Liver Health & Metabolic Profiles with Kristin Kirkpatrick & Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh

Registered dietitian Kristen Kirkpatrick and liver disease
specialist Dr. Ibrahim Hanoune unravel the complexities of the
liver's functions and the alarming rise of non-alcoholic fatty
liver disease (NAFLD). Learn how this condition skyrocketed from
affecting 5.5% of the population in 1988 to a staggering 40% in
2022 and discover its far-reaching impacts on cardiovascular
health, diabetes, and cognitive function. They dive into
recognizing the early and late-stage symptoms and managing
systemic inflammation through actionable dietary and lifestyle
choices.


This episode explores the gender-specific nuances of NAFLD,
particularly how hormonal shifts post-menopause put women at an
increased risk. Discover the critical role estrogen plays in
protecting heart and metabolic health, and learn tailored
strategies to manage weight, sleep, and blood sugar levels.
