What Causes A Fatty Liver And How To Fix It

This episode is brought to you by Rupa University, Mitopure,
Levels, and Super Simple Protein.  Fatty liver is a dangerous
yet misunderstood disease that is growing more and more common, and
its effects are numerous. Fatty liver happens when fat replaces
your liver cells and thereby compromises its important functions,
thus increasing inflammation in the body. Surprisingly, it is not
fat that causes a fatty liver, but sugar and starch. In today’s
episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Dr. Robert Lustig, and
Shawn Stevenson about the importance of our liver and how to
support it. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who
practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox,
MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of
people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She
witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is
committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in
healing. Dr. Robert Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist with expertise
in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He’s the Emeritus Professor
of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology and a member of the
Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. He is also one of the
leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the
food industry, in part through his game-changing books. Shawn
Stevenson is the author of the international bestselling book Sleep
Smarter and creator of The Model Health Show, featured as the
number one health podcast in the US, with millions of listener
downloads each year. A graduate of the University of Missouri–St.
Louis, Shawn studied business, biology, and nutritional science and
went on to found Advanced Integrative Health Alliance, a company
that provides wellness services for individuals and organizations
worldwide. This episode is brought to you by Rupa University,
