Living Better with Fatty Liver Disease 

The liver is one of our most vital organs so taking proper care of it is equally vital. The liver is the body’s leading toxin-removing organ and plays a pivotal role in metabolism. Nearly everything you put into your body, at one point or another, is processed by the liver. Randall Stafford, MD, PhD, discusses weight-related metabolic liver problems, fatty liver disease, new guidelines for daily alcohol intake, and how to maintain overall liver health.
The liver is the body’s leading toxin removal organ and has an important role in metabolism. Randall Stafford, MD, PhD, explains the role of the liver, basic terminology, tests for assessing liver function (blood tests, imaging tests, & tissue biopsy), and sources of liver injury (toxins, infections, metabolic dysfunction, traumatic injury, and cancer). He shares information on the stages of liver disease, insulin resistance, mechanism of cardiometabolic disease, BMI and body fat distribution, the role of alcohol in liver function, and treatment of fatty liver disease. Dr. Stafford outlines strategies to keep your liver healthy, reduce chronic inflammation, and enact health behavior changes. Learn how to keep your liver healthy through weight loss, healthy eating, and physical activity (aerobic, strength training, and core training).
