Don't wait for fatty liver symptoms to address your liver health! Find out what to eat for a fatty liver and discover the #1 superfood for liver health that can remove fat from the liver naturally. NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) is being changed to MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis), which essentially means a fatty liver with inflammation. Doctors treat this condition with medications and never truly address the root cause.NAFLD is often blamed on “too much nutrition”, but what does this mean? It's not simply over-nutrition that causes a fatty liver. It's the overconsumption of sugar, starches, and seed oils. Industrial sugars like high-fructose corn syrup are especially problematic for the liver.Fatty liver symptoms include fatigue, pain or discomfort in the right upper quadrant, cognitive problems, yellow skin, hot and itchy feet, and extra weight around the midsection.The medical field has used observational studies to claim that red meat, organ meats, liver, and eggs cause a fatty liver. However, observational studies can not determine causation! Research has shown that if you go on a low-carb, ketogenic diet, you can decrease 50% of the fat from your liver in a matter of weeks! To improve liver health and remove fat from the liver naturally, add the following liver detox foods to your diet:1. Grass-fed red meat offers high-quality protein with vital nutrients such as zinc, copper, and CoQ10. It also supports healthy blood sugar levels. 2. Eggs have zero carbs and are a rich source of choline, which helps protect you from developing a fatty liver.3. Cruciferous vegetables, especially when fermented, help the liver with detoxification and also help to remove fat. 4. Wild-caught salmon and other wild-caught fatty fish are a very nutritious source of protein and are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce liver inflammation. 5. Broccoli sprouts contain sulforaphane, which has potent anti-cancer properties and helps detoxify the liver. They can also decrease A1C to stabilize blood sugar. 6. The #1 food for liver health is grass-fed liver! Beef and lamb liver are low-carb, high in choline, nutrient-dense, and contain many trace minerals, vital in reducing liver fat and inflammation.

One out of four Americans has Fatty Liver Disease and Doesn't Even Know It. Are you one? with Phil George Series #3: NAFLD ( non alcoholic fatty liver disease) at least one out of 4 Americans have it and don't know they do until they have serious liver damage that can result in Cirrhosis or liver cancer + I can relate this to metabolic syndrome and excess carbs and as always I can explain “Mechanism or Action” or how you get this “silent Killer” Bio: Phil has spent most of his adult life educating and helping clients live a healthier, more fulfilling life.

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. Give your liver the support it needs to function at its best.

In this episode, Nurse Doza reveals 5 things Western medicine cannot help you with—critical areas where prescriptions and procedures fall short. From liver health to depression, this episode explores natural, functional approaches you need to understand to take charge of your health.   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Fatty liver affects 1 in 4 people and is almost entirely ignored in traditional care. Thyroid dysfunction is commonly misdiagnosed due to outdated lab standards. Dementia has nutritional and lifestyle roots that are rarely addressed.

I am the Mom of one amazing daughter. I am a Speech Language Pathologist who specialises in feeding disorders. I became an Intermittent fast in February of 2019 after being diagnosed with prediabetes and NAFLD. Both sides of my family have generational metabolic disorders.

La stéatose hépatique non alcoolique et la NASH – désormais renommée MASH pour Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis – sont des maladies du foie métabolique silencieuses mais de plus en plus fréquentes en consultation de médecine générale. Elles sont le reflet d'un syndrome métabolique sous-jacent (obésité, insulino-résistance, diabète de type 2, dyslipidémie, HTA) et peuvent évoluer vers une fibrose hépatique sévère, voire une cirrhose et un carcinome hépatocellulaire.

Do you feel you've been on every diet under the sun, yet without any lasting results to show for it? Somehow, the weight loss never seems to stick and you end up gaining all of it back, and then some. That was my guest Lyana's experience and it felt incredibly frustrating. Not only that, her health seemed to be headed in the wrong direction too, and it was a shock for her to receive new diagnoses like diabetes and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.   But instead of doing keto, she decided to re-try a plant-based diet, and went full into a whole food, plant-based diet with no oil. Listen in to Part 2 of my interview with Lyana to hear more about her amazing health transformation, and the positive health benefits her husband has also enjoyed. Don't miss too the important key takeaway piece of advice Lyana gives us about losing weight on a plant-based diet!     Contact -> healthnow@plantnourished.com Learn -> www.plantnourished.com Join -> www.plantnourished.com/ppltcourse Connect in the Facebook Community -> www.bit.ly/pbdietsuccess Apply -> Free Rapid Health Transformation Call: https://bit.ly/plantnourished Free Resource -> Quick Start Grocery Guide for Plant-Based Essentials: www.plantnourished.com/groceryguide     Have a question about plant-based diets that you would like answered on the Plant Based Eating Made Easy Podcast?

