About this listen

 Did you know that an estimated 1.5 billion people around the world are affected by a liver condition? This fact might lead you to the core question of this show: Is Your Liver Healthy? In monthly conversations, our host Jeff McIntyre explores a new part of the answer to this question by sitting down with the people who know the most about liver health and related conditions – whether that's through their medical research, training and practice, personal experiences, or professional work. Join each month to learn what affects liver health, how liver disease impacts lives, and the actions we can all take to improve liver health for ourselves and our communities. "Is Your Liver Healthy?" is produced by Global Liver Institute (GLI). It was born out of the interview show GLI LIVE, which GLI started in March 2020 as a COVID-19 response program for liver patients. Hygiene & Healthy Living

    Learn about common misconceptions and the pathway that you might experience to investigate and evaluate your liver's health with your health care team. Our host, Jeff McIntyre, is joined by Dr. Julia Wattacheril, MASLD Director at Columbia NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and expert clinician and researcher, to zoom out and illuminate the big picture of liver health as well as the process and techniques that you might encounter.

    With as many as one in three people in the world experiencing liver disease (especially metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, known as MASLD and colloquially, fatty liver disease), this knowledge is extremely valuable.

    Learn more about MASLD and help raise awareness through GLI's Global Fatty Liver Day, on June 12, 2025.
