We're bombarded by stress every day, including pollution, UV rays, chemicals in food, household and personal care products, as well as physical and emotional challenges. Glutathione is the body's first line of defense against these stressors, helping to strengthen our ability to ward off the free radical attacks and oxidative damage they cause. Pharmacist Dr. Nayan Patel is discussing this nutrient with me and explaining why it's so important.    Key Takeaways To Tune In For: (04:40) - Glutathione and Liver Health   (08:00) - Glutathione's Role in the Immune System   (10:30) - The Unique Delivery Technology   (15:00) - Clinical Observations and Patient Experiences   (19:00) - Glutathione for Specific Conditions   (29:00) - Identifying the Need for Glutathione    Resources talked about in this episode: Website:  https://aurowellness.com/ Social media handles: IG FB TikTok YouTube

Send us a textFatty Liver Alliance President Mike Betel joins Roger Green to discuss his recent completion of the 3rd Annual Glucose Challenge, an event every July where Mike wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device for a month, conducts food experiments, tracks glucose levels and shares all results with his LinkedIn and FattyLiver.ca friends and followers. The conversation starts with Mike sharing the history of the Glucose Challenge. Over its first three years, it has evolved from a means to demonstrate the adverse effects of certain foods on human glucose levels into a shared lesson on how a patient (in this case, Mike) can maintain his blood glucose level between 75 and 140 mg/dl. During the episode, Mike shares some of the tricks he has learned to manage glucose more effectively. The most intriguing one? To manage post-prandial (after-meal) glucose levels, walk for "10, 15, 20, 30" minutes after each meal. An obvious and simple one many of us forget? "You don't have to finish everything put in front of you," and you shouldn't feel guilty about not finishing later. A cautionary note: weight loss via diet or drugs without exercise can lead to a greater loss in muscle or bone mass than in fat, but it does not take much in terms of formal exercise to maintain muscle and bone while dropping fat.Mike also applauds ChatGPT and an array of consumer health devices for giving him the data and analytical support he needed to track key body metrics and know how to act upon them.

The Secret Sauce for Shedding Pounds isn't just about diet or workouts—it's your liver. In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down how your liver impacts fat loss through detox, blood sugar regulation, hormone balance, inflammation reduction, and mindset. If you're stuck in your weight loss journey, your liver may be the key. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS The liver produces antioxidants like glutathione that directly reduce inflammation and support fat metabolism. Hormone balance—especially estrogen and cortisol regulation—depends on liver health. Blood sugar regulation starts with the liver, which stores and processes glucose after meals. Fat cells become inflamed without proper liver function, leading to leptin resistance and weight gain. Sustainable fat loss requires mindset shifts—and liver support helps you regain control.

Send us a textThis conversation is the fourth and final segment of SurfingMASH's April discussion of drug development in memory of Stephen A. Harrison. In addition to co-hosts Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green, panelists include hepatologist and key opinion leader Sven Francque. The discussion focuses on PPARs, genetic medicines, and other emerging drug classes while considering the idea that drug therapies can have an impact on the liver independent of their effect on fibrosis regression. It begins with Sven  discussing his experience as a lead investigator in clinical trials for the pan-PPAR agonist lanifibranor, whose Phase 3 trial is now fully recruited. Sven states that in addition to fibrosis regression, lanifibranor is likely to exhibit other pleiotropic effects, and notes that vascular changes start early in the fibrotic progression process. After Sven elaborates on these effects, Louise asks about the SCD-1 agent Aramchol. This leads to a discussion about the idea that over time, therapy will probably come to incorporate two separate modes of action, with one to treat the metabolic dysfunction and the other to treat specific effects in the liver or, as Jörn puts it, "combining weight-neutral and weight-reducing drugs." This evolves into a discussion of what Louise terms "personal-centric" medicine, or what patient advocate Mike Betel has previously described on SurfingMASH as "tailored medicine."The rest of the conversation predominantly lists other classes of drugs, "safe" mitochondrial uncouplers, genetic medicines, and others. Roger inquires about the FASN inhibitors, which are entering Phase 3 clinical trials. Jörn says that the data appears positive and unique. That said, he and Sven agree we need more data.Louise sounds the closing note for this roundtable by discussing our co-founder, Stephen Harrison, and the energy and enthusiasm he brought to the entire drug development process. The group agrees that Stephen's impact continues to be felt through the MASLD community, even as he is missed by us all.

