About

Most people are trying to piece their lives together in a hundred different places. A podcast for mental health. An app for fitness. A yoga class for their soul. It’s too much—and not enough. Mighty Pursuit is where it all connects—mind, body, and spirit. We create long-form conversations with scientists, celebrities, spiritual thinkers, and everyday people—exploring what it means to live well in a fragmented world. This is more than a podcast. It’s a space to reconnect the parts of life that were never meant to be separate. Because when they come back together, everything starts to make sense. Go deeper at mightypursuit.com

Video Description

Dr. William Li is a renowned cancer researcher, physician and scientist, who is also the author of two New York Times bestselling books – Eat to Beat Disease & Eat To Beat Your Diet. Dr. Li initially rose to fame in 2010 for his TED Talk, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?”, which has racked up over 11 million views. His groundbreaking research has led to the development of more than 40 new medical treatments that impact care for more than 70 diseases. The relevance of his work cannot be understated, given that cancer rates are up 79% amongst young people. So in this conversation, we review the latest data, how cancer works, and the defense systems in the body that protect us against cancer. We then get into how we can actually prevent cancer from manifesting in our body through food and other lifestyle interventions.
