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. Listen in to Part 1 of my interview with Lyana and be inspired by her fascinating story!     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?

Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus, where we provide unique insights and expertise on medical evidence related to VA-rated disabilities.Leah Bucholz, a US Army Veteran, Physician Assistant, & former Compensation & Pension Examiner shares her knowledge related to Independent Medical Opinions often referred to as “Nexus Letters” in support of your pursuit of VA Disability every Wednesday at 7 AM.In this video Leah addresses the issue of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its connection to obesity in the context of VA disability. She explains that NAFLD is a common liver condition affecting individuals who consume minimal to no alcohol, primarily seen in those who are overweight or obese. This condition, which affects about 25% of the global population and 100 million people in the U.S., can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), leading to severe liver damage similar to that caused by heavy alcohol use. Leah highlights the importance of recognizing obesity as a contributing factor to NAFLD and discusses various studies on the relationship between obesity, physical inactivity, and NAFLD. She emphasizes the role of weight loss and physical activity in managing NAFLD, referencing guidelines that recommend these as primary treatments. Additionally, she outlines the VA disability ratings for conditions related to NAFLD, stressing the need for a current diagnosis, an in-service event, injury, or illness, and a link between the service event and the current disability.

In today's podcast, you will learn about the growing epidemic of fatty liver disease and its impact on global health. You will gain insights into the causes, risk factors, and critical differences between non-alcoholic and alcoholic fatty liver disease. Understanding the range of symptoms and potential complications associated with fatty liver disease allows you to recognize warning signs early, which is a crucial step in managing your health. You will also learn about lifestyle modifications, treatment options, and future developments in controlling and preventing fatty liver disease, enabling you to take proactive steps toward liver health.

In this episode, Tess talks with Kristin Kirkpatrick - renowned speaker, best-selling author, and one of the most respected dietitians in the United States. Kristin shares how her struggle with childhood obesity fueled her desire to help people improve their relationship with food. Then traces her journey from White House intern, to lobbyist, to cardiovascular genetics at the Cleveland Clinic, to lead dietitian of their Department of Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine. She speaks to the value of humility and generous mentorship in finding your own path and helping others find theirs. And how stepping out of your comfort zone fast-tracks personal and professional growth. Kristin's talent for simplifying complex medical information has made her a powerful force in nutrition education. She explains why we need to care about the liver, and why Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease has become an epidemic. With an estimated 1 in 4 people affected, and many unaware they have it, the disease is a silent killer. She defines the four metabolic types, why knowing your type is critical, and gives practical strategies for preventing and reversing liver disease. In closing, she shares her next mission: Helping women embrace menopause with humor and love their older bodies! KEY MOMENTS IN THE PODCAST “You can go through so many different versions of yourself. Eventually you're gonna land on who you're meant to be. And sometimes you gotta go through all those versions to figure it out.” “A lot of times we'll take on different things in our life because we didn't have it. So we take that on as a goal to give back what was not given to us.” “When the view doesn't change, you can't necessarily grow. It's the stuff that makes you uncomfortable where you're forced to learn about something you didn't know before.” “1 out of every 4 people has liver disease and probably don't know it because there's no symptoms. We think it's closer to 30% of individuals who have it. It's very much in line with type-two diabetes and insulin resistance. It is an epidemic and a silent killer.” KRISTIN KICKPATRICK, MS, RDN BIO With over 25 years experience in health management, Kristin is an award-winning dietitian, best-selling author, nationally recognized speaker, and founder and president of KAK Consulting, LLC,. As the lead dietitian in the Cleveland Clinic's Department of Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine, Kristin is one of the most respected dietitians in the United States. You may have seen her give expert advice on the TODAY show, NBC Nightly News, the Dr. Oz show, as well as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, TIME, Oprah, Food Network, Self, Women's Health, and other media outlets. Kristin is known for her groundbreaking lobbying efforts for Medical Nutrition Therapy reform on behalf of the American Dietetic Association Policy and Advocacy group. Kristin's first book, Skinny Liver got a lot of attention raising awareness about the Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease epidemic. Her second book, Regenerative Health explores the relationship between liver disease and metabolic health, and provides practical nutrition plans and strategies to support recovery and better health.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is prevalent in 25–30% of British and European populations, representing a potential global public health crisis. Marine omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids offer well-evidenced benefits to NAFLD biomarkers; however, the effect of plant-based n-3 has not been evaluated with a systematic review and meta-analysis. Join us for this episode where Douglas Taren speaks with Katie Lane, co-author of this featured article, a review aimed to systematically evaluate the effect of plant-based n-3 supplementation on NAFLD surrogate biomarkers and parameters.

