My doctor looked at my labs and said "it's pretty common at your age, cut back on the beer and we'll check again in six months." So I cut back. Hard. Walked most evenings, cleaned up the diet, barely drank at all for two months. My belly moved maybe an inch. My bloodwork barely moved at all. Nobody was going to hand me the real answer, so I went and found it myself at 2am. Turns out a liver that's short on glutathione, its own antioxidant, starts storing fat instead of processing it, and that's the belly that won't respond to diet or discipline. Cutting back slows the damage, it doesn't refill what years of drinking already drained. What rebuilds it is NAC, not the milk thistle I'd wasted six weeks on. I switched to the liposomal NAC from Orvia Labs because it's actually built to absorb. Three weeks in my belt was looser and my wife noticed before I said anything. At my next panel my ALT had gone from 84 to 38, my AST from 71 to 36. My doctor looked at the numbers and asked what I'd changed. This time I had an answer. 👉 Check it out here: https://orvialabs.co/products/nac-liposomal
