Doctors are taught all about pharmaceuticals, but not enough about the power of food as medicine. Dr. William Li joins us on this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy to discuss this topic. Dr. Li explains how food compounds interact with the body’s biology and how doctors can prescribe “farmaceutical” alternatives. We’ll also discuss the importance of our microbiomes. Dr. Li even shares how his mother used a food-based immunotherapy approach to heal from cancer. We further address the issue of how to prevent and treat Covid and the symptoms of long-Covid.
