How To Prevent And Reverse Fatty Liver Disease with Functional
Medicine | This episode is sponsored by Rupa Health and Athletic
Greens Having a healthy liver is a vital component to combating the
toxic junk and chemicals in our environment. A healthy liver means
your body stays healthy, you don’t get sick, and you maintain
plenty of energy. Unfortunately however, 90 million Americans—and a
growing number of individuals worldwide—have what is called fatty
liver disease, which literally means your liver fills with fat.
This then paves the path for chronic disease and inflammation. But
the good news is that fatty liver can be easily treated and
reversed with some basic dietary and lifestyle changes. In this
episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Elizabeth Boham to discuss how
our high-starch and high-sugar diets are largely responsible for
driving fatty liver disease, how to know if you have a fatty liver,
and how they work with patients to prevent and reverse it.

Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA.
Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of