I never thought I'd be taken down by allergies, but here I am, sounding like a frog underwater. I'm sharing what I've learned from my own experience and how it relates to your dog's health. Seasonal allergy symptoms are often a reflection of what's going on inside the body, especially the liver and lymphatic systems. I dive into how histamine is processed, why liver function matters, and how to support your dog's internal terrain naturally. No Benadryl here — just herbs, immune support, and some real talk from someone currently swimming in mucus. Topics Discussed: What Causes Seasonal Allergies Besides Pollen?

If you're struggling with acne, breakouts, or dull skin, this episode is for you.  In the functional health world, we see skin issues not as isolated surface problems but as signs of deeper internal imbalances. I'll walk you through the five core systems I assess when working with clients dealing with chronic acne. From gut health to hormones, blood sugar, liver detox, and nervous system regulation.  You'll learn how issues like leaky gut, hormonal imbalances, or poor liver detox can manifest as inflammation on your skin. I also dive into the role of insulin resistance, stress, and environmental toxins in making things worse. Instead of quick-fix treatments, we focus on targeted strategies like comprehensive stool and hormone testing, food and supplement protocols, and lifestyle shifts that actually address the root cause.  I'll also share what I look for in test results, what symptoms matter most and what you can start doing now to support clearer skin from the inside out.  Whether your breakouts are linked to PMS, stress, or digestive issues, you'll leave this episode with clarity and next steps. Remember: your skin is a mirror of your internal health and healing is possible.   Time Stamps: (1:20) MURPH Hangover (3:12) Fortunate Teenager Years (9:32) #1: Your Gut Health (13:57) Coming Off Unnecessary Medication (14:46) #2: Hormonal Imbalances (19:02) #3: Blood Sugar and Insulin (22:06) #4: Inflammation and Liver Health (27:07) #5: Stress and Nervous System (29:32) Questions To Ask Yourself (31:57) Reach Out If You Need Help---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Why Liver Health is the Key to Aging Stronger | Siggi Clavien, Founder of The Liver Clinic & de-liver-ance® | The Coach Debbie Potts Show

The liver is one of the hardest working organs in the human body performing hundreds of critical functions necessary for optimal health. It's also important to have the liver function properly during and after cancer treatment. On this show, Lise and Karolyn will describe how to support the liver so it can help you get through treatment and thrive after your cancer diagnosis.Five To Thrive Live is broadcast live Tuesdays at 7PM ET and Music on W4CS Radio – The Cancer Support Network (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).Five To Thrive Live Podcast is also available on Talk 4 Media (www.talk4media.com), Talk 4 Podcasting (www.talk4podcasting.com), iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, Audible, and over 100 other podcast outlets.

Your liver plays a critical role in your overall health, but signs of trouble can be easy to miss. In this episode, Nurse Doza uncovers the early warning signals of liver dysfunction, from chronic fatigue to weight gain, and explains how your diet, sleep, and stress levels impact liver health. Learn practical steps to support your liver naturally and optimize your well-being. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Persistent fatigue is often a sign of liver dysfunction, as the liver regulates energy metabolism. Poor sleep quality, including sleep apnea, is linked to an increased risk of liver disease. Gut health and liver function are closely connected—irregular bowel movements may indicate liver issues. Cognitive decline and brain fog can be early indicators of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Weight gain and metabolic imbalances are often tied to liver health and insulin resistance. FEATURED PRODUCT Liver Boost – Packed with essential nutrients to support optimal liver function, Liver Boost promotes detoxification, enhances bile flow, and helps combat oxidative stress.

A reversible liver condition is the fastest growing cause of liver transplantation in Western countries: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease—or MASLD—affects patients worldwide. It's characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the liver and can progress into more severe forms of liver disease, potentially resulting in fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver failure.Risk factors for developing liver disease include obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Genetics, unhealthy dietary habits, and a sedentary lifestyle can also play significant roles in its development. Diagnosis typically involves imaging examinations along with blood tests that assess liver function and rule out other causes of liver disease.Disease management focuses on lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise, though new medications are now being prescribed to slow and potentially reverse this condition. Regular monitoring of disease progression is also crucial for successful treatment.In this episode, experts in the field of liver disease address the progress happening in the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Host Matt Gee, Director of Collaborations and External Engagement at Siemens Healthineers, is joined by Dr. Michelle Long, International Medical Vice President of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis at Novo Nordisk and Director of Clinical Research for the Section of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Boston University; Dr. Arun Sanyal, Professor of Medicine, Physiology, and Molecular Pathology in the Division of Gastroenterology at Virginia Commonwealth University; and Michael Betel, President and Founder of the Fatty Liver Alliance.What you'll learn in this episode:One of the biggest obstacles to diagnosing MASLD before it progresses stems from the lack of visibility and awareness of the diseaseMASLD is a reversible disease when caught in timeMASLD is more complex than a patient's diet or lifestyle—metabolic dysfunction plays a role Non-invasive testing has become an important tool in advancing patient careConnect with Matt GeeLinkedIn Connect with Michelle LongLinkedInConnect with Arun SanyalVCU.eduConnect with Michael BetelLinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