My interview guest Lyana S. never wanted to go on prescription meds. Yet, health issues started piling up, one after another, from her late thirties onwards. First it was high blood pressure, then high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. Then finally diabetes and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Add to this a strong family history of medical issues, with her mother suffering from diabetes, kidney failure, then a severe stroke and paralysis. It's clear the odds aren't stacked in her favor.   Lyana knew things need to change, but how? That's when she began a whole food, no-oil, plant-based diet, and her health changed dramatically within the next few months.

Food Expo West (10:00) Impossible, the vegan “meat” brand, is introducing “steak bites.” People have an impression that “plant-based” is healthier. Vinnie relays a story of getting inspired to get outside. (20:20) You can get outdoors or prepare a good meal with just a little planning and foresight. (31:00) They share some ideas and examples. There is a system of food classification called NOVA Classification. (38:00) It ranks the levels of different processed foods. They discuss what companies financially support this system and the apparent motivation behind the opposition to being classified; consequently, it's an example of “prisoners running the asylum.” An 18-year-old is taking on Big Food in a lawsuit. (48:00) His claim emphasized how ultra-processed foods are marketed to kids similar to cigarette marketing in the 1960s and 1970s. He's been diagnosed with NAFLD and type 2 diabetes at age 16. Chris mentions some of the arguments presented by Big Food, on a website called foodprocessingfacts.org (53:00) Chris reads from a list of favorite vegan snacks, according to VegNews—almost all of them are chemical shitstorms. (57:45) You need to pay attention to what you put in your body. (1:03:00) The struggle is real: processed foods are all around us and marketed as quick, easy, and palatable.

(2:00) Laura and Matt are among several reputable doctors who are refuting the nutritional guidelines for children by the American Academy of Pediatrics. (22:30) The AAP thinks a low carb diet in children is nutritionally deficient and can cause disordered eating. Multiple reputable doctors have spoken out against the AAP's recommendations as many studies refute the AAP's claims. The current "standard of care" can increase blood sugar in children. (24:00) The use of keto/low-carb is an option for therapeutic purposes. (31:00) Jim Abrams and the Charlie Foundation are an example of the ketogenic diet being used for treatment. James shares the current health statistics for children: 20% are obese, 30% are prediabetic, and 20% also have fatty liver disease. NAFLD is now the leading cause of cirrhosis of the liver. (36:30) Vinnie reviews some of the history of various health commissions over the decade. (42:00) They review the current guidelines for Type 1 diabetes. (47:30) Laura discusses the challenges of the recommended guidelines on kids with Type 1 diabetes, including a reduced lifespan. Reducing carb intake can reduce the amount of insulin needed per dose.

Episode #193 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Are home-made smoothies and protein drinks helpful or detrimental as meal replacement when trying to lose weight or reverse type two diabetes? If so, what kind would you recommend? (05:14) Is it acceptable for someone 4'10” to eat 0.6 grams of protein per kilogram instead of TFM's recommended 0.8-1.2 gram, since they are so petite? (08:32) How does iodine intake and storage work in the body from a scientific perspective? Since iodine is water soluble, what is known about how long the body can maintain adequate iodine levels between dietary intake? Are there any established research findings about the need for iodine during different eating patterns, such as an extended fast? (12:02)  Will consistently high uric acid levels from fasting adversely affect my health even if I don't have symptoms of hyperuricemia? (14:08)  I believe you addressed this at the time Dr. Peter Attia was a guest on Thomas DeLauer's YouTube channel, but I can't remember which one of our podcasts that was. Wasn't he cautioning about extended fasts and muscle loss for people who were already in great shape - “shredded” if you will? Don't you quickly regain any muscle lost once you start eating nutrient-dense food again? (15:21) Is there more autophagy happening during exercise or fasting? (21:17) What is the best fasting regime for someone with a low BMI but who has non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? How long should alternate-day fasting (just started two 42-48 hour fasts a week) combined with a whole-food, low-carb diet continue? (23:46) What are your thoughts on fasting while taking ADHD medication? (25:04) Do you have any recommendations for a diet that will starve or kill cancer? (26:23) How long does it take to reverse insulin resistance while doing fasting and low-carb and how do you know when you have?

