In this episode we discuss:

  • Why low-carb diets are NOT a good solution for fatty liver 
  • How fat-burning and lipolysis actually contribute to fatty liver 
  • Why ketone production is a sign of stress and inhibited mitochondrial respiration 
  • The role of uncoupling in NAFLD and why aiming to increase uncoupling is misguided
  • Why low-fat diets don’t directly address the root cause of NAFLD 

3:56 – how fat-burning and lipolysis contribute to NAFLD

16:59 – the role of uncoupling in NAFLD

26:56 – how an energy failure and oxidative stress drive stress-processes in NAFLD

34:53 – the role of increases in stress hormones and fat-burning/lipolysis in NAFLD

37:54 – why low-carb diets drive stress and aren’t a good solution for fatty liver or insulin resistance
