Dr Federica Amati PhD’s ‘De-Code

Your Liver Clinic’ with de-liver-ance puts your liver health to the test… night's takeaway, I’m suddenly feeling slightly less confident. The FibroScan device uses soundwaves to measure the sti ness of the liver. There’s some light thumping on my side and after a few minutes the nurse tells me that my liver actually looks very healthy.

Most people associate cirrhosis of the liver with drinking. So as someone who only has an occasional G&T, I don’t feel very nervous when I’m invited to Dr Federica Amati PhD’s ‘De-Code Your Liver Clinic’.

Dr Amati, who has a PhD in clinical medicine, a Masters in Public Health, and is an AfN registered nutritionist, works with patients with a variety of health concerns – from high blood pressure and cholesterol, to infertility and menopause. loveyourliver.com

The whole experience has been an enlightening one and it will definitely make me more conscious about taking care of my liver health.
