In this episode, Dr. Yousef Elyaman, a leading functional medicine doctor, takes us into the pathogenesis of fatty liver disease, sharing his expertise on the underlying imbalances and physiological mechanisms that contribute to this complex condition.

We explore how functional medicine looks beyond traditional diagnostics and treatments, focusing instead on the root causes—whether that’s insulin resistance, genetics, diet, gut health, or hormone imbalances. Dr. Elyaman breaks down how comorbidities like obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and thyroid dysfunction are interconnected and why identifying these drivers is critical for lasting, meaningful change.

If you’re ready to connect cutting-edge science with practical strategies for chronic health challenges, join us for a masterclass in functional medicine with Dr. Yousef Elyaman. This episode is packed with insights you can apply immediately to improve patient outcomes or your own health journey.

In this episode, Dr. Datis Kharrazian explores longevity medicine and the hallmarks of aging and disease. How do early signs of loss of resilience—like cognitive decline or changes in physical appearance—offer clues about our biological age? What can cutting-edge studies, such as the Dunedin Longitudinal Study, teach us about predicting poor aging trajectories and preventing chronic diseases like cardiovascular issues and cancer, before they silently take hold?

Dr. Kharrazian uncovers the mechanisms underlying tissue degeneration, explores why resilience is central to healthy aging, and explains how functional medicine clinicians can use biomarkers and in-depth assessments to help shift morbidity later in life. Whether you’re a healthcare practitioner, a nutrition enthusiast, or facing chronic health challenges, this episode bridges the gap between complex science and actionable steps you can implement right now.
