Having a healthy liver is a vital component to combating the toxic junk and chemicals in our environment. A healthy liver means your body stays healthy, you don’t get sick, and you maintain plenty of energy. Unfortunately however, 90 million Americans—and a growing number of individuals worldwide—have what is called fatty liver disease, which literally means your liver fills with fat. This then paves the path for chronic disease and inflammation. But the good news is that fatty liver can be easily treated and reversed with some basic dietary and lifestyle changes.
In this episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Elizabeth Boham to discuss how our high-starch and high-sugar diets are largely responsible for driving fatty liver disease, how to know if you have a fatty liver, and how they work with patients to prevent and reverse it.
Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing. Dr. Boham has contributed to many articles and wrote the latest chapter on Obesity for the Rankel Textbook of Family Medicine. She is part of the faculty of the Institute for Functional Medicine and has been featured on the Dr. Oz show and in a variety of publications and media including Huffington Post, The Chalkboard Magazine, and Experience Life. Her DVD Breast Wellness: Tools to Prevent and Heal from Breast Cancer explores the Functional Medicine approach to keeping your breasts and whole body well.

Thank you
Thank you for this. This video has come at the right time. I was diagnosed with non alcohol fatty liver a short while ago. I’m now on keto and feel a lot less sluggish and more energetic.
@ET Himself yes it is
Try milk thistle supplements they did wonder to my liver
Vegans say we don’t need oil or butter so who’s right?
@James Caringal Correct
@Elsa Gonzalez A, D, E, and K
@James Caringal Eat the whole foods, which contain some fat, Iike nuts and seeds. Even one walnut contains enough fat to optimize the absorption of beta carotene in a serving of carrots.
Extracted oil is not optimal. It’s best to eat the whole foods, which contain some fat, Iike nuts, seeds, avocados, coconut, etc. Even one walnut contains enough fat to optimize the absorption of beta carotene in a serving of carrots.
@chandelie4 Cold pressed healthy oils ante very healthy
My doctor is so clueless.
Then move on. Life’s too short.
another factor to look out for is parasites from food, which would affect absorption of nutrients, cleaning fruits and vegetables along side having organic foods, would ensure all solutions provided will be optimal
1 of the biggest baddies is Processed Food
I love Mark but love him more when he has Elizabeth on ….love listening to her explaining etc.
Variety and quality > lack of variety and quantity.
Dr. Hyman you are looking great ‼️
One positive factor for my health: I will never have to worry about alcohol.
I was born with a condition that prevents me from being able to break it down, so I don’t drink it at all, or use perfume, lotion, use booze in cooking, use nasal spray, which uses it to carry the active ingredients, or use hand sanitizer.
I also don’t let the hospital lab use it before drawing blood.
For the last two I use normal soap, without alcohol, and betadine for blood draws
Take your liver health seriously. Drinking alcohol is the worst thing to do to an already stressed liver. My husband died from liver cancer, though a “moderate” drinker. He was obese at different times and and also had Hepatitis C. The triple wammy. You can’t live without a liver.
This video is Soooooooo long…………. She never gives Mark a chance to speak
I reversed a Severe Fatty Liver on a Clean Keto diet and I lost 150lbs. From 321lbs to 170lbs at 5’11” & 60 years old. Only exercise – walking.
Kudos! Keep living well.
Thank you for inspiring me !
Way to looooooooong
On September 9, 2019 I received a diagnosis of NAFLD with NASH and F3-F4 fibrosis. I adopted a ketogenic diet and a year later my liver issues were completely resolved, all my visceral fat was gone, I dropped 60 pounds and was able to begin exercising. People really need to attend to their diets.
