You may be asking yourself, why the liver? So many of you may be neglecting one of the busiest and most powerful organs of our body, not realising that it is a part of your digestive system. In today’s episode, Sandra and Wagdy take an in-depth look at liver health from discussing the most common liver conditions to understanding the role of nutrition in maximising your liver’s health. This episode covers:

• Going through the most important functions of the liver including its most critical roles in the realm of digestive health
• The most common liver conditions including Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is on the rise
• Looking at the role of dietitians in managing NAFLD
• Symptoms of liver disease
• The Gut-Liver connection
• Specific nutrients and foods that promote liver health
• Prevention strategies to reduce your risk of liver disease

This was one jam-packed episode that could have gone for hours especially when discussing NAFLD, given how prevalent it is becoming. Remember, if you’re concerned about the health of your liver, always consult your doctor or specialist gastroenterologist especially if you’re experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned in this episode.
