synthetic additives often banned abroad. These chemicals can disrupt gut health, inflammation, and metabolism. With new nutrition guidance and dye bans, closing the GRAS loophole is the next critical step.

The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines mark a clear reset in U.S. nutrition policy. They move away from nutrient counting and low-fat dogma toward real, whole foods as the foundation of health. Ultra-processed foods and added sugar are explicitly discouraged, protein is prioritized at every meal, healthy fats from whole foods are welcomed, and alcohol guidance is tightened. The focus shifts to food quality, satiety, metabolic and gut health, with system-wide implications beyond the

The MyKetoPal Detox Food Plan is a restorative nutrition reset designed to reduce digestive stress and support metabolic healing. Chef Janine recommends following this plan for 2–3 weeks prior to transitioning into a serious ketogenic lifestyle for best results. By removing processed foods, refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, and industrial oils—and replacing them with whole foods, clean proteins, traditional fats, vegetables, fruits, and probiotics—the body regains balanc

He shares diet tips, plant remedies, and habits for long-term wellness.

Berberine is a plant-based compound used in traditional medicine for centuries. Found in plants like barberry and goldenseal, it may help with infections, inflammation, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, PCOS, and cancer. Though promising, it can cause side effects and interact with medications like metformin. Its long-term safety is unproven, and dosage varies. Always consult a healthcare provider before use.

Chef Janine’s keto Chicken Kale Salad blends savory herb-roasted chicken, organic kale, roasted squash, grass-fed feta, and a monk fruit-sweetened mustard-orange vinaigrette. Inspired by health food pioneers, it offers bold flavor and balanced nutrition with a low-carb twist, perfect for brunch, lunch, or light dinners.

Your digestive system provides important clues about your overall health. This practical guide explains how to evaluate bowel transit time, bowel movement frequency, stool appearance, stool color, and common digestive symptoms using simple at-home observations. Learn what normal looks like, recognize potential warning signs, and discover when it may be time to seek medical advice for a healthier gut and better overall wellness.

Bone broth is a zero-carb, nutrient-rich liquid made by simmering animal bones and connective tissue for 24–36 hours. It supports hydration, gut health, joint health, and muscle repair—perfect for keto and fasting. Packed with collagen, electrolytes, and amino acids, it can be sipped warm, used in soups, or added to recipes. Chicken, beef, and pork broths offer unique benefits. Add vinegar to boost mineral extraction when making it at home.

Cancer can feel overwhelming, but we are not powerless. By nourishing the body with healing foods, detoxifying toxins, boosting immunity, and embracing natural therapies, we create an environment where cancer struggles to thrive. With lifestyle changes, emotional healing, and a supportive community, true strength and resilience emerge—making the journey one of hope, empowerment, and renewal.

Food sensitivity testing may help identify foods worth evaluating during an elimination diet. The Everlywell Food Sensitivity Test measures IgG reactivity to 96 foods and provides results ranging from normal to high reactivity. While it is not a diagnostic tool for food allergies, celiac disease, or lactose intolerance, it may offer useful insights when interpreted with the guidance of a physician, registered dietitian, or nutrition professional.

Kombucha is a probiotic-rich, lightly fermented tea known for its detoxifying, digestive, and immune-supporting benefits. Made from tea, sugar, and a SCOBY, it produces acids, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria that support gut health, reduce inflammation, and help prevent chronic diseases.

Pistachios are nutrient-dense nuts rich in fiber, protein, healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They may support better sleep due to their natural melatonin content, help maintain healthy blood sugar and blood pressure levels, support cardiovascular and digestive health, and promote satiety for weight management. Their prebiotic fiber nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, while their antioxidants help combat oxidative stress and support overall wellness.
