Does the hour you eat matter to your liver, not just what you eat?

A new study in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology followed 199,155 US nurses and health professionals for a median of 16 years. People who regularly ate between dinner and bedtime, or after going to bed, had roughly a 20–30% higher risk of liver disease, including a 28% higher risk of cirrhosis.

Before you panic about the bedtime snack: this is an association, not proof. Eating times were self-reported, what people ate late wasn't recorded, and cirrhosis was uncommon, 315 cases in the whole group. We explain what the headline gets wrong.

Why might timing matter at all? The liver runs on a circadian clock, and the researchers point to what may happen when you eat as it prepares for sleep.

Fatty liver disease may affect as much as 30% of the US population, and most people don't know it. Standard liver enzymes are often normal.

The one change we'd suggest trying: close the kitchen two to three hours before bed, as a two-week experiment.

Last week, Pope Leo XIV had part of his right lung removed for lung adenocarcinoma. He is not known to have smoked, and for many people who never smoked, the news raised one question: could that be me?

The honest answer is more useful than reassurance or alarm. An estimated 10–25% of lung cancers worldwide occur in people who never smoked. In Taiwan's TALENT study, CT screening of 12,011 never-smokers found that 77% of cancers were stage I. So why don't US guidelines recommend scanning never-smokers? Issue 12 explains.

Also this week, graded and read by a physician:
• Two ultra-processed food studies with opposite headlines. Why both can be right.
• A randomized trial where 54% of young adults with type 2 diabetes reached remission at 24 weeks, vs 4% with usual care.
• New dementia cases projected to more than double by 2050, and the part of that headline people miss.
• A New England Journal of Medicine trial on glucose monitors for people who don't use insulin.

Some days turn into weeks and then months and then years. Never let inactivity form a chain of more than two links. Or never let three days complete without doing some form of physical activity. It’s the greatest lever you can pull for your health and longevity. Stay healthy! ✌️💪🔥

Great evening with the leadership team at Precision Imaging here in Orlando, alongside Mason Villareal and Adrienne Huff, celebrating the continued advancement of diagnostic imaging.

Precision Imaging hosted a reception showcasing its newest technology in diagnostic radiology—and just as impressive as the technology is the environment they’ve created around it.

This is a high-end, hospitality-driven imaging experience where our patients can expect exceptional service from the moment they walk through the door. Advanced technology matters, but so does the way patients are treated throughout their healthcare journey.

At EverHealth Institute, we are intentional about the partners we trust with our patients. Precision Imaging shares our commitment to elevating the standard—not only in diagnostic quality, but in the overall patient experience.

Thank you to the entire Precision Imaging team for continuing to raise the bar in diagnostic imaging and radiology for our patients.

We look forward to a strong partnership and continued collaboration centered around one thing: exceptional patient care.
