In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Todd LePine discuss metabolic-associated fatty liver disease, now affecting a significant portion of the American population, including children. They explore the root causes from a functional medicine perspective, including the role of high fructose corn syrup, gut microbiome imbalances (like Klebsiella overgrowth), and mitochondrial dysfunction. They discuss diagnostic tests beyond routine panels, such as GGT, glucose tolerance tests, and the FIB4 index, as well as imaging techniques. The doctors emphasize the importance of dietary changes, supplements like MCT oil, N-acetylcysteine, and milk thistle, along with lifestyle adjustments to reverse fatty liver and address underlying metabolic issues, advocating for a holistic approach to chronic disease management. They also promote Dr. Hyman's membership community, The Hyman Hive, and the UltraWellness Center as resources for those seeking support and treatment.
