Metabolic HealthWhy Liver Fat Matters More Than Body Weight for Metabolic Health
In this episode of The Proof, Simon Hill speaks with triple board-certified physician Dr. Mauricio Gonzalez about why liver fat — not body weight — is emerging as the more meaningful target for metabolic health. Dr. Gonzalez explains how type 2 diabetes develops silently over years, why GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound are misunderstood as shortcuts, and how advanced clinics are now removing medications rather than adding them. The conversation covers the minimum effective dose of exercise and resistance training, which supplements are worth taking especially on GLP-1s, and how nutrition advice has evolved over a decade. Grounded in clinical practice, this episode challenges conventional metrics and offers practical guidance for both patients and practitioners seeking to optimize metabolic health beyond the scale.
