Stop Damaging Your Liver with Professor Jacob George

In this must listen episode, we sit down with Australia's leading liver expert Professor Jacob George to talk about one of the body’s most important — and most overlooked — organs: the liver. This miracle organ keeps us alive. It filters, processes, stores, regulates, and protects us, yet most of us know very little about it until something goes wrong. Today that changes.  We discuss the basics of the liver along with why fatty liver is now so common, how it links to insulin resistance, visceral fat, menopause, and metabolic disease, and why liver disease can develop silently for years. Professor George explains why liver health matters far beyond alcohol, and how it connects to blood sugar, cholesterol, hormones, inflammation, and long-term disease risk. The good news? The liver can recover if we get in early. We also cover the key tests to know, what can be missed, and the simple lifestyle changes that can help restore liver health and change your future trajectory. Please share this episode with those who need to hear it. If we want to live 120 healthy years we must make better choices for the liver.
