Diabetes Dialogue: Therapeutics, Technology, & Real-World Perspectives
In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue, cohostsDiana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and co-director of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, examine a newly released American Diabetes Association (ADA) consensus report titled Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) in People with Diabetes: The Need for Screening and Early Intervention. The publication emphasizes the importance of recognizing MASLD as a critical comorbidity in individuals with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes and outlines guidance for clinicians to improve early detection, risk stratification, and treatment strategies. The episode begins by placing MASLD in historical context alongside other comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and hypertension. The hosts explain that MASLD, previously referred to as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD, reflects a metabolic-driven pathology and is now better understood as a progressive condition that increases the risk of cirrhosis, liver transplantation, cardiovascular disease, and impaired quality of life. The more advanced form, MASH (Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis), represents progression toward hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis. A major focus is the Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score, a noninvasive, cost-effective screening tool calculated from common laboratory tests (platelets and liver function markers) to assess fibrosis risk. The consensus report advises routine FIB-4 scoring in adults with type 2 diabetes, particularly those with central obesity. Based on risk thresholds, further evaluation may involve transient elastography (FibroScan), advanced imaging, or hepatology referral. The hosts commend the ADA for offering a clear clinical algorithm for evaluation and referral, as well as pharmacotherapy recommendations tailored to disease severity. For individuals with early-stage fibrosis, lifestyle modification and diabetes therapies such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (eg, semaglutide) are first-line approaches. For advanced fibrosis (F2–F3), resmetirom is the only currently approved treatment for MASH. The report also highlights complications from hepatic dysfunction—including impaired hypoglycemia awareness and sarcopenia—underscoring the broader metabolic impact of MASLD. Isaacs and Bellini stress that MASLD should be approached with the same clinical rigor as other diabetes-related complications. They recommend integrating automated FIB-4 scoring in EHRs, interdisciplinary collaboration with hepatology, and clinician education using decision tools from the consensus report.

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. He is a clinical biochemist/certified personal trainer/health coach. As a biochemist, he was trained to understand “the mechanism of action” or what is causing the problem as opposed to just throwing medications at the illness. Many clients/listeners say that Phil makes complicated subjects much easier to understand. He was hired by a veteran's group and gave seminars throughout New England.

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.

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!

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.

Episode 2620: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss news items that address the need for battling Big Food companies, how to get moving, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/03/battling-big-food-companies-episode-2620 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Battling Big Food Companies Chris has three new items for Vinnie. 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.

In this episode we discuss: How much oxalate your body produces and how it compares to the amount you consume in your diet Whether you need to be concerned about vitamin C, hydroxyproline, and glycine converting to oxalates How you can reduce the amount of oxalates your body produces Which nutrients decrease oxalate production How metabolic dysfunction affects oxalate production Check out the Energy Balance Solution program here: https://www.jayfeldmanwellness.com/solution/ The Nutrition Blueprint: https://mikefave.com/the-nutrition-blueprint/ Click here to check out the show notes: https://www.jayfeldmanwellness.com/ep-129-the-forgotten-source-of-oxalates-your-bodys-own-production/ Timestamps: 0:00 – intro 1:12 – overview of endogenous vs. exogenous oxalates 5:46 – how much oxalate comes from endogenous production vs. diet 9:14 – when endogenous oxalate production matters more than dietary oxalate 15:03 – rare genetic disorders that cause excessive oxalate production: primary hyperoxaluria 22:36 – the pathways in the liver that lead to oxalate production 32:41 – other biochemical pathways involved in endogenous oxalate production 41:19 – deranged metabolic function as a primary driver of glyoxal production and lipid peroxidation 45:14 – the extent to which glycine and vitamin C contribute to endogenous oxalate formation 48:00 – how much does hydroxyproline contribute to oxalate production? 52:06 – the primary precursor to oxalate that's often ignored (glyoxal) 55:08 – how oxidative stress drives oxalate production and how antioxidants help 1:01:20 – what causes the high oxalate levels seen in type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)? 1:11:16 – the protective effects of glycine in states of excess oxalate production 1:15:54 – elevated stress hormones and gluconeogenesis increase oxalate production 1:22:43 – nutrient deficiencies that contribute to oxalate issues (vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and zinc)
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?

#molecularhydrogen #h2 #tylerlebaron #inflammation #nafld To say I was starstruck to have Dr Tyler LeBaron on the podcast today to discuss all things molecular hydrogen was an understatement. I have been the biggest fan of his ever since I discovered molecular hydrogen in 2019. We had an awesome conversation on; - what is molecular hydrogen - the therapeutic effects of H2 - inflammation, metabolic syndrome and fatty liver and how H2 can be beneficial - dosing and preparation of H2 - some interesting stories of my experience with H2 And lots more! You will definitely understand what molecular hydrogen in by the end of this conversation and please let us know if you have any questions in the comments. :) Tyler W. LeBaron, MSc, Ph.D., is the Founder and Executive Director of the science-based, nonprofit, Molecular Hydrogen Institute. His background is in biochemistry, physiology, and exercise science. He has taught physiology and currently teaches exercise physiology and chemistry lab classes at Southern Utah University as an adjunct instructor.

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.

Exam Room Nutrition: Nutrition Education for Health Professionals
Welcome to Deficiency Detective!A mini-series for you to solve today's nutrition mystery. Join me as I share a puzzling patient case every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday during December.Here's how to play:
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

"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.
