The 5-Step System That Will Reset Your B...

About this episode

My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!

Dr. William Li blows my mind with what he discovered about people living past 100. They have four specific gut bacteria that most of us are missing. Here's what hit me hardest: 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, and there's now evidence that dementia might actually start there, not in the brain. We spend two hours diving deep into how your gut bacteria literally text messages your brain (there's one that triggers the same hormone as a passionate kiss!), and Dr. Li revealed the simple changes that can transform your health without expensive biohacking. This conversation changed how I think about longevity. It's not about chasing a number, it's about nurturing the 39 trillion bacteria that determine whether you thrive or just survive.
