    Dr. Michael Greger, physician, bestselling author of How Not to Die and How Not to Age, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, joins the Visible Voices Podcast to share why what we eat is the single most important decision we make for our health. Drawing on decades of research and over 13,000 scientific citations, Dr. Greger breaks down how a whole food, plant-based diet can prevent, arrest, and even reverse chronic disease, slow the visible signs of aging, reduce systemic inflammation, and add years — even decades — to your life. 00:00 Introduction and Background 03:19 The Transformational Power of Lifestyle Medicine 06:23 Skin Health and the Importance of Sun Protection 10:58 Addressing Social Determinants of Health 14:27 Telomeres and Aging: Can We Reverse the Clock? 23:16 OuttroVVP.mp3 23:53 NEWCHAPTER 23:58 NEWCHAPTER_2 Wish to help the show?

  • Food as Medicine Dr. William Li Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?

    Food as Medicine Dr. William Li Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?
    Mar 11 2026
    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. William Li — internal medicine physician, vascular biologist, and founder of the Angiogenesis Foundation — to talk about something we were never really taught in medical school: how specific foods work at a molecular level to prevent and even fight disease. We get into the science behind everyday foods like black coffee, soy, eggs, and oats — cutting through the myths and the fear-based messaging that has, frankly, done a lot of harm. Will walks us through why soy does not cause breast cancer (and may actually protect against it), why egg quality matters more than cholesterol fear, and what his lab's recent research on oats and wound healing reveals about the untapped potential of whole foods. 00:00 Introduction to Dr. William Li and Angiogenesis 01:06 The Role of Food in Health and Disease 02:36 Debunking Myths: Soy and Breast Cancer 07:30 The Importance of Nutrition Education in Medicine 09:58 The Truth About Eggs and Their Health Benefits 13:21 Recent Discoveries: Oats and Their Bioactive Properties 15:29 Innovative Wound Healing with Avananthramide 17:10 The Role of Diet in Cancer Treatment 17:56 Communicating Science to the Public 21:53 Empowering Patients Through Knowledge 24:00 Exploring Everyday Remedies: Coffee and Wound Healing 25:45 OuttroVVP.mp3 26:22 NEWCHAPTER Wish to help the show?

    Sleep Medicine and Circadian Rhythm Expert Katie Sharkey on Making Your Sleep Visible
    Mar 4 2026
    In this episode of Visible Voices, host Dr. Resa E. Lewiss sits down with sleep medicine physician and circadian rhythm expert Dr. Katie Sharkey — inaugural director of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Rhythms at Wake Forest University School of Medicine — to break down the science of sleep health, insomnia treatment, and women's sleep across the lifespan. They cover why alcohol disrupts sleep quality and worsens sleep apnea, how circadian rhythms regulate mood and mental health, the truth about naps and melatonin, perimenopause and sleep disturbances, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and digital CBT-I apps, wearables like the Oura Ring and the risk of orthosomnia, the glymphatic system's role in brain detox during sleep, AI-powered sleep scoring, and the perinatal sleep crisis driving maternal morbidity. Dr. Sharkey closes with three actionable microskills: keeping a sleep diary, maximizing daytime light exposure, and practicing self-compassion around sleep variability. Wish to help the show?
