Ever wonder how much your liver really affects your overall health and weight?
The liver plays a central role in metabolism, yet its importance is often underestimated.
In this week’s episode, we spoke with Dr. Rajvanshi, a board-certified gastroenterologist, hepatologist, and obesity medicine specialist at Valley Medical Center in Riten, Washington. Beyond his clinical practice, he’s a health technology entrepreneur, developing AI tools to support obesity medicine for both clinicians and patients, and he is actively involved in the Obesity Medicine Association.
Topics we covered include:
- The Liver: More Than a Detox Organ
- Liver Damage Can Be Reversed
- Fatty Liver to Fibrosis: What You Need to Know
- Why Fatty Liver Screening Is Essential
- Supplements vs. Real Nutrition for Liver Health
- Alcohol’s Impact on Your Liver
- Modern Treatments: Resmetirom, Semaglutide, and Liver Health
Many people think of the liver simply as the body’s detoxifier, but it’s far more complex and vital. It supports metabolism, nutrient processing, and overall health. Understanding and maintaining liver health is key to long-term wellness, especially when it comes to weight management and metabolic health.
Dr. Rajvanshi’s approach highlights a modern principle in medicine: treat the root causes, not just the symptoms. By addressing liver care alongside metabolic health and obesity medicine, clinicians can help patients prevent serious complications, reduce the need for invasive treatments, and improve quality of life.
For a deeper dive into how these insights translate into real-life health and weight outcomes, the full conversation is well worth a listen.
