Manage episode 443111659 series 2715240
I am honored to have Kristin Kirkpatrick joining me today. She is a registered dietitian, bestselling author, presenter, and dietitian with the Department of Wellness and Preventative Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic.
The fatty liver epidemic now affects one in four people globally. In our discussion today, we explore who is most at risk, the essential functions of the liver, and how factors like COVID, stress, overeating, and alcohol contribute to the problem. We dive into the role of visceral fat, and Kristin shares her go-to labs and tests for assessing metabolic health. We break down why SECO is outdated, why sugar is particularly harmful to the body, and the effects of andropause, menopause, and other hormonal changes. We also tackle the toxic diet culture, under-eating, alcohol, poor sleep, exercise, carb restriction, beneficial supplements, and how nutrigenomics can guide us in navigating bio-individuality.
I know you will love this eye-opening conversation with Kristin Kirkpatrick.
