Ever wonder why clinical trials use healthy volunteers? It’s a great question—and the answer plays a big role in developing safe and effective medications. Here’s the scoop.

- Safety comes first. Testing new meds on healthy folks helps researchers figure out how the drug works without any extra health conditions in the mix. It’s a simple cleanest way to spot side effects and nail down the right dose.

- Healthy volunteers are typically adults between 18–75 with no major health issues.

Participating in early-phase trials helps pave the way for tomorrow’s treatments—and your contribution could make a lasting impact in medical research. Helping test a new treatment might not come with a cape—but it’s still superhero work.

If you’re living with extra weight, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, your liver could be at risk for fatty liver disease—now known as MASLD and MASH.

- MASLD (Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease) happens when fat builds up in your liver along with at least one metabolic condition.

- MASH (Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis) is the more serious form, where that fat buildup leads to inflammation and liver damage.

It’s estimated that up to 1 in 3 U.S. adults have MASLD—and among those, 1 in 20 progress to MASH. The scary part? Most people don’t have symptoms until the disease is advanced. But the good news is: your liver can heal with the right lifestyle changes.

Arizona Liver Health offers free FibroScan liver screenings to help detect changes early and take proactive steps toward better health.

You may qualify for a free scan if you have any of the following risk factors:
- Obesity or excess weight
- Pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels
- Elevated liver enzymes (ALT or AST)

Don’t wait for symptoms—early detection can save lives. Schedule your free scan today at azliver.com

Can you really reverse fatty liver without medication? Yes—you can! And it starts with what you eat and how much you move.

Fatty liver disease often develops from too much fat building up in the liver over time. But here's the good news: your liver is a fighter, and with the right lifestyle changes, it can heal itself.

Exercise is key.

You don’t have to run marathons. Just 30 minutes of walking, dancing, biking, or any movement you enjoy can make a big impact.

Fueling your Body means fueling your liver too!

Focus on whole, fresh foods: fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Cut back on sugar, processed snacks, and fried foods. Your liver will thank you! These small changes can lower liver fat, reduce inflammation, and even prevent long-term damage. And if you’re not sure where your liver stands—we’ve got you covered.

A healthier liver starts with one step. Take it today.

In honor of World Liver Day 2025 on April 19, Arizona Liver Health, VEN Centers, and Arizona Clinical Trials are proud to join the global movement to raise awareness about liver health. This year’s theme, “Food is Medicine,” emphasizes the critical role of nutrition in maintaining liver function and preventing liver diseases.

A balanced diet rich in whole foods—fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins—can significantly reduce the risk of liver conditions such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, we acknowledge that access to nutritious food is not always equitable. It’s essential to advocate for policies and community initiatives that make healthy eating more accessible to all.

Join us in spreading the message that every meal is an opportunity to support your liver health. Together, we can make informed choices and advocate for a healthier future.

Your liver is the engine that keeps your body running smoothly! Often overlooked, your liver performs more than 500 vital functions every single day. From keeping harmful toxins out of your bloodstream to giving you energy and helping your body digest food, your liver is always working hard behind the scenes.

Here are some of the amazing things your liver does for you:

- Removes toxins – Filters out harmful substances from your body, keeping you safe and healthy.
- Fights infections – Acts as a key part of your immune system, defending your body against harmful invaders.
- Regulates blood sugar and cholesterol – Ensures your energy levels stay balanced and your heart stays healthy.
- Helps blood clot – Makes sure you heal properly when you get a cut or scrape.
- Produces bile – Helps your body break down food and absorb nutrients.

But here’s the thing: liver damage often has no symptoms until it’s serious. That’s why taking care of your liver and checking its health regularly is so important.

Arizona Liver Health is here to help. With a FREE FibroScan, you can assess your liver health quickly and painlessly. Think of it as a check-up for one of your body’s most important organs!

Understanding the Keto Diet

The ketogenic (keto) diet is a dietary approach characterized by high fat intake, moderate protein consumption, and low carbohydrate intake. Its goal is to induce ketosis, a metabolic state where the body primarily burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. This shift in metabolism is believed to promote weight loss and various health benefits.

Incorporating Keto Meals

Explore the example above for meal ideas suitable for your keto diet. Remember to adjust portions and ingredients according to your specific calorie and macronutrient requirements. Staying well-hydrated and being attentive to your body's hunger and fullness signals are also crucial aspects of following a keto regimen.