Zobair Younossi, Chair of the Global NASL Council, publishes seminal papers  on MASLD epidemology, cost of disease, and related public health needs regularly. Co-hosts Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell, and Roger Green ask questions and share perspectives from their own experiences.00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 5 Episode 4Opening introduction, including brief quotes taken directly from the episode discussion.00:02:45 - Introduction and GroundbreakerPanelists swap brief, lighthearted comments about where they are geographically and where they have been recently. In the groundbreaker, each shares one piece of good news from the previous week. 00:11:15 - Epidemiology articleZobair Younossi discusses the recent review article, Understanding the Burden of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, published earlier this month in Diabetes Spectrum. He starts by discussing incidence and growth rates for MASLD, MASH, and cirrhosis across the world, and how these differ by country. He goes on to discuss the impact of MASH on patient Quality of Life and the high correlation between multi-metabolic patients (most notably diabetics) and negative outcomes.00:15:55 - Panel questions and commentsJörn Schattenberg joins the conversation to praise this and other of Zobair's works for helping physicians know what to do when they decide to become more engaged in treating MASLD and MASH. This leads Zobair to discuss the Markov model they have created to evaluate burden of disease.00:19:14 - Costliness and cost-effectiveness of therapy In response to a question from Roger Green, Zobair describes the criteria and metrics used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a new drug or diagnostic. Louise Campbell comments on how high and underappreciated the social and economic burdens of disease are to every global society. Zobair notes that health economists do not focus on liver disease as a discreet set of costs and burdens. 00:27:17 - Goals and activities for the next few yearsRoger states that given how fast the  MASLD and MASH populations are growing, an effort to "flatten the curve" would be heroic. Zobair replies that each country needs to fight liver disease, but that each country will have different immediate challenges. 00:31:28 - Women's health and liver healthLouise notes that the epidemiology paper refers to the high level of risks among women over 55. This leads to a discussion between Jörn, Zobair and Louise on the higher risk level post-menopausal women experience and some pathological elements that make this important.00:34:58 - Global NASH CouncilZobair bridges this portion of the conversation to discuss the work of the Global NASH Council, a group of >200 members in >50 countries organized into different workstreams to create knowledge and awareness around MASLD and MASH.00:38:59 - Low SDI and High SDI countriesTo Zobair, one element in the global effort on MASLD and MASH is the recognition that High SDI (wealthier) and Low SDI (power) countries face dramatic differences in the challenges they face. 00:41:14 - Reducing the rate of disease growthTo Louise, educating women might be a key to driving awareness, both because post-menopausal women live at higher risks and because they cook and schedule for their families. This leads to a broader discussion about the most effective education starting with children. Finally, Zobair discusses the importance of making all stakeholders PLUS global agencies recognize the scale of this challenge and to act in concert with increasing urgency. 00:48:42 - Question of the WeekThe first Question of the Week asks what steps each of us can take to help stem the pandemic. 00:49:41 - Business reportNews on audience metrics, the first Question of the Week, next week's episode and this week's Vault conversation

Most of us have heard of fatty liver being associated with alcoholism or consumption of large quantities of alcohol.  But this isn't the only cause of fatty liver.  The vast majority of fatty liver cases today are not related to alcohol consumption, but rather due to metabolic changes in the liver (and throughout the body).  This is referred to as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease or Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease.Fatty liver is not the result of obesity and isn't found only in those who are obese.  NAFLD is associated with insulin resistance.  Listen to this episode to learn more about how you can reverse fatty liver quickly without medications.  For full show notes and information, click here.Did you know my practice is entirely virtual?

Today, we examine the impact of ultra-processed foods on liver health. This shift in our diet has had an impact on our liver health, resulting in the important organ not functioning properly, for us and our kids. Dr. Elizabeth Boham presents a case-study of a patient she had who had developed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and what she did to help him. Many of us turn to cleanses to detox our livers, but what if we instead reduced our reliance on ultra-processed foods instead?   LET'S TALK THE WALK! ***NEW*** Facebook Group for Our Community!

