Ep: 72 | Fatty Liver: The Silent Energy Drainer

Are you experiencing chronic fatigue, brain fog, bloating, or stubborn belly fat that won't budge no matter what you try? Your liver might be sending you distress signals. In this episode of the Gut Fix Podcast, functional health practitioner Wendy explores non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)—one of the most common yet overlooked metabolic conditions affecting women over 40.

 

What You'll Learn:

 

Discover what causes fatty liver disease beyond alcohol consumption, including hidden sugars in healthy foods, gut dysbiosis, hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause, chronic stress, and environmental toxins. Learn why standard blood work often misses early liver dysfunction and how functional lab testing can uncover the root causes of metabolic inflammation.

 

Wendy explains the gut-liver axis connection and how endotoxins from bacterial overgrowth (LPS) travel directly to your liver, triggering inflammation and fat accumulation. You'll understand the role of estrogen dominance, cortisol imbalance, and oxidative stress in liver health.

 

Functional Testing Covered:

 

•GI-MAP stool testing for dysbiosis, H. pylori, yeast overgrowth, and beta-glucuronidase

•Metabolic Wellness Profile measuring indican, bile acids, and 8-OHdG oxidative stress markers

•Stress & Hormone Panel for cortisol rhythm, DHEA, and estrogen metabolism

•Mucosal Barrier Assessment including zonulin, histamine, and DAO enzyme levels

 

Natural Reversal Strategies:

 

Learn evidence-based approaches to reverse fatty liver naturally, including blood sugar stabilization, omega-3 supplementation, gut healing protocols, sulfur-rich foods for liver detoxification, stress management techniques, and targeted supplements like NAC, milk thistle, TUDCA, and magnesium.

Perfect for women experiencing unexplained weight gain, hormone imbalance, digestive issues, high cholesterol, or metabolic syndrome symptoms who want to take a functional medicine approach to liver health and energy restoration.

 

Stay happy, stay healthy!
