New on our blog! ✨

Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a growing health concern in Canada, closely tied to rising rates of various metabolic conditions. New and emerging treatments, such as GLP-1s, are beginning to change how this condition is understood and managed.

This month, we spoke with Dr. Giada Sebastiani, a Hepatologist and Professor of Medicine at McGill University Health Centre, about the latest research on GLP-1s and what it could mean for the future of liver health.

Did you know that sedentary behaviour is a major risk factor for metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)? Along with other lifestyle factors, spending long periods without movement can contribute to fat accumulation in the liver and insulin resistance, both of which play an important role in liver health.

Moving your body regularly can make a difference! Incorporating at least 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each day as an adult, and 60 minutes a day for children, can help reduce liver fat and support healthy liver function.

Being mindful of these key risk factors and incorporating small changes (like daily movement) can go a long way in protecting your liver health!

This week is National Immunization Awareness Week, a time to recognize the important role they play in protecting our overall health (including our liver!). 💉

Immunizations can help prevent life-threatening, serious diseases and help protect the people who are most vulnerable. Staying up to date on vaccinations is important to keep yourself and those around you safer and healthier.

Talk to your healthcare provider about which vaccines may be right for you.

You may be living with liver disease and not even know it. Your liver is a resilient organ that works hard repairing itself until it can’t anymore. By the time your liver starts to show signs of damage, liver disease is often already in advanced stages.

Ask your doctor to check your liver health and assess whether you are at risk of liver disease. Being proactive about your liver health is the key to early detection and better health outcomes.

Here are three questions to help you get the conversation started:
💚 Based on my family history, medical history, and lifestyle, am I at risk for liver disease?
💙 Can I have a liver function test to check my liver enzyme levels?
💚 Should I do additional screening to check my liver health, such as a FibroScan?

This week is National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week, a time to recognize the life-saving ability of organ and tissue donation and the generosity of donors. 💚

Organ and tissue donation has the ability to change lives and give hope to many Canadians waiting for their new beginning. Throughout this week, we honour the donors who have given the gift of life, recognize the healthcare professionals who make this possible, and support those still waiting on their second chance.

That’s right, not all forms of liver disease can be prevented!

Liver health is influenced by a variety of factors, and some are beyond our control. Genetics can play a role in how your liver functions and your risk for certain conditions. Other factors such as viruses, lifestyle factors, environmental exposure, and metabolic conditions also play a major role in your overall liver health.
