The liver is one of our essential organs performing hundreds of functions that keep us healthy and alive. It’s a vital, yet often overlooked, part of our digestive system that deserves our love and attention. This episode features Donna Cryer, a 28 year liver transplant survivor. Donna joins us to share her patient journey, which led her to become the Founder and CEO of The Global Liver Institute. We discuss why the liver is so important, some lifestyle habits that may contribute to liver disease and how we can support our liver health.
