Yeah, so Drew, it's really interesting. This data is actually a little bit older. We don't have the updated data yet. Some assumptions now are that it could be as severe as even one in three. Could be greater than what we think. Definitely one in four. Fatty liver disease is simply having excess fat in the liver. So the liver is supposed to have some fat.

Once you get over about 10% of fat and fat starts to overtake healthy liver cells, now you have something called fatty liver disease. And that's basically the gist of what it is. But it is what comes because of it that really is the alarming factors, right? And this phrase that I used, once fat overtakes healthy liver tissue.

So once we have kind of that hijacking of overtaking of having healthy liver tissue being replaced by unhealthy, fibrotic, inflamed tissue, the liver no longer works the way it should. And that causes a whole host of problems.

You know, the silent nature of this is really what I've seen in my practice and the hepatologists that I've worked with. Many people don't get diagnosed with this until they see their liver enzymes are up. And then that's kind of the warning symbol. What's going on here with your liver? So let's just go over some of the risk factors. Insulin resistance is probably one of the greatest risk factors.

The reason for that is because the liver plays such a huge role in regulation of blood sugar. When the body senses that blood sugar is too low, the liver will work towards releasing the stored form of blood sugar. So we don't have that low blood sugar. And so there's a huge connection here. In fact, when we look at that one in four statistic,

we are looking at individuals who have insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes much greater in the stats, right? So probably 80% to 85% of individuals that are suffering from insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes probably also have fatty liver disease as well. And this just speaks to the dysregulation of what is going on in sugar, in their blood sugar.

You and I were talking earlier today about wearing CGMs. I have my CGM on right now as well. It's so interesting to compare my patients and their data with someone who doesn't have insulin resistance and looking at how poor and how less efficient the body is at recognizing how much insulin is necessary. losing what we call that sensitivity.