Probiotic Link: (FLORASTOR Advanced) https://florastor.com/products/floras... These nutrient-rich liver foods aid in liver detoxification and create a vacuum effect, helping you lose weight from the midsection. To make these natural liver detox smoothies, combine the ingredients with one cup of water and one cup of ice. If you are following a strict keto diet, you may want to stick to recipes without pomegranate or papaya. If you have been doing keto for some time and feel your body can handle a small amount of these fruits—please give all of the recipes a try! Always get organic fruit when possible, and try to keep your net carbs under 50g per day. 1. Spinach and kiwi Blend 1 cup of spinach with 2 to 3 kiwis. Spinach supports healthy blood sugar and can also help remove fat from the abdomen, while kiwi has properties to protect the liver against damage. 2. Spinach and grapefruit Combine 1 cup of spinach with 1 grapefruit. Grapefruit increases your sensitivity to insulin and increases bile flow. 3. Kale and pomegranate Cruciferous vegetables like kale aid in liver detoxification and have anti-inflammatory properties. Pomegranate also decreases inflammation and prevents fat from accumulating in the liver. 4. Papaya Combine one whole chopped papaya with water and ice. Papaya is loaded with enzymes that can help digestion and decrease inflammation in the liver. 5. Celery and blueberries Combine 1 cup of chopped celery with 1 cup of blueberries. Celery Increases bile production and reduces liver inflammation. Blueberries reduce liver fat, and their polyphenols help remove excess iron from the body. 6. Cucumber and lemon Combine 1 cup of each of these ingredients. Cucumber is hydrating and has electrolytes. It increases liver detoxification and can help prevent NAFLD. Lemon can also improve liver detoxification. 7. Avocado and strawberries Combine 1 cup of each! Avocado contains glutathione, one of the most potent antioxidants, and also has reparative properties for the liver. Strawberries help increase overall liver function and metabolism and remove fat from the liver. 8. Coconut and papaya Coconut contains lauric acid, which is beneficial for the immune system. It contains MCT fat, which turns into ketones. This combination decreases inflammation and scarring on the liver. Dr. William Davis developed a recipe combining fruit juice with a friendly microbe found in Florastor. Try this beverage to support the gut and suppress diarrhea and SIBO.

This episode is brought to you by LMNT and Fatty15. By conservative estimates, over half of Americans suffer from insulin resistance—a pathway that can lead to numerous chronic diseases. Fortunately, this is not a one-way street; we have the power to change course and protect our long-term health.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we bring you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with leading experts on the dangers of insulin resistance. Dhru sits down with Kristin Kirkpatrick and Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh to discuss an epidemic affecting one in four people: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its connection to insulin resistance. Kristin and Dr. Hanouneh highlight the most significant risk factors for fatty liver disease, including metabolic dysfunction and diabetes. They also delve into how ultra-processed foods, excessive sugar consumption, and sedentary lifestyles contribute to the rise in NAFLD cases. Additionally, Dr. Morgan Nolte explains why weight gain and insulin resistance are becoming more prevalent and shares actionable strategies to improve our relationship with insulin. She breaks down how insulin resistance changes as we age and emphasizes the transformative power of optimal fiber intake, quality sleep, stress reduction, and strength training in maintaining metabolic health and achieving an ideal weight. Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RDN, is a celebrated author, speaker, and accomplished dietitian with over 25 years of experience. She is a dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic Department of Wellness & Preventive Medicine.  Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh, MD, is a gastroenterologist and hepatologist specializing in liver disease. He served as Chief Gastroenterology Fellow and associate staff at the Cleveland Clinic and later contributed his expertise to Minnesota Gastroenterology and Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Dr. Morgan Nolte is a board-certified clinical specialist in geriatric physical therapy. She recognized a need for preventative education and care that focuses on reversing risk factors instead of just treating symptoms. That led her to focus on developing online courses and coaching programs that help adults reverse insulin resistance for long-term weight loss and disease prevention. In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: Why we need to focus on insulin resistance (00:00:05)  Biggest warning signs of fatty liver disease (2:04) Role of the liver (6:48) The pathway that leads to fatty liver (9:53) Myths about fatty liver and the major culprit of fatty liver disease (13:12) How non-alcoholic fatty liver gets in the way of our long-term health and chronic inflammation (18:32) Why insulin is crucial (25:06) Why insulin resistance changes as we age (31:27) Toxic traits that damage mindset (39:31) Pillars of nutrition (46:00) Optimizing muscle mass for those in the healthy baseline (51:51) Importance of sleep on your appetite (55:46) Strength training and stress management for optimal insulin levels (1:02:51)  Also mentioned: Regenerative Health Book This episode is brought to you by LMNT and Fatty15.

