Episode notes
Metabolic Fatty Liver Prevalence
- Fatty liver disease affects about 40-50% of Americans, including many not visibly overweight.
- It stems from metabolic dysfunction like high blood sugar and insulin resistance, not just alcohol use.
Gut Bacteria Producing Alcohol
- Some gut bacteria like Klebsiella can produce alcohol internally, causing fatty liver in non-drinkers.
- This internal 'brewery' effect contributes to liver stress and symptoms like brain fog.
Cut Ultra-Processed Foods
- Avoid ultra-processed foods and high fructose corn syrup to reduce liver fat.
- Choose real whole foods without labels and limit processed carbs that worsen metabolic dysfunction.
