Dec 02, 2025Or, listen on Spotify
In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff Krasno sits down with renowned physician and scientist Dr. William Li, whose pioneering work has shaped modern understanding of food as medicine. Dr. Li illuminates how our gut, our microbes, and our daily choices profoundly shape our lifespan and healthspan, offering a science-backed path to living not only longer but better.
Dr. Li breaks down groundbreaking findings on super-agers, the four standout gut bacteria that appear in people who reach one hundred and beyond, and the food patterns that nourish the microbiome so it can nourish us back.
They also cover the jaw-dropping story of Dr. Li’s mother, who went from stage four cancer to stage zero in nine weeks after targeted shifts to her gut microbiome and immunotherapy support. This landmark case became a window into what the new science of longevity makes possible.