BUFFALO, NY - December 9, 2024 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on November 22, 2024, entitled “Computed tomography-based radiomics and body composition model for predicting hepatic decompensation." Mayo Clinic researchers Yashbir Singh, John E. Eaton, Sudhakar K. Venkatesh, and Bradley J. Erickson have developed an innovative AI tool to predict hepatic decompensation in individuals with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). PSC is a chronic disease that damages the bile ducts and can lead to liver failure. Hepatic decompensation marks a critical stage of advanced liver disease, and clinicians have long faced challenges in predicting who is at risk. The Mayo Clinic's new AI tool addresses this gap by combining body fat and muscle composition data with insights extracted from computed tomography (CT) scans using computational radiomics. By analyzing these tissues, the AI model identifies patterns linked to an increased risk of liver failure. The study involved 80 PSC patients, including 30 with hepatic decompensation, 30 without, and 20 patients in an external validation set. The AI model achieved impressive results, correctly identifying at-risk patients with 97% accuracy. By recognizing these risks early, clinicians may be able to intervene sooner and improve patient outcomes. While the study focused on PSC, the team emphasized the broader implications of their work. “It may hold promise for the detection of other PSC-related complications, such as cholangiocarcinoma, as well as applications in more prevalent chronic liver diseases like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).” This non-invasive, data-driven approach offers a powerful way to assess health risks and provide more tailored treatments. Despite the promising findings, the researchers acknowledge the limitations of the study, which include a limited sample size and a single-center design. “However, further research is necessary to validate our findings on a large-scale, independent dataset, ensuring the robustness and generalizability of the model.” In conclusion, this study shows how detailed information from CT scans can help clinicians predict severe liver problems in patients with PSC. By identifying hidden patterns in the images, they can better understand risks and create personalized treatment plans. This approach could improve care for PSC and other long-term liver diseases.

Insulin resistance isn't just about what we eat. It's about how our bodies respond to food, how we store fat, and how our hormones work together to keep everything in balance. And did you know that insulin resistance can look different depending on whether you're a man or a woman? In this episode, we'll break down the unique symptoms of insulin resistance in both men and women, from weight gain and fatigue to hormonal disruptions and more. Whether you're concerned about your own health or just curious about this metabolic condition, this episode will help you understand how insulin resistance manifests differently in each gender and why it's so important to recognize early symptoms. What is insulin resistance? Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to higher blood sugar levels. While both men and women can experience similar underlying metabolic changes, insulin resistance symptoms may manifest differently in each gender due to hormonal and physiological differences. Insulin Resistance Symptoms in Women: Weight Gain (Especially Around the Abdomen and Hips) Women may notice weight gain around the abdomen, hips, and thighs. The hormonal fluctuations in women, particularly with estrogen and insulin, may cause fat to accumulate more readily in these areas. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Insulin resistance is a key factor in PCOS, a condition that is characterized by irregular periods, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, and ovarian cysts. Insulin resistance can exacerbate the symptoms of PCOS. Irregular Menstrual Cycles Elevated insulin levels can interfere with hormonal regulation, causing irregular or absent menstrual cycles. This is often seen in women with PCOS or those who are insulin-resistant. Fatigue and Energy Slumps Women with insulin resistance may feel more fatigued or experience energy dips throughout the day as the body struggles to process glucose for energy efficiently. Increased Hunger and Cravings (Particularly for Carbs) Insulin resistance can lead to constant hunger or cravings for sugary, high-carb foods, as the body's ability to process and utilize glucose effectively is impaired. Skin Changes Conditions like Acanthosis Nigricans, which results in dark, thickened skin around the neck, armpits, or groin, are more common in women with insulin resistance. Women may also experience skin tags, especially around the neck or underarms. Mood Swings and Depression Insulin resistance can impact the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to mood swings, irritability, and even contributing to symptoms of depression or anxiety in some women. Increased Risk of Gestational Diabetes Women who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance later in life. Insulin Resistance Symptoms in Men: Abdominal Fat (Visceral Fat) Men are more likely to store fat in the abdominal area, known as visceral fat. This type of fat is linked to an increased risk of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. It can contribute to a larger waist circumference and an “apple-shaped” body. Low Energy and Fatigue Men with insulin resistance may experience chronic fatigue and decreased energy levels, as their bodies are less effective at converting glucose into usable energy. Reduced Muscle Mass Insulin resistance may lead to reduced muscle mass, as insulin is also a hormone involved in muscle repair and growth. Men might notice a decrease in strength or difficulty gaining muscle despite exercise. Increased Hunger and Cravings Like women, men with insulin resistance may also experience increased hunger, particularly for high-carb and sugary foods. This can lead to overeating or difficulty maintaining a healthy weight. Erectile Dysfunction Insulin resistance can impair blood flow and affect hormone levels, leading to erectile dysfunction (ED). This is a common issue for men with insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome. High Blood Pressure Insulin resistance is often associated with hypertension (high blood pressure), which is a risk factor for heart disease. This may be one of the early signs of insulin resistance in men. Fatty Liver Disease Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition in which fat builds up in the liver and is closely associated with insulin resistance. It is more common in men and can lead to liver inflammation or more serious liver conditions if left unchecked. Sleep Apnea Men with insulin resistance may be at higher risk for sleep apnea, a condition characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep, which can worsen metabolic problems and further disrupt insulin sensitivity.

In this episode, Ahsen Ustaoglu interviews Prof Vincent Wong on their comprehensive review of non-invasive biomarkers and imaging tools for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which has a rapidly rising incidence worldwide. 

