4/2/26: Interview Part 1 with Dr. William Li - The Science of Mindful Eating
from Self-Care with Jean · host Jean Edelman
I am so excited to share this very special conversation with you! In this first episode of a four-part series, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. William Li — physician, scientist, and bestselling author of Eat to Beat Disease and Eat to Beat Your Diet — for a conversation that I truly believe will change the way you think about food forever. 🌿 Dr. Li and I connected at the opening of the Edelman Fossil Park Museum in Mantua, New Jersey, and from the moment we met, I knew we were aligned in one powerful belief: food is medicine. In this episode, Dr. Li walks us through something so simple yet so profound — how we eat matters just as much as what we eat. We explore: 🥗 Why nobody ever teaches us how to eat 🧠 The science of eating slowly 🫀 The power of chewing your food and how it activates your mouth's microbiome to produce nitric oxide — naturally lowering blood pressure and releasing your body's own healing stem cells 🌍 Lessons from the world's healthiest cultures, including the Mediterranean and the Blue Zones, and what their traditional eating habits can teach us 🥣 Why savoring your food is not just a pleasure — it's a biological necessity Get your pen and paper ready, dear friend, because Dr. Li drops so much wisdom in this conversation. This is just the tip of the iceberg, and I cannot wait for you to hear what's coming in Parts 2, 3, and 4! Remember — life comes from us and life is for us. Food is medicine. Let's love ourselves, love each other, and start by savoring every single bite. 💛 Tune in next week for Part 2, where Dr. Li takes us on a personal journey to the Mediterranean and a 16th-century monastery kitchen to share how food as medicine became his life's mission.
