Fatty Liver Explained | Episode 16
Welcome back to Wellness Gupshup!
In Episode 16, we’re diving into one of the fastest-growing health concerns worldwide: fatty liver disease.
Many people think liver problems only affect those who drink alcohol, but non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming increasingly common—even among people who rarely drink.
Your liver is your body’s metabolic powerhouse, performing more than 500 vital functions every day. It helps regulate blood sugar, balance hormones, produce cholesterol and bile, store essential vitamins and minerals, and detoxify everything from medications to environmental toxins.
So what happens when excess fat starts building up in the liver?
In this episode, we break down the real drivers behind fatty liver, including insulin resistance, processed sugars—especially fructose—poor gut health, chronic stress, and lifestyle factors that quietly impact your metabolism.
We also discuss:
• The essential functions of the liver and why it deserves more attention• The difference between alcohol-related and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease• How insulin resistance contributes to liver fat accumulation• The connection between gut health, leaky gut, and liver function• Why processed sugars and sugary drinks can overload the liver• Key blood tests and markers to monitor, including ALT, AST, HbA1c, fasting insulin, lipid panels, and hs-CRP• The role of exercise, strength training, and muscle mass in improving liver health• Foods and nutrients that may support liver function, including cruciferous vegetables, choline-rich foods, probiotics, curcumin, and vitamin D
The good news? Fatty liver is often reversible with the right nutrition, movement, stress management, and lifestyle changes.
Tune in for a practical, evidence-informed conversation to help you better understand your liver and take control of your long-term health.