Fatty liver disease, encompassing both non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic liver disease (ALD), is a prevalent condition in the United States. NAFLD affects approximately 24% of U.S. adults, translating to about 80 million individuals. Within this group, a subset develops non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a more severe form characterized by liver inflammation and damage, affecting an estimated 1.5% to 6.5% of U.S. adults. NIDDK In this lesson I will be sharing with you an easy protocol to reverse fatty liver + the top warning signs that your liver is failing you.  The first step to repairing your liver is to avoid snacking, and practice intermittent fasting.  The second step to repairing your liver is to avoid or limit alcohol! The third step to healing your liver are the following supplements and biohacks. 

As a digestive health dietitian, time and time again, I seem to conveniently ignore the fact that the liver is considered part of the digestive system…and this episode is my attempt to correct that glaring oversight!  Today we are talking all about liver health with Toronto-based dietitian Andy De Santis, including specific nutrition advice for fatty liver disease and I have to say, even if you haven't thought about liver health in the past, you will be FASCINATED by this episode…because, really, liver health is connected to, and reflects, overall health. Andy shares so much practical, actionable advice that will help anyone achieve better overall health, from fighting chronic inflammation to improving blood sugar response and supporting cardiovascular health. Because it really is all connected…and nutrition is so, so important for helping you live your healthiest, most active life no matter your health goals. Yes, we are also going to cover a lot about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease - now called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In this episode, you'll gain a better understanding of why NAFLD/MASLD occurs, and how nutrition supports the underlying causes of this increasingly common condition. About Andy: Andy is a private practice dietitian and multi-time published author from Toronto, Canada. He graduated from the University of Toronto School Of Public Health with a master's in nutrition in 2014 before starting his career in the research and education department at Diabetes Canada. Since then his mutual passion for writing and social media has taken him down the private practice path with his most prominent area of practice interest now being fatty liver disease. On this episode we chat about: What Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease…and what's with the name change? What causes NAFLD? Is it fat you eat? Or something else? Two simple foods to eat daily to reduce your risk How the microbiome is connected to liver health The best researched supplement to support fatty liver Lab tests for liver health Lifestyle factors that lead to high triglycerides Why omega 3 fats matter Important phytochemicals to eat more of…and where to find them Do you actually have to lose weight in order to reduce liver fat? Are you hitting your healthy sleep threshold? Support the Pod!

When you have a fatty liver, every other function in your body becomes compromised.  A fatty liver also means a fatty pancreas, and other fatty organs. This also means you have excess visceral fat! Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver. While the liver naturally contains some fat, when more than 5-10% of its weight is fat, it can lead to complications. Fatty liver disease is generally categorized into two main types: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Fat accumulation in the liver not caused by alcohol. Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Fat accumulation due to excessive alcohol consumption. In the United States, it is estimated that 10% to 20% of children have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The prevalence of NAFLD in children has been increasing, particularly due to the rising rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Among children with obesity, the prevalence of NAFLD is significantly higher, ranging from 30% to 50%. Approximately 30 years ago, in the early 1990s, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was relatively rare in children, with an estimated prevalence of around 1% to 3%!! Here are 10 health complications that can occur with fatty liver disease…. 1. Liver Inflammation and Damage 2. Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes 3. Cardiovascular Diseases 4. Kidney Disease 5. Sleep Apnea 6. Increased Risk of Certain Cancers 7. Hormonal Imbalances 8. Fatigue and Malaise 9. Nutrient Deficiencies 10. Weight Gain and Difficulty Losing Weight

HEALTH NEWS   The consumption of flavonoid-rich foods was associated with a reduced risk of NAFLD among middle-aged adults Phytoene increases lifespan, reduces oxidative stress and amyloid toxicity One in three Americans has a dysfunctional metabolism, but intermittent fasting could help Keeping a longer overnight fast and eating an early breakfast may be associated with a lower body mass index Meta-analysis concludes benefit for cranberry against UTI Multiple surgeries could contribute to cognitive decline in older people