Vitamin A toxicity is real, widespread, and behind many of today's chronic illnesses. And that's just the start.In this episode, he breaks down why your liver is the real MVP of your health and why most detox advice is dead wrong. You'll learn how bile works, what's clogging your detox pathways, and why seemingly healthy choices (like tomatoes, multivitamins, or even certain labs) might be leading you further away from healing."Do I consider vitamin A just a toxin? Yes. Do toxins have effects? Absolutely." ~ Dr. Garrett SmithAbout Dr. Garrett Smith:Dr. Garrett Smith is a licensed naturopathic physician who began his practice in 2006.

To support muscle growth in menopause, you need to understand the critical role of liver health.  If you're struggling with muscle loss and fat gain, your liver is an essential player in the game.  Stick with me as we uncover actionable strategies for boosting liver health and achieving muscle growth in menopause and beyond during this moment in time post pandemic.    My Guest: Sara Banta is a certified Dietary Supplement Professional, member of the National Association of Nutritional Professionals, and founder of Accelerated Health Products, recognized as the Most Innovative Supplement Company. Sara pioneers innovative solutions to support holistic well-being. She empowers others to achieve optimal health through supplements, DNA-based nutrition, and lifestyle changes.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:10:53] How is the liver related to muscle growth in menopause? [00:20:31] How can certain proteins help you reach fitness goals, while others may actually get in the way? [00:22:53] Why are essential amino acids crucial for supporting muscle building? [00:31:21] How can you take care of your liver to help with muscle gain and fat loss? [00:40:20] What are the side effects of GLP-1? [00:42:50] What are safe alternatives to ozempic?   Liver Health's Role in Menopausal Muscle Growth Roles: detox, bile production, hormone regulation, protein metabolism. Chemicals and toxins overload the liver, impairing fat and protein processing.   Protein Intake Challenges & Solutions Protein intake alone isn't enough without liver support. Women need more protein with age, not less - 1g protein per pound of body weight. Wild animal protein, like bison and venison, are most nutrient dense. Warning against mold and hidden toxins in common protein powders.   Essential Amino Acid Supplements Key ingredients: HMB, Synactive, OKG, TMG - aimed at absorption and recovery Benefits: prevent muscle breakdown, enhance gut health, better protein absorption.   Key Takeaways for Muscle Growth in Menopause: Liver function is foundational for hormone balance, energy, and muscle development during and after menopause. Most women are under-consuming quality protein and not absorbing it effectively due to liver or gut issues. Supplements can be powerful, but they must be clean, effective, and well-formulated—many aren't. Shift your mindset: It's not about shrinking your body but about strengthening it with muscle. Bloat, brain fog, fatigue, and poor recovery may all link back to impaired liver detox and insufficient amino acids. Whole, wild animal proteins are superior due to nutrient density and bioavailability.   Connect with Sara: Get your Accelerated Health Products - Liver Care & Aminos here!

