How to Reverse Fatty Liver Disease Without Medication (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fatty liver disease is often discovered by accident. Maybe your ALT or AST is mildly elevated, or an ultrasound shows fat accumulating in your liver. The good news is that fatty liver is often reversible, especially when you address it early. In this episode, I explain why fat builds up in the liver and share four practical ways to reduce it: eliminating liquid sugar and fructose, creating a sustainable eating window, eating more cruciferous vegetables and choline-rich foods, and adding moderate
More Protein, More Exercise, Worse Results? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What do you do when you believe you're eating well and exercising consistently, but the results tell a very different story? In this episode, I share the case of a health coaching client whose DEXA scan showed far more visceral fat and far less muscle than he expected.

We get into blood sugar, insulin, cortisol, cravings, visceral fat, and why poor sleep can make weight loss much harder even when you're exercising and eating reasonably well. I also explain what happens to hormones like leptin and ghrelin , why deep sleep and REM bo
How to Reverse Fatty Liver: My 4-Step Lifestyle Plan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fatty liver disease is something I'm seeing more and more in my patients, and one of the problems is that you may have it without realizing it. In this episode, I explain what fatty liver actually is, why visceral fat matters, and why I pay attention to liver markers like ALT and AST. More importantly, I walk you through the four lifestyle changes I use to help improve fatty liver: cutting back on liquid sugars and fructose, creating a reasonable eating window, eating foods that support liver he
