The liver performs hundreds of vital functions and influences far more than just digestion. It regulates key processes in fat, sugar, protein, and hormone metabolism, thus also playing a crucial role in testosterone, muscle mass, heart health, and longevity.
In this episode, University Professor Dr. Ali Canbay discusses why normal liver values alone do not guarantee a healthy liver, how obesity, alcohol, medications, and uncontrolled supplementation strain the organ, and why fatty liver often goes unnoticed for a long time. He also explains how the liver can regenerate and which tests are truly worthwhile.
Topics covered in this episode:
- Why the liver is considered the "mother of all organs"
- How liver health, testosterone, and muscle mass are connected

- Why supplements can unnecessarily strain the liver
