Fatty Liver
About Fatty Liver
Fatty liver often turns up by surprise on an ultrasound or routine labs, and people come to DrTalks to understand what it means. Liver enzymes creeping up, weight gain, fatigue, rising blood sugar, and fatty liver alongside type 2 diabetes or thyroid problems are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past the liver. Fatty liver is tied to insulin resistance, processed food and sugar, inflammation, gut health, your thyroid, and household chemicals and pesticides. You'll find conversations on how common fatty liver has become, the liver's role in type 2 diabetes, the thyroid and fatty liver connection, and how weight affects liver health. Doctors, naturopaths and nutrition experts explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from liver imaging and liver function panels to continuous glucose monitors, and what helps, from whole-food eating and cutting back on processed food to vitamins, herbs and time-restricted eating.
