Dr Alex Hodge is a gastroenterologist and expert in chronic liver disease. He has a special interest in obesity and the many ways to combat it. 'I look at what fat can do inside the liver and what fat means for the patient outside the liver," he says. "Inside it can eventually cause fibrosis and cirrhosis, outside its a risk factor for developing diabetes."Dr Hodge also talks about the health benefits of drinking more than four cups of coffee a day, and the bad news about alcohol."All the studies of coffee have been positive studies... and show that there’s an association between coffee consumption and improvement in various liver parameters...if you give people four or more cups of coffee a day, they have less liver cancer, less liver fibrosis."It’s caffeinated coffee we are talking about so it could be instant coffee, expresso-based coffee or filtered."Dr Hodge also gives some broader health tips to keep your liver in top shape.

Dr Alex Hodge talks fatty liver, NASH & tips for best liver health

I grew up on a small blueberry farm in the middle of nowhere Georgia. I got immense satisfaction roaming the woods, gathering materials for little sculptures, and creating stories for myself, but the desire to connect with people, to explore, to learn was pervasive. After graduating at the top of my class, I caught the first ride to Athens, Georgia where I fought doubt and questions relentlessly to get my BFA at the University of Georgia. Clay became my conduit for processing my experience in this world, as a woman, in the South, and it gave me a way to speak, and often, to scream.http://alex-hodge.com
