Fatty liver disease affects a massive 1 in 3 people, yet most of us don’t even realise we have it - until it’s too late. But it is reversible. I know, because I’ve done it myself.
In this episode I speak to Dr Vishal Patel, Consultant Hepatologist & Endoscopist at the Liver Unit, King's College Hospital. He breaks down the surprising impact of liver health on your whole body, warning signs that something’s wrong - and how to protect your liver.
