Food as Medicine Tips: from Janice




You've hit a topic that I  have been obsessed with for the past couple years.  Food as Medicine... what a hot topic.   I have committed to learning about the science behind happiness on a casual basis for more than a five years.  It led to numerous areas that I am fascinated with and to be my own guinea pig.   I was trying to get into how us older folks can recover (re-building our bodies) and have good energy as I was doing martial art training with younger folks.


It connects with longevity, understanding / managing stress, lifestyles and diet and just LIFE!  So you asked Minh today a very complex yet simple question my dear.

It started when I discovered Dr. Diana Schwarz who is an Endocrinologist for 25 years.  This lecture was from 2014 but she was the one who caught my eye with diabetes.
Survival of the Smartest (part 1) - Dr Diana Schwarzbein

Dr. William Li:  Food as Medicine
The Science of How the Body Heals Itself with William Li, M.D.

Dr. Jason Fung  (too bad, not my uncle!)
The Truth About Calories | Jason Fung | Part 1  (Nov 2020)

Dr. David Sinclair, genetist and author of Lifespan:  Why we age and why we don't have to?

I'll keep it short so start with their youtube lectures and see where the journey to good health gets better with science!

Oh, and if you are lazy then just take these authors to request their books from the librarian.  haha
