Understanding Your Liver Values: How Lifestyle Impacts Metabolic Markers

The liver is your primary metabolic organ. It processes nutrients and filters substances from the blood. When we discuss liver health in a preventive context, we often look at specific enzymes, such as GGT (Gamma-GT), ALAT (GPT), and ASAT (GOT).

What Do These Values Tell Us?

These enzymes are normally found inside liver cells. When the liver is stressed, for example, from alcohol consumption or a diet high in processed fats, these enzymes can be released into the bloodstream, causing levels to rise.
— GGT is often the most sensitive marker regarding alcohol consumption.
— ALAT and ASAT are markers of general liver cell integrity.

Monitoring, Not “Detoxing”

The liver naturally regenerates and filters blood; it does not need a “detox tea” to function. However, periods of abstinence or dietary changes can contribute to maintaining these enzyme levels within the normal range.

Testing your liver values provides objective feedback. It moves the conversation from “I think I overindulged in December” to “Here is my current status, and here is my goal.”