"Your liver is amazing. You can renew it. You can regenerate it." - Kristen Kirkpatrick In this episode of Well Beyond 40, I had the pleasure of discussing a silent yet widespread health issue with Kristen Kirkpatrick, a renowned Registered Dietitian and bestselling author. Together, we unpacked the hidden epidemic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which affects a surprising 1 in 4 people, and its profound impact on metabolic health. Kristen's new book, "Discover Your Metabolic Type and Renew Your Liver for Life," sheds light on how prevalent this condition is and provides a comprehensive guide to reversing its effects. Kristen's journey into liver health began with a realization in her practice: countless patients were unaware of the severity of their liver conditions due to a lack of definitive guidance. She emphasizes that even without symptoms, elevated liver enzymes can signal trouble. This is particularly important for women over 40 navigating metabolism and hormone balance changes during menopause. Learn about the four metabolic types and how they affect your health. Kristen shares actionable steps to check if you're at risk and how to manage or even reverse NAFLD through lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments. One of the most fascinating insights from our conversation is the liver's capacity to heal. Kristen breaks down the importance of specific foods that are proven to support liver health. She dispels myths around liver cleanses and emphasizes the power of gradual, sustainable changes over quick fixes. If you're wondering about the safety of alcohol for NAFLD, she'll demystify that, too. This episode is packed with practical advice that aligns with my mission to help you thrive at any age. If you're curious about how to keep your liver healthy and want to learn more about its often-overlooked role in overall wellness, this episode is a must-listen. Kristen's expertise provides a fresh perspective on managing and preventing liver-related issues, ensuring you can enjoy better health and vitality as you age.   FULL show notes: https://www.jjvirgin.com/liverinsights Reignite Wellness™ Protein First Enzymes: https://reignitewellness.com/products/protein-first-enzymes Reignite:Wellness Omega Plus: https://reignitewellness.com/products/omega-plus Epsom Salt: https://amzn.to/3IxgmMm Vital Choice wild-caught seafood: https://vitalchoice.sjv.io/daKYGy Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Company: https://www.freshpressedoliveoiltrk.com/6ZR9ZK/6JHXF/ Download my FREE Best Rest Sleep Cheat Sheet: https://jjvirgin.com/sleep Dry Farm Wines: dryfarmwines.com/jjvirgin Episode Sponsors:  Try Timeline: https://www.timelinenutrition.com/shop?rfsn=7082975.4b75243 Use code JJ10 for 10% off all products Go to qualialife.com/VIRGINWELLNESS to try Qualia risk-free for up to 100 days and code VIRGINWELLNESS for an additional 15% off.

