What if the secret to living well past 100 lies within your gut? In this eye-opening conversation, renowned physician and researcher Dr. William Li reveals groundbreaking discoveries about the connection between gut bacteria and exceptional longevity. I was fascinated to learn that scientists have identified four specific bacteria that flourish in the digestive systems of “super-agers” – people who live healthily beyond 110 years old. Dr. Li shares his unique approach to understanding disease through common denominators like blood vessels and gut health, explaining how our microbiome communicates directly with our immune system, brain, and virtually every bodily function. Beyond the technical research, he offers incredibly practical, accessible steps anyone can take to restore gut health, reset their metabolism, and potentially extend both lifespan and healthspan – no expensive supplements or complicated regimens required.