Common food allergens include eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat^1. Other problematic substances can include alcohol, corn, histamines, gluten, fructose, lactose, nitrites, MSG, and nightshades^1. [Study: Elimination Diet](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/elimination-diet/) ^1 2. **Fasting: The second way to kickstart your weight loss again** Insulin resistance (IR) contributes to a variety of health issues, including atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and various cancers^2. Current research suggests that intermittent fasting is a viable non-medical treatment option for type 2 diabetes^3. Fasting can also normalize certain physiological parameters in obese individuals^2. [Study 1: Fasting insulin, insulin resistance, and risk of cardiovascular or all-cause mortality in non-diabetic adults](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6448479/) ^2 [Study 2: Prolonged fasting-induced metabolic signatures in human skeletal muscle of lean and obese men](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6124727/) ^2 [Study 3: Intermittent fasting: is there a role in the treatment of diabetes? A review of the literature and guide for primary care physicians](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7856758/) ^3 3. **Sunlight: The third way to kickstart your weight loss again** Exposure to blue light can potentially impact lipid homeostasis^4. In another study, exposure to morning light was associated with reduced body fat and appetite in obese women^5. [Study 1: Subcutaneous white adipocytes express a light sensitive signaling pathway mediated via a melanopsin/TRPC channel axis](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-16689-4) ^4 [Study 2: Timing and Intensity of Light Correlate with Body Weight in Adults](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3973603/) ^5 4. **Cold exposure: The fourth way to kickstart your weight loss again** Cold exposure can stimulate BAT activity, increase glucose and lipid uptake, and lead to metabolic benefits like increased energy expenditure and insulin sensitivity^6. [Study: Cold and Exercise: Therapeutic Tools to Activate Brown Adipose Tissue and Combat Obesity](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6466122/) ^6 5. **Detoxing the liver: The fifth way to kickstart your weight loss again** [Study: The Role of Insulin Resistance in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease](https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/91/12/4753/2656230) ^7   Use supplement code NURSEDOZA at idovitamins.com .

The paper “Clinical Care Pathway for the Risk Stratification and Management of Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease” is a clarion call to action, but what exactly should clinicians do? This conversation From the Vault addresses that issue. Louise Campbell starts by stating that the World Health Organization should incorporate Fatty Liver disease into their diabetes initiative. Next, she leads the group into a discussion of the merits of transient elastography, which leads Ken Cusi and Stephen Harrison to discuss blood-based and imaging options clinicians can deploy when they lack access to a FibroScan or similar device. Finally, Roger asks the most important step stakeholders should take now, which provide an array of different actions.

A new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 13 on December 6, 2022, entitled, “Expression of p-STAT3 and c-Myc correlates with P2-HNF4α expression in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).” Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with the metabolic syndrome and is rapidly becoming one of the major causes of hepatic cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), although some cases of HCC have developed in non-cirrhotic livers [1–8]. Although the percentage of patients with NAFLD who ultimately progress to fibrosis and later to HCC is relatively small, the number is significant because of the sheer number of patients who have NAFLD. Because there are no reliable biomarkers to predict the risk of HCC in patients with NAFLD, designing effective and cost-effective surveillance programs aimed at prevention and early detection of HCC is difficult, if not impossible. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify such biomarkers and especially those that may appear at different stages of progression toward HCC. In the current study, researchers Mamoun Younes, Lin Zhang, Baharan Fekry, and Kristin Eckel-Mahan from George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences and McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHealth) studied the expression of two hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4α) isoforms, p-STAT3. and c-Myc in 49 consecutive liver biopsies with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) using immunohistochemistry. “The aim of this study was to determine the relationships between p-STAT3, c-Myc and P2-HNF4α expression in biopsies from livers with NAFLD as potential biomarkers of HCC risk.” All 49 biopsies (100%) were positive for nuclear expression of P1-HNF4α. Twenty-eight (57%) cases were positive for P2-HNF4α, 6 (12%) were positive for p-STAT3 and 5 (10%) were positive for c-Myc. All 6 (100%) p-STAT3-positive cases were also positive for P2-HNF4α (p = 0.03). p-STAT3-positive cases were more likely to be positive for c-Myc (67% vs. 2%, p = 0.0003). Four cases were positive for P2-HNF4α, p-STAT3 and c-Myc. p-STAT3 expression was associated with hypertension (p = 0.037). All c-Myc positive biopsies were from patients with obesity, diabetes and hypertension. Only c-Myc expression was associated with advanced fibrosis; three (60%) of the c-Myc positive cases were associated with advanced fibrosis in contrast to 7 (10%) of the 44 c-Myc negative cases (p = 0.011). “Based on these results, we hypothesize with the following sequence of events with progression of NAFLD: P2-HNF4α expression is followed by expression of p-STAT3 which in turn is followed by the expression of c-Myc. Additional larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28324 Correspondence to: Mamoun Younes - myounes@mfa.gwu.edu Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVR29K6P5I4 Keywords: hepatocyte nuclear factor four alpha, steatohepatitis, immunohistochemistry, hepatocellular carcinoma, isoform To learn more about Oncotarget, visit Oncotarget.com and connect with us on social media: Twitter - https://twitter.com/Oncotarget Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Oncotarget YouTube – www.youtube.com/c/OncotargetYouTube Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/oncotargetjrnl/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/oncotarget/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/oncotarget/ LabTube - https://www.labtube.tv/channel/MTY5OA SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/oncotarget For media inquiries, please contact: media@impactjournals.com

