4/9/26: Interview Part 2 with Dr. William Li - Lessons from the Mediterranean
from Self-Care with Jean · host Jean Edelman
This week's episode is a JOURNEY—literally and figuratively. We're diving deep into Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. William Li, physician, scientist, and bestselling author of Eat to Beat Disease and Eat to Beat Your Diet. Here's what you're about to discover: Dr. Li takes us from the halls of medical school (where nutrition training is shockingly minimal) to the ancient monasteries of Greece, where he lived like it was the 16th century—and even cooked an Easter feast with a canoe paddle in a pot the size of a hot tub. Yes, you read that right. But beyond the incredible stories, Dr. Li shares profound wisdom about HOW we eat being just as important as WHAT we eat. He reveals why the Mediterranean approach—eating as community, savoring every bite, talking about the food instead of our stress—is a lost art we desperately need to reclaim. You'll learn: ✨ The REAL origin story of "food as medicine" (spoiler: Hippocrates never said it!)✨ Why vegetables should never be a "side dish"✨ How to transform your relationship with eating through mindfulness and community✨ The power of seasonal, local, traditional foods for prevention and healing Ready to slow down and savor?
