Dr. William Li: Can Diet DAMAGE Your Blood Brain Barrier?

Video Description

*** Dr. William Li is back on Live Well, Be Well! Mental health is a huge focus for me, and with good reason. Dementia is on the rise, and many people can resonate with the brain fog that comes as a consequence of our fast-paced world. But - did you ever think that being picky with food might mess with your mental health? Dr. William Li breaks down this new research for us, as we chat about how our eating is so closely linked to our brain health. It's not just about food though - we get into the importance of moving your body, hanging out with friends, and that all-important thing called sleep. We also discuss ways to prevent dementia, with Dr. Li sharing some hopeful insights. We also discuss the less well-known glymphatic system, which is like a brain car wash that only works when you're snoozing. Dr. William Li is a world-renowned physician, scientist, and author. His groundbreaking research has impacted over 70 diseases, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. He's one of the most sought-after medical experts in the field today. Let me know what you think, and don't forget to live well and be well! Sarah Ann ✌️🍄 Love what you’re hearing? My small ask is to please rate and review Live Well Be Well.
