🚨 Fatty liver isn't just a liver problem.
Sometimes fatty liver is discovered almost by accident—during an ultrasound, routine imaging, or after a lab result starts trending in the wrong direction.
But here's the bigger question:
What was happening in the body BEFORE the fatty liver showed up?
In this week's Wellness Illuminated, Dr. Lara May takes us beneath the surface to explore the metabolic story behind fatty liver.
We’re talking about:
🧬 Insulin resistance
🔥 Metabolic dysfunction
🩸 Glucose & triglyceride regulation
🫀 Visceral fat
⚡ Mitochondrial function
💪 Muscle mass & metabolic health
🌿 Nutrition & exercise
✨ Hormonal changes, including menopause
🔬 Lab testing and metabolic markers
The liver is doing far more than simply "detoxing." It's a major metabolic processing center involved in glucose regulation, lipid metabolism, hormone metabolism, nutrient storage, drug metabolism, immune signaling, and so much more.
And fatty liver may be one visible piece of a much larger metabolic conversation.
Dr. Lara also explores the "metabolic breadcrumbs" that may appear years before fatty liver is diagnosed—and why understanding those patterns matters.

Your liver may be telling you more about your overall metabolic health than you realize. 💛
