Liver Health, Cirrhosis, Fatty Liver Disease, and Coffee, with Dr. Sanjiv Chopra

Harvard Medical Professor and hepatologist Dr. Sanjiv Chopra is on the show to talk about an under-discussed topic in the health and wellness world: liver health. Sanjiv gives an overview of how much of the modern free world's diet- high in sugar and highly processed- is wreaking havoc on the human liver. He discusses the perils of sugar and alcohol consumption, and also touches on the effects of these substances on telomeres. Sanjiv goes on to discuss liver scarring and fibrosis, which leads to an interesting conversation regarding non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Then the conversation turns towards coffee, and Sanjiv explains some of his theories as to why high quality coffee is so incredibly beneficial to the liver. He also expands on studies that work with caffeine versus caffeinated coffee, and talks about the vast differences between those two subjects. —Ready to get started drinking delicious, organic, consciously sourced, healthy coffee?
