The Wellness Table™️

#16 Can we reactivate our stem cells & reverse disease with diet & lifestyle choices?

Dr. Cheryl Bothwell DCN. RDN

Among the major superpowers of our stem cells is their ability to regenerate and self-renew.   Stem cells can also sense damaged cells and tissues and send signals that promote self-healing.

Dr. Cheryl Bothwell reviews Dr. William Li’s Book on
Eat to Beat Disease: The Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself.   I will explore what Dr. Li says about what foods &  lifestyle choices enhance, and impair, our body’s regenerative abilities.   You will get the full list of which foods made Dr. Li’s list for being scientifically proven to activate our body’s stem cells. 

William Li, MD, is a world-renowned physician, scientist, speaker, and author of Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself.   He is best known for leading the Angiogenesis Foundation. His groundbreaking work has impacted more than 70 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity.  He is an author of over 100 scientific publications in leading journals such as Science, the New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and more, Dr. Li has served on the faculties of Harvard, Tufts, and Dartmouth Medical School.


It is very exciting for me to see prominent physicians like William Li, MD, speak out on the power of food as medicine.    And I wanted to review Dr. Li’s book and explore his latest research and find more answers on how we can REVERSE DISEASE with food and lifestyle choices.    It is very controversial in traditional health care that we can REVERSE Disease.  We all agree we can prevent or delay the onset of disease with diet and lifestyle choices, BUT REVERSAL of DISEASE is another matter.     

I am an expert in nutrition medicine, a doctor of clinical nutrition and registered dietitian, BUT most of all a highly driven grieving mom who lost my 17 year old to Cancer and on a relentless mission to learn more about healing and reversing disease with food and lifestyle choices...  AND of course share it all with you on this podcast.
