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.\xa0\nThe 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 We break down why SECO is outdated, why sugar is particularly harmful to the body, and the effects of andropause, menopause, and other hormonal changes.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.\nI know you will love this eye-opening conversation with Kristin Kirkpatrick.\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:\n\nWhy fatty liver is a silent epidemic\n\nThe connection between fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance\n\nHow the COVID-19 infection impacts the liver\xa0\n\nHow non-alcoholic fatty liver gets diagnosed\n\nWhat are the primary functions of the liver?\n\nHow ultra-processed foods contribute to sugar intake and impact metabolic health\n\nWhy we must nourish the body with nutrient-dense foods instead of focusing on calorie restriction\n\nHow does aging affect metabolic health?\n\nWhy it is essential to maintain muscle mass during menopause\n\nThe role of exercise in maintaining metabolic health\n\nHow nutrigenomics helps in understanding genetic influences\xa0\n\n\nConnect with Cynthia Thurlow\xa0\xa0\n\nFollow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn\n\n\nCheck out Cynthia\u2019s website\n\n\nSubmit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com\n\n\n\n\ufeffConnect with Kristin Kirkpatrick\n\nOn her website\n\n\nOn social media: @fuelwellwithkrissy
