Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, also referred to as Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease, is the most common liver condition globally and the number one threat to your liver health. Recent estimates from the acclaimed Lancet journal suggest that 1 in 3 adults globally have a fatty liver, with 25% of
Inflammation is a contributor, if not a driver, of many of the most prominent health conditions. As a result, eating a more anti-inflammatory diet can help with: Arthritis Anxiety/Depression Fatty Liver Disease PCOS Among many others. This explains why there is a great deal of interest around the foods that
The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD] has been increasing in the last few decades.

The majority of population level data suggests that that current magnesium intake levels are insufficient among a significant portion of adults.

Polyphenols are a family of plant compounds bound together both by their unique chemical structures and their tangible influence on human health.

Camu-camu, scientifically Myrciaria dubia, is a plant species native to the Amazon rainforest that bears a polyphenol-rich fruit resembling a cherry.

In my career I’ve always to devote extra attention to families of foods that are either under consumed or underappreciated relative to their nutritional value.
