Listen Later

What if everything you thought you knew about metabolism was wrong?

In this episode, world-renowned physician, scientist, and bestselling author Dr. William Li shares groundbreaking insights from his new book Eat to Beat Your Diet on how to activate your body’s “inner metabolism” to burn fat, optimize weight, and extend healthspan.

Dr. Li unpacks the latest science on brown fat, visceral fat, gut microbiome, and GLP-1 hormones, revealing how food—not just willpower or exercise—can become your most powerful metabolic medicine.

We explore:

  • Why metabolism doesn’t slow with age (and the real culprit behind weight gain)
  • The surprising role of brown fat in calorie burning and longevity
  • How specific foods and gut bacteria can switch on fat-burning pathways
  • The truth about GLP-1 drugs and natural alternatives that work
  • Practical strategies to harness your metabolism for long-term health


This is your science-backed guide to rewriting the rules of fat, food, and metabolism.

Ready to unlock your body’s inner ability to burn fat and thrive?
