Healing Your Liver: Alcohol Detox and Recovery Insights

Alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs of abuse and it causes serious harm to the body. The best time to quit drinking is now.
Ever wondered if your liver can bounce back after years of heavy drinking? Dr. Mark Leeds dives into the gritty details of alcohol-related liver damage and the road to recovery. Your liver, that hardworking organ, filters out toxins but can only take so much abuse before it starts to show signs of trouble. Dr. Leeds explains the early warning signs like abdominal pain, fatigue, and jaundice, which are often the first red flags of liver issues.
Heavy drinkers are particularly at risk, and it's crucial to catch these signs early with regular liver function tests. Elevated levels of enzymes like ALT and AST can be a telltale sign that your liver is in distress. But it's not all doom and gloom. Dr. Leeds discusses various recovery options for those grappling with alcohol addiction. From at-home detox programs to professional medical treatments, there are ways to help your liver heal.
He emphasizes that quitting alcohol is the best way to prevent further damage, but also acknowledges the struggle many face in making that leap. Support from family and friends can make a world of difference. This episode isn't just about the science; it's about real-life solutions and hope for recovery. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Dr. Leeds offers practical advice and a compassionate approach to navigating this challenging journey.
