319. Fatty Liver: The Organ Stalling Your Weight Loss

If the scale won’t budge, your liver may be part of the reason. Gary Brecka explains fatty liver, now called MASLD, and why it shows up in roughly 75% of people with obesity. Learn how a fat-filled liver can stop responding to insulin, keep releasing sugar, and make stored fat harder to burn, and how leptin resistance can leave you hungry after eating enough. He also covers the diet, movement, and sleep habits that support liver health. Don’t guess, test.
