If you do a lot of reading, you\\u2019ve probably seen tons of books and articles about topics like mental health, heart health, and gut health. But there\\u2019s one incredibly important, powerhouse organ that has been overlooked in this conversation\\u2014the liver.

In ancient cultures, the liver was thought to be at the root of human consciousness and self-awareness. But today, most folks hardly consider the health or function of their liver\\u2014and when they do, it\\u2019s typically after a night of drinking. The truth is, our livers play a huge role in hormone function, digestion, fat burning, and creating energy.

That\\u2019s why when I read Dr. Alan Christianson\\u2019s new book, The Metabolism Reset Diet, I felt like my wish had been granted! His smart, science-based approach to restoring liver function is exactly what has been missing from common knowledge. On today\\u2019s show, Dr. Christianson\\xa0is sharing the basic mechanisms behind the liver, why it matters, and how you can hit the reset button on your metabolism.

In this episode you\\u2019ll discover:

  • The one thing that naturally thin people have in their favor.
  • How your body\\u2019s metabolism really works.
