The 5-Step System That Will Reset Your Body & Help You Live Longer

from The School of Greatness · host Lewis Howes

Dr. William Li blows my mind with what he discovered about people living past 100. They have four specific gut bacteria that most of us are missing. Here's what hit me hardest: 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, and there's now evidence that dementia might actually start there, not in the brain. We spend two hours diving deep into how your gut bacteria literally text messages your brain (there's one that triggers the same hormone as a passionate kiss!), and Dr. Li revealed the simple changes that can transform your health without expensive biohacking. This conversation changed how I think about longevity. It's not about chasing a number, it's about nurturing the 39 trillion bacteria that determine whether you thrive or just survive.Dr. William Li on YouTubeEat to Beat Disease by Dr. William LiEat to Beat Your Diet by Dr. William LiIn this episode you will:Discover the four specific gut bacteria found in super-centenarians that you can actually cultivate through simple food choices - no expensive supplements requiredTransform your understanding of dementia and brain health by learning how gum disease and gut bacteria might be the hidden triggers we've been missingBreak through the confusion about processed foods by understanding exactly what happens when they enter your body versus whole foods (Dr. Li's symphony analogy is unforgettable)Unlock your body's natural healing systems with Dr. Li's practical 5-step reset plan that costs nothing but can change everythingRevolutionize your sleep by understanding the glymphatic system - your brain's hidden sewer system that only opens when you get deep sleepFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1811For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Dr. Michael Greger – greatness.lnk.to/1583SCDr. Will Bulsiewicz  – greatness.lnk.to/1621SCGlucose Goddess – greatness.lnk.to/1575SC Get more from Lewis! Get my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Get The Greatness Mindset audiobook on SpotifyText Lewis AIYouTubeInstagramWebsiteTiktokFacebookX Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
