Ep. 99 | Beating Fatty Liver Disease & Diabetes With Less Inflammation on a Plant-Based Diet – Interview With Lyana [Part 1]

podcast episodes Apr 08, 2025
guest interview, beating fatty liver disease, diabetes, glucose control, plant-based eating

My Interview guest Lyana S. never wanted to go on prescription meds. Yet, health issues started piling up, one after another, from her late thirties onwards. First it was high blood pressure, then high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. Then finally diabetes and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Add to this a strong family history of medical issues, with her mother suffering from diabetes, kidney failure and a stroke, and it’s clear the odds aren’t stacked in her favor. 

Lyana knew things needed to change, but how? That’s when she began a whole food, no-oil, plant-based diet, and her health changed dramatically within just a few months. In this interview Part 1, we’ll learn about Lyana’s background and lifestyle before making the switch to plant-based eating, and how this new way of eating improved her health within just a few months. Listen in to Part 1 of my interview with Lyana and be inspired by her fascinating story!
