Biohack Your Liver with Siggi Clavien
In this episode of the Biohacker's Podcast, Teemu Arina is joined by Siggi Clavien, the founder and CEO of Equilibrium Labs, for an eye-opening discussion on the liver’s critical role in overall health. Clavien, a biotechnology pioneer with a background in plant-based medicine from Cornell University, offers a fresh perspective on the liver, calling it the "master regulator of human health" and the "general of the body." He explains how this vital organ goes far beyond detoxification, playing a central role in immune regulation, hormone management, and nutrient distribution. Drawing on both ancient healing traditions and cutting-edge science, Clavien presents a powerful framework for understanding and optimizing liver function. Throughout the conversation, Clavien highlights the rising global concern of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), affecting a staggering 38% of Western populations. He emphasizes the liver's remarkable regenerative capabilities, revealing how the liver can recover even from substantial damage. The episode also delves into practical biohacks for supporting liver health, such as intermittent fasting, photobiomodulation, and the surprising benefits of drinking coffee. Additionally, Clavien discusses the importance of early diagnostics and how traditional blood tests often fail to catch liver issues in time. His holistic approach, which integrates emotional and spiritual wellness, ties the liver’s function to broader concepts of self-love and well-being.