High Fructose Corn Syrup's Profits over Health:  Richard Gale & Gary Null PhD Progressive Radio Network, July 24, 2024 There is an unseen culprit hiding in the shadows. It is a toxic poison contained in many of the foods and beverages that we commonly eat. A toxin that has been implicated in causing cancer, diabetes, heart disease, lowered cognitive function, addiction, depression, and obesity. The magicians and alchemists of the corporate food industry have cleverly disguised this ingredient and sing its praises.  If you are waiting for mainstream media to undertake an in-depth investigative report on this topic you will be waiting a long time. Back in 2015 Tufts University's department of nutritional sciences conducted a study published by the American Heart Association that documented the annual rates of global deaths directly due to over-consumption of beverages with high sugar content. The results estimated that 184,000 adults die annually from sugary drinks.  Dr. Gitanjali at Tufts analyzed data documenting sugar-related deaths across 51 countries between 1980 and 2010.  Deaths were compiled according to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and various cancers. Based upon the data, the study concluded that sugar contributed to 45,000 annual deaths from cardiovascular disease, 13,000 deaths from diabetic complications, and 6,450 deaths related to cancer.  Credit Suisse's Research Institute published a scathing report that brought sugar's health risks into sharper focus.  The study revealed that upward to 40% of American healthcare expenditures could be directly tied to overconsumption of sugar in the average American diet.  Today, the US' national addiction to sugar contributes to $1 trillion in healthcare costs annually, which includes coronary heart disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. There are numerous studies published in reliable peer-reviewed medical journals associating sugar with each of these life threatening diseases. As far back as 1971, I began writing about the hazards of sugar. In 2002, my documentary Seven Steps to Perfect Health was premiered on PBS stations. During a special appearance on one station's fund drive, I poured sugar out of a bag. The amount I poured equaled the number of teaspoons that an average American teenager consumes daily. My general counsel, David Slater, verified the quantity by proper measurement according to scientific food and diet data.  After the initial airing of this special, I was informed by the station's program director that they could not rebroadcast the performance, even though it was the most successful program during the fund drive. I was informed that the station had received harsh criticism from the sugar industry. The program director explained that the information I presented about sugar's dangers, even though I provided full scientific verification of the facts, ran up against the president of the station board Sharon Rockefeller. I was told she had received a phone call from a sugar-lobbying group representing soft drink makers and sugar manufacturers.  Therefore the station made the decision to pull my program. I was never asked to return to the station. Not surprisingly, a subsequent investigation revealed Sharon Rockefeller sat on Pepsi's board at the time, one of America's largest manufacturers of sweetened soft drinks.    That was my first personal encounter with the political forces supporting sugar. I wrote letters to the sugar industry, the station board and Sharon Rockefeller contesting their suppression of my program and their claim that sugar was unrelated to the declining health of Americans. They were presented with dozens of peer-reviewed studies. However in recent decades, the sweetener industry has undergone a dramatic transformation with the introduction and widespread adoption of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) throughout our food system. This shift from traditional cane sugar, which dominated my criticism earlier, to fructose corn sugars has led to deep human health and environmental concerns due to its economic benefits for food manufacturers.  High fructose corn syrup was developed in the late 1960s by Japanese scientists who discovered a method to convert glucose from cornstarch into fructose using enzymes. This innovation was spurred by the need to find a cheaper and more versatile sweetener as an alternative to the more labor-intensive production of traditional cane sugar. HFCS is made by milling corn to produce cornstarch. The starch is then hydrolyzed into glucose by adding the enzyme alpha-amylase. Finally the glucose is further processed into fructose. The result is a syrup that typically contains 42-55 percent fructose, with the rest being glucose. Some methods can produce fructose as high as 90 percent.  Today, HFCS production has been so optimized that it has become the most cost-effective and efficient means to produce sweeteners. Monsanto's genetically modified Round-Up Ready corn, enabling the use of more toxic herbicides and pesticides, has now made HFCS the cornerstone of the sugar industry.  However, the shift to HFCS has been fundamentally driven by economics and the agro-chemical industry and has absolutely nothing to do with creating a healthier sugar.  Since corn is one of the most extensively cultivated crops in the United States, which is heavily subsidized by the government, it has provided an enormous, inexpensive supply of the raw material needed for HFCS production. In addition, the enzymatic conversion process can result in a high yield of sweetener from a relatively small amount of corn.  HFCS is now a ubiquitous ingredient that permeates our entire modern food supply. Starting in the 1980s, the introduction of HFCS has gradually displaced traditional sweeteners such as natural cane sugar, glucose and honey. According to the USDA, HFCS can cost up to 50% less than cane and other traditional sugars. This cost differential is particularly significant in industries where sweeteners constitute a major portion of production costs such as in soft drinks, artificial fruit juices, sweet baked goods, snack foods and candy, breakfast cereals, condiments and sauces, sweetened dairy products such as yoghurt and ice cream, and a large variety of processed canned and prepared meals. A study published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that HFCS accounts for over 40% increase of caloric sweeteners added to foods and beverages. Having a purview of the distribution of different sugars in the American diet helps to illustrate the dominance of HFCS in the food system. Approximately 45 percent of added sugars in the American diet come from HFCS and an additional 2 percent from pure fructose. Between 35-40 percent of sweeteners derive from sucrose, the common table sugar made from sugarcane and sugar beets -- the latter now being genetically modified. The production process involves crushing the plant material to extract the juice, which is then purified, concentrated, and crystallized to produce table sugar.  Not to be confused with HFCS, corn syrup is largely glucose and represents about 10-15 percent of the nation's sugar intake. It is the most common sugar used in baked goods and candy. Lactose and galactose each account for about 4-5 percent of consumed sugars. However they are typically not added sugars to foods but naturally present in all dairy products.  Finally, honey, which at one time was a common food ingredient, today only accounts for about 1-2 percent of sweeteners.  Moreover, according to FDA testing, a lot of commercial honey found in grocery stores has been adulterated with HFCS and other sweeteners, such sucrose derived from cane and GMO beet sugars and artificial honey-flavored imitators.  A general estimate is that 20-30 percent of honey sold is impure.  