When discussing chronic disease and crucial organs, we don’t always think about the role the liver plays in our body. Yet, the liver has a role in every metabolic process in the body, including ensuring our blood sugar levels are stable or ensuring that amino acids are converted into fuel.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Kristin Kirkpatrick & Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh to shed light on an epidemic affecting one in four people: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Dr. Hanouneh and Kristin share the biggest risk factors that lead to fatty liver disease including, metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, and insulin resistance.
