Ep. 64: The True Cause of Fatty Liver (NAFLD Part 2)

In this episode we discuss:

• Why fructose doesn’t cause leptin resistance

• How our livers produce fat from fructose or dietary fat

• How a failure of energy production (mitochondrial respiration) causes NAFLD 

• Why increases in uncoupling, autophagy, mitophagy, and other stress pathways is often a sign of dysfunction and stress
