When the Liver Fails, Sugar Follows: A Diabetes Deep Dive | Andy De Santis | Podcast

Send us Fan MailFatty Liver (MASLD) Is Rising- Here’s How to Reverse It (Without Going “All or Nothing”) Registered Dietitian & author Andy De Santis joins host Sandeep Misra to cut through hype and lay out what actually works for fatty liver (aka MASLD). We cover why it’s being diagnosed younger, especially in men, and the link to low testosterone and fertility. Learn how insulin resistance drives liver fat, what labs/imaging matter (triglycerides, HDL, ultrasound/FibroScan), and the biggest dietary culprits (sugary drinks, refined carbs, processed/red meat, alcohol).Most importantly: the playbook. Andy’s “curated high-polyphenol Mediterranean” pattern thinks fatty fish or EPA/DHA (algae) supplements, beans/lentils, nuts, berries/flax/coffee/tea, herbs & spices, olives/avocado, plus why aerobic exercise trims liver fat more than lifting alone. You’ll get day-one habits (fruit + nuts snack, canned-bean hack, daily walk, 4-7-8 breathing), why women should prioritize glucose control even more, and a sane mindset: it’s a game of averages, not perfection.Takeaways: Fix the inputs, stack simple wins, and you can meaningfully reduce liver fat often without massive weight loss. Visit HealD for more resources on diabetes management!