Back in the 1970s and 1980s when I frequently railed publicly against the sugar industry and the health risks of processed table sugar that then completely dominated the food industry, I would never have imagined that sucrose would be gradually replaced by HFCS. This replacement accelerated after the emergence of genetically modified (GM) corn. As noted above, the vast majority of HFCS produced in the United States, the world's larger corn producer globally, is derived from genetically modified (GM) corn. Estimates suggest that around 85-90% of the corn grown in the U.S. is genetically modified. Therefore it is reasonable to infer that approximately 85-90% of HFCS is derived from GM corn. As many court cases and exposes of corruption in the agro-chemical industry have cone to light, GM corn has dire implications for the production and consumption of HFCS, especially considering the associated health risks linked to the use of toxic herbicides such as glyphosate. Research has linked glyphosate to various health issues, including cancer. A decade ago, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a "probable human carcinogen"; today, it is no longer probable but a medical fact. Several studies have detected glyphosate residues in food products containing HFCS. A study published in Environmental Health found glyphosate residues in a variety of food products, highlighting the widespread contamination of the food supply with this herbicide. In addition to glyphosate's carcinogenic potential, the toxin has also been shown to disrupt endocrine function and it has been implicated in gut dysbiosis, an imbalance in the gut microbiome. This disruption can lead to a range of health problems, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other gastrointestinal disorders. Research published in Current Microbiology indicates that glyphosate exposure can alter the composition of the gut microbiota, leading to adverse health outcomes. HFCS and traditional sugars like table sugar differ significantly in their composition and metabolic effects. Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of equal parts glucose and fructose, while HFCS is a mixture of free glucose and fructose, with the fructose content higher than that in sucrose. This difference in composition affects how the body metabolizes these sugars. Briefly, HFCS poses more serious health risks than sucrose. The free fructose in HFCS is absorbed more rapidly than the bound fructose in sucrose, leading to quicker spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels. In addition, the high fructose content in HFCS places a greater burden on the liver, leading to increased fat production and storage, contributing to fatty liver disease and metabolic disorders. In contrast, the balanced glucose-fructose composition of sucrose is metabolized more evenly, posing lower risks. However, it is crucial to realize that excessive or even moderate consumption of any form of sugar can be detrimental to health. Extensive research has linked the consumption of HFCS to a range of adverse health effects. Key among these is metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that high consumption of HFCS is associated with an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome, which includes conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. These conditions collectively elevate the risk of heart disease and stroke. HFCS has been directly implicated in America's obesity epidemic due to its high fructose content, which is metabolized differently than glucose. Fructose is primarily processed in the liver, where it can be converted into fat more readily than glucose. This process can lead to increased fat accumulation and insulin resistance, both of which are risk factors for obesity and type 2 diabetes. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition highlighted that high HFCS consumption is correlated with an increased risk of obesity and diabetes, particularly in children and adolescents. HFCS intake also leads to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Unlike glucose, which is metabolized by all cells in the body, fructose is metabolized almost entirely in the liver. High levels of fructose overwhelms the liver's capacity to process it, leading to fat accumulation and liver damage. Research published in Hepatology has shown a strong correlation between HFCS consumption and the progression to more severe liver diseases, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Recent evidence reveals that HFCS has detrimental effects on cognitive function and mental health. Studies indicate that fructose impairs insulin signaling in the brain, which is crucial for maintaining cognitive functions. A study in the Journal of Physiology found that high-fructose diets can lead to insulin resistance in the brain, potentially increasing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Additionally, high sugar diets, including those high in HFCS, have been linked to mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety, as detailed in a review in Nature Reviews Neuroscience. HFCS and other fructose-rich sugars can have profound adverse effects on the gut and digestive system. These sugars are known to disrupt the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, contributing to various digestive disorders and altering the gut microbiome. Fructose, unlike glucose, is not directly absorbed by the body. It requires a specific transporter, GLUT5, to be taken up by the intestinal cells. Fructose interferes with these transporters, leading to malabsorption. Unabsorbed fructose travels to the large intestine, where it undergoes fermentation by gut bacteria. This process produces gases such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane, which cause bloating, gas, and abdominal pain leading to malabsorption and the intestine's inability to absorb fructose efficiently. The gut microbiome, a complex community of trillions of microorganisms living in the digestive tract, is crucial for maintaining digestive health, immune function, and overall well-being. High intake of fructose negatively affects this delicate balance. Studies have shown that diets high in fructose can lead to an imbalance in the gut microbiota composition. This imbalance is characterized by a decrease in beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli and an increase in harmful bacteria like Clostridia and Enterobacteria.  A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that high fructose levels increase intestinal permeability, also known as "leaky gut." This condition allows harmful substances, such as toxins and bacteria, to pass from the gut into the bloodstream, triggering inflammation and contributing to the development of various diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Inflammatory bowel disease, which includes conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is exacerbated by promoting inflammation and altering the gut microbiota. A study in the journal Gut reported that reducing fructose intake improved symptoms in individuals with IBS, suggesting a direct link between fructose consumption and IBS symptom severity. Finally we need to also consider the catastrophic effects of HFCS on children. Children are particularly vulnerable to the health risks associated with HFCS due to their higher consumption levels relative to their body weight. According to data from the CDC, the average American child consumes approximately 12-16 teaspoons of added sugars per day, a significant portion of which comes from HFCS. This high intake is largely driven by the consumption of sweetened beverages, snacks, and processed foods that are marketed specifically to children. The high consumption of HFCS among children is a major contributor to the rising rates of childhood obesity and metabolic disorders. Studies have shown that children who consume high levels of sugary beverages and snacks are more likely to develop obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. A study published in Pediatrics found that children who consume sugary drinks daily are at a significantly higher risk of developing obesity compared to those who consume them less frequently. There is also growing concern about the impact of HFCS on children's cognitive development and behavior. High sugar diets have been linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other behavioral issues in children. A study in the Journal of Attention Disorders found that excessive sugar consumption, including HFCS, exacerbates symptoms of ADHD and impair cognitive functions such as memory and learning. A deeper look at the politics of the sugar industry reveals that huge sums are being doled out by the government to support and subsidize sugar companies. Writing for the Wall Street Journal, health journalist Alexandra Wexler explains that American taxpayers are currently responsible for shelling out $280 million to cover the cost of loans from the USDA which sugar producers are unable to pay back. Given the undeniable evidence demonstrating the toxicity of HFCS and other commercial sugars and their enormous toll on the wellbeing of Americans, why is it that our health agencies and elected officials are not calling for an urgent overhaul of existing policies, which graciously support the domestic sugar industry to poison the population? Where is the outrage over bailing out the purveyors of what is likely the most dangerous staple in the American diet? For our answers we must follow the money-trail.
