Chia Seed Alone Doesn't Work – Add This to Kill Inflammation | Dr. William Li

In this thirty‑minute deep dive with Dr. William Li, we explore why simply adding chia seeds to your diet is often not enough—and what you must pair them with to truly reduce inflammation and unlock metabolic resilience. We go beyond surface‑level advice and investigate the root causes of inflammation: insulin dysregulation, liver overload, gut barrier dysfunction, hormonal chaos, and mitochondrial stress.
You’ll learn how the right nutrient pairing can activate enzyme pathways, support the liver, nourish the gut microbiome, and influence hormone signals so that the raw materials in chia seeds become powerful agents of healing rather than passive ingredients.
Whether your goals are improved energy, better weight balance, clearer brain function, or healthy aging—this talk reveals a strategy rooted in physiology and functional medicine.
👉 Watch, understand what’s really happening inside your body, and apply the science in your day‑to‑day meals and lifestyle.
