Liver's Importance
The liver is vital for metabolism, protein synthesis, and detoxification, with no substitute if it fails.
Unlike other vital organs, there's no external support for the liver, making transplant the only option.

Alcohol's Liver Toxicity
Excess alcohol harms the liver because its metabolite, acetaldehyde, disrupts liver cells.
In this quarterly podcast summary (QPS) episode, Peter summarizes his biggest takeaways from the last three months of guest interviews on the podcast. Peter shares key insights from each episode, covering diverse topics such as liver health with Julia Wattacheril, heart rate variability with Joel Jamieson, artificial intelligence with Zak Kohane, klotho for brain health with Dena Dubal, and lactate and lactate metabolism with George Brooks. Additionally, Peter shares any personal behavioral adjustments or modifications to his patient care practices that have arisen from these engaging discussions.
