The Health Pulse

Chronic Liver Disease | Episode 77


Listen Later

Your liver works tirelessly behind the scenes—performing over 500 vital functions every single day—yet liver disease has quietly become one of the most overlooked health crises in America, affecting 1 in 10 adults. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we uncover why liver disease often goes undetected until it’s advanced, and what you can do to protect this extraordinary organ before it’s too late.

We walk through the progression of liver disease, from simple fat accumulation to dangerous scarring, using the vivid analogy of a garden slowly being overtaken by weeds. You’ll learn how conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcohol-related liver injury, and metabolic dysfunction are fueling this epidemic.

We also highlight the subtle, early symptoms—like persistent fatigue or digestive issues—that many dismiss as stress or poor diet, but may actually be your liver’s first cries for help. Most importantly, we share how simple blood tests and lifestyle interventions can detect problems early and even reverse certain forms of damage.

This episode empowers you to understand, monitor, and support your liver—the unsung hero of your health
