Most people don’t think about their liver — until there’s a problem. In this episode of The Checkup, we’re talking about fatty liver disease: what it is, why it’s becoming more common, and how it can quietly develop without obvious symptoms.

Join us as we break down the risk factors, early warning signs, lifestyle habits that matter most, and simple steps you can take to protect your liver health before small issues become bigger ones. Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed, have questions about your risk, or just want to better understand your health, this conversation offers practical information without the overwhelm.

Because sometimes the health issues you don’t feel are the ones worth paying attention to most.