In this episode of the Gutsy Health Podcast, Dr. Rodgers and Juanique Grover unpack the powerful connection between liver health and hormone balance — and why true healing starts far upstream. They explain the "order of healing" (mindset → mitochondria → gut → liver → hormones) and why treating hormone issues without addressing liver health leads to more problems down the line. You'll learn how CIRS impacts mitochondria and hormone production, why the liver is crucial for hormone detoxification, and how sugar, insulin resistance, and gallbladder dysfunction tie into it all. They also break down why traditional lab ranges often miss liver stress, why cholesterol is a key liver marker, and how healing your liver is foundational for restoring energy, brain function, fertility, and overall vitality.Helpful LinksTake the Root Cause Quiz to uncover hidden imbalances.Explore the Liver Reset Program to deeply support liver health.Free Detox Class: https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/detoxKey TakeawaysHormones are a symphony; imbalance creates dysfunction.True healing order: mindset → mitochondria → gut → liver → hormones.The liver is essential for detoxifying and converting hormones.CIRS severely disrupts mitochondrial energy and hormone balance.Signs of liver dysfunction: fatigue, mood swings, skin issues, heavy periods, brain fog.Proper nutrient absorption is critical for liver and hormone health.Cholesterol (made in the liver) is the backbone for hormone production.High LDL and insulin resistance often signal liver distress.High fructose consumption (especially from processed foods) damages liver function.Gallbladder health is critical for fat digestion and hormonal support.Post-gallbladder removal: ox bile supplementation is important.Healing liver and gut health leads to natural hormone balance — without relying solely on bioidentical hormones.Optimal lab ranges (not just "normal") are key for assessing liver and hormone health.Episode TitlesThe Hormonal Symphony: Finding BalanceHealing Order: Mindset to Liver HealthLiver's Role in Hormonal HarmonyCholesterol: The Hormone PrecursorCIRS: The Hidden Factor in Hormone HealthChapters00:00 — The Symphony of Hormones03:01 — Understanding the Order of Healing06:10 — The Role of the Liver in Hormone Health09:02 — Cholesterol, Hormones, and Liver Function12:06 — CIRS and Its Impact on Hormones14:56 — Symptoms of Liver and Hormone Dysfunction17:57 — The Importance of Balance in Hormone Treatment23:08 — Understanding Liver Enzymes and GGT26:04 — The Role of Insulin and Cholesterol in Liver Health30:48 — The Impact of Sugar and Fructose on Liver Function35:10 — Recognizing Liver Stress and Functionality37:39 — Gallbladder Health and Its Importance46:01 — Balancing Hormones for Optimal HealthLove what you're hearing?If you enjoyed this episode of the Gutsy Health Podcast, please take a moment to rate and review the show!

The Missing Piece in Your Midlife Health: Why Your Liver Deserves More LoveYou're doing all the right things—eating well, moving your body, prioritizing sleep—but if your liver isn't functioning optimally, your metabolism, hormones, and energy levels could still be working against you.Most of us don't give our liver much thought until something goes wrong, but this powerhouse organ is working 24/7 to detoxify your body, regulate blood sugar, balance hormones, and support fat metabolism. And yet, 30-40% of adults—many of them women in midlife—are silently struggling with fatty liver disease without even realizing it. Why? Because liver issues often show up as fatigue, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, poor sleep, and increased inflammation long before standard lab work sounds the alarm.Dr. Supriya Joshi, a liver specialist and gastroenterologist, is back to shed light on why midlife women are at a higher risk of liver dysfunction and how taking care of this vital organ can have a ripple effect on everything from weight loss to longevity. Did you know that postmenopausal women are twice as likely to develop fatty liver compared to their younger counterparts?

In today's episode of Barbell Shrugged the team digs into liver health, biomarkers, and optimization. The liver is a remarkable organ that performs numerous essential functions necessary for our overall well-being. Maintaining a healthy liver is vital, and understanding the role of biomarkers and optimization can help us achieve that goal. Our lifestyle choices significantly impact liver health. Unhealthy habits such as a processed food-heavy diet, excessive alcohol consumption, sedentary behavior, and chronic stress can damage the liver. On the other hand, adopting a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and moderate alcohol consumption promotes optimal liver function. Biomarkers play a crucial role in assessing liver health. These measurable indicators, including liver enzymes like ALT and AST, bilirubin levels, and imaging techniques like ultrasound and MRI, provide valuable insights into liver function and overall health. By monitoring these biomarkers, healthcare professionals can identify inflammation, damage, and diseases such as fatty liver disease or viral hepatitis at an early stage, enabling timely intervention and prevention of further damage. Diet is a key factor in optimizing liver health. A nutrient-rich diet low in processed foods, added sugars, and unhealthy fats supports liver function. Foods such as leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats like avocados and olive oil provide necessary nutrients and antioxidants for the liver's detoxification processes. Supplements and herbs can also aid liver health. Milk thistle, containing silymarin with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, has been used for centuries for its hepatoprotective effects. Other supplements like N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and turmeric have shown potential benefits in supporting liver health. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new regimen to ensure personalized guidance. Alcohol consumption significantly impacts liver health. Excessive and chronic alcohol consumption leads to inflammation, fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis. Practicing responsible drinking by limiting alcohol intake and incorporating alcohol-free days is crucial for liver protection. Mental well-being is intertwined with liver health. Chronic stress and poor mental health can affect liver function. Implementing stress management techniques such as meditation, exercise, and seeking support from loved ones or professionals can reduce stress levels and support liver health. In conclusion, optimizing liver health through lifestyle modifications, biomarker monitoring, dietary adjustments, responsible alcohol consumption, and stress management is essential for overall well-being. Prioritizing a healthy lifestyle and seeking professional guidance can make a significant difference in supporting the liver's vital functions. Remember, a healthy liver leads to a healthier life.