This is a re-posting of Episode 59 due to audio problems with the original posting. Fructose is sweeter than glucose and is often added to processed foods as a sweetener, commonly in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. Some studies suggest that fructose consumption may be associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and some new research, recently presented at ENDO, addresses this issue. Host Aaron Lohr talks with one of the authors of this research, Theodore Friedman, MD, PhD, chairman of internal medicine at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine & Science and professor of medicine at University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Friedman and colleagues’ oral presentation at ENDO 2022 is titled, “Fructose Consumption in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in U.S. Adult Population of NHANES 17-18” (NHANES being a national health and nutrition examination survey).

In episode #115, Dr. Jill interviews Dr. Asia Muhammad about the Gut Liver Axis and how it relates to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. They discuss the epidemic proportions of NAFLD in the United States, as well as some of the contributing factors.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease in the United States, affecting almost 10 percent of all children. Sometimes referred to as "fatty liver disease," it is actually a range of diseases that all begin when excess fat gets deposited in the liver, most significantly impacting our obese patients. In today's episode we are joined by guest Shikha Sundaram, MD to discuss the clinical presentation and treatment of NAFLD, including how primary care providers can provide critical support to families making significant lifestyle changes as part of their treatment. Dr. Sundaram is the Medical Director of the Pediatric Liver Transplant Program at Children's Hospital Colorado and is Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.  

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health problem that will only worsen in the future, as it is closely linked to the epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Given this link, endocrinologists and primary care physicians are in an ideal position to identify persons at risk to prevent the development of cirrhosis and comorbidities. Join endocrine expert Vin Tangpricha, M.D., Ph.D., as he interviews AACE Co-Chairs, guideline task force experts, Kenneth Cusi, MD, FACP, FACE, and Scott D. Isaacs, MD, FACP, FACE, about the newly released 2022 clinical practice guideline for the diagnosis and management of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, published in the May 2022 issue of Endocrine Practice (https://www.endocrinepractice.org/article/S1530-891X(22)00090-8/fulltext).

This PedsCases podcast presents an approach to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. It was created by Stephanie Rohnm a medical student at McMaster University, in collaboration with Dr. Mary Zachos, a pediatric gastroenterologist at McMaster University.

