Fatty Liver at a Healthy Weight? How to Test for It, Prevent It, and Treat It

Around 30% of adults have fatty liver disease, and about one in five people with the condition are at a healthy weight. It often causes no obvious symptoms and can go unnoticed for years. Mario and Max explain how metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) develops, why sugary drinks and smoothies are worth a closer look, and what changes in diet and activity can do for liver fat.

VO2max: The Most Important Number for a Longer Life?

In a cohort of over 120,000 people, the least fit individuals had roughly five times the mortality risk of the fittest. Mario and Max explain why physical fitness can outweigh excess body weight, how reliable modern wearable estimates are, and why, beyond a certain fitness level, hard intervals become key to increasing your heart’s stroke volume.
