Asking for a Friend - Health, Fitness & Personal Growth Tips for Women in Midlife

In midlife, when we think about our overall wellness, the topics of menopause, weight gain, bone and joint health, and our skin are usually top-of-mind, but what about our livers? This organ often gets forgotten until there is an actual issue.
On this episode we are unlocking the secrets of liver health with liver specialist Dr. Supriya Joshi, as we navigate the underrated importance of this vital organ in your midlife journey. Through our in-depth conversation, you'll gain a wealth of knowledge about how metabolic health intertwines with liver function and the steps you can take to prevent conditions like fatty liver disease. Dr. Joshi's approach shatters the conventional reliance on medication, championing lifestyle adjustments and preventive measures to achieve lasting well-being.
Embark on a myth-busting expedition about liver disease and its connection to diet, especially the often misunderstood roles of fat, sugar, and alcohol. Our discussion reveals the pivotal role of muscle mass in metabolic health and unwraps the complexities of aging's impact on our bodies' alcohol metabolism. Dr. Joshi equips you with the truth behind liver detox fads and the actionable insights needed to make informed decisions about supporting your liver health through consistent, healthy living.
The episode culminates with a powerful blend of dietary and exercise strategies designed to revitalize your health. Learn why eating vegetables first could revolutionize your eating habits, the importance of protein and healthy fats in your diet, and how intentional exercise, like zone two training, enhances mitochondrial health. With Dr. Joshi's expert advice at your fingertips, you're empowered to embark on a proactive path toward a healthier liver and a more vibrant life.
CORRECTION:
In the podcast Dr. Joshi accidentally misstated that a can of Coke contains 10 grams of sugar. She meant to say 10 teaspoons of sugar.
Also, she wishes to clarify that two-thirds of North Americans with type two diabetes have fatty liver disease, but one-third of all North Americans have it.