In our last episode, we introduced you to Allison. She was dealing with:  Allison was dealing with brain fog, fatigue, and joint pain. She felt much older than her chronological years. Labs showed that her B vitamins, iron, and thyroid were all fine but her symptoms persisted. We spoke with Jason Earle who is the founder and CEO of 1-800-Got-Mold and has appeared as an expert on The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, and Extreme Home Makeover. In that episode, he gave us so much great information about mold and debunked a whole bunch of myths around mold, how to test for it, and how to get rid of it. If you haven't listened to that episode, I highly recommend that you go back and give it a listen.  In this episode, we dive into how to regain your health once you've cleared the mold out of your house and have reduced exposure.    Exposure to Mold Through Diet Many of the symptoms related to mold exposure revolve around inflammation. Despite having dealt with the environmental exposure to mycotoxins and mold in your home, you may still be exposed to them in your diet. Grains, sugar, processed foods, and peanut butter. Removing these from your diet is the next step in detoxing from mold exposure. Doing a no sugar, no grains diet will also help reduce the inflammation that mold exposure will have contributed to.   Purging Mycotoxins from Your Body There are several ways to rid the body of mycotoxins after extended exposure. One is to purge them through sweat (exercise and saunas are great for this). Another is to take glutathione which will stimulate the release of mycotoxins in the body. Urine tests can confirm that mycotoxins are being released. Mycotoxins can be detected in blood and urine. You want to see the mycotoxins in the urine because that proves they are being released.  Jason cautions against believing in any absolute - any singular way to treat mycotoxin exposure. He personally had a bad experience with Cholestyramine despite others having reported being successful in removing toxins (along with removing cholesterol and other fats from the body). You have to find the approach that will work for you but Jason says that lifestyle changes may be the hardest but, in his experience, they are the most effective.    Treat Your Liver Well One of the parts of the body impacted by exposure to microbial VOCs is the liver. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is on the rise with an estimated 30% of Americans affected by it. The American Liver Foundation reports that about 100 million Americans have Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and that NAFLD is the most common form of liver disease in children (having doubled in the past 20 years).  Jason believes this is due to increased exposure to VOC (not just microbial but also chemical VOCs caused by off gassing from plastics, petroleum-based products and other man made products).  To protect the liver's health, decrease or eliminate alcohol and sugar. Use air purifiers. Get outside and work up a sweat.    Don't Ignore Musty Smells Jason reminds us that a musty smell indicates the presence of microbial VOCs. And, as was discussed in the last episode, it's not just mycotoxins we need to be concerned about. If there is a musty smell, then there are microbial VOCs present. Breathing these in along with chemical VOCs (which may not be detectable by odor alone) can cause health issues. It can cause inflammation, impeded breathing (especially for asthmatics), brain fog, and other health concerns.    Top Tips for Reducing Mold and Mold Related Issues To keep things simple, Jason recommends these lifestyle choices: Ventilate spaces well Use an air purifier Keep spaces clean (don't let mold accumulate - wet areas can go moldy in 72 hours) Eat clean (avoid mold harboring foods like sugar, grains, peanut butter, and processed foods) Exercise (sweating helps eliminate toxins from the body) Don't count on a pill (or magic bullet) to do the entire job Don't ignore or dismiss musty smells   Check Your History Jason became interested in the impact of mold on human health from his own experience. He grew up in a moldy farm house and was exposed to a lot of other types of toxins. As a result, he had asthma and many other health issues. It wasn't until he learned about mold, and was able to detox his system that he discovered what it felt like to be healthy. Mold may have been a part of your history too, think back to the buildings and spaces where you spent your time. This is the exposure to other environmental toxins you may have been (or continue to be) exposed to. These could have caused chronic inflammation and could be the root cause of your health issues.    Are you Exposed to Mold? The first step to eliminating mold exposure is to check the environments you spend most of your time in. Jason's company has a mold testing kit that you can find using this link. You'll also find free resources there including an ebook that will help you feel even more informed and in control of your situation. It's important to check your information sources because there is a lot of misinformation out there in this vast and somewhat unregulated field.    Mystery Solved  In Allison's case, we first worked with a certified mold inspector to find what was really going on and then she hired a mold remediator (who was not associated with the inspector) to have things properly cleaned and remediated. She got air purifiers to improve her indoor air quality. From a nutrition perspective, we ran some tests and found that her mitochondria were not functioning well (super common with mold exposure cases - especially those with sensitivities). We decided on a bottom-to-top approach. We first supported her bowels to ensure she is eliminating regularly. We then supported drainage of the liver with bile acids with Advanced TUDCA by CellCore. Along with this, we used their Biotoxin Binder which is a water soluble binder and does not include any charcoal.  After this we supported her liver, kidney and lymphatic system with KL Support and LymphActiv and worked on the mitochondria with molecular hydrogen and Mitochondrial NRG from Designs for Health.   Happy Ending The results for Allison were fantastic. As we were finishing up the protocol, she reported that her joint pain was completely gone (she'd already forgotten how bad it had been only weeks before). Now that her home environment has been cleared and her body is back in balance, she's thrilled to be feeling better again.    Eliminating Health Mysteries For Allison's case we were able to find that missing piece of the health puzzle and help her regain her health.

Drs. Karl and Spencer Nadolsky discuss screening for and treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Learn: - What NAFLD is - Why you should be aware of it - The difference between nonalcoholic fatty liver and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis - What to do if you get it - What diets are best to treat or prevent it

With nonalcoholic fatty liver disease affecting nearly a third of the US population, Luma Melo, University of Pittsburgh, describes how mouse studies have shown that low-impact exercise can help reverse liver damage. Dr. Melo also shares with co-hosts Anne Chappelle and David Faulkner how research funding works in her native Brazil and the role of Brazilian women in toxicology. About the GuestLuma Melo, PhD, University of Pittsburgh, started her scientific career in her native Brazil, earning a master's degree in physics from the University of São Paulo, where she also served as an Associated Instructor. She then earned a master's degree in the philosophy of science and medicine and a PhD in environmental health from Indiana University in the United States.Dr. Melo's research focuses on liver disease (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) and exercise. She is exploring mode of action and genetic expression related to how exercise and environmental chemicals modulate the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases, as well as liver fibrosis and the mechanisms and determinants of mortality of alcoholic liver disease through translational studies including human samples and experimental models of liver disease. She also has conducted research involving aerobic exercise and breast cancer and published a book on quantum physics for laypeople titled But After All … What Is Quantum Physics?Dr. Melo is currently a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and an Adjunct Professor with Ball State University.
