Is Your Liver Healthy?
Did you know that an estimated 1.5 billion people around the world are affected by a liver condition? This fact might lead you to the core question of this show: Is Your Liver Healthy? In monthly conversations, our host Jeff McIntyre explores a new part of the answer to this question by sitting down with the people who know the most about liver health and related conditions – whether that's through their medical research, training and practice, personal experiences, or professional work. Join each month to learn what affects liver health, how liver disease impacts lives, and the actions we can all take to improve liver health for ourselves and our communities. "Is Your Liver Healthy?" is produced by Global Liver Institute (GLI). It was born out of the interview show GLI LIVE, which GLI started in March 2020 as a COVID-19 response program for liver patients.
