You’re doing everything right — eating clean, exercising, watching calories — and yet the scale won’t move. Why? In this video, Dr. Mohammed Paika explains the hidden biological reasons alcohol makes fat loss harder than you think. It’s not just about calories. Alcohol changes how your liver burns fat, how your hormones regulate hunger, how your brain controls cravings, how your body stores visceral fat, and even how you sleep and recover from exercise. Drawing on 20 years of hospital experience, Dr. Paika shows how alcohol quietly drives insulin resistance, belly fat, fatty liver, and metabolic dysfunction — often before labs even become abnormal. This isn’t about shame or quitting forever. It’s about understanding how alcohol interacts with your biology so you can make better choices and finally see results.

Fatty liver disease now affects nearly 1 in 3 adults — and most people have no idea they have it. In this short video, Dr. Mohammed Paika explains why fatty liver is not actually a liver problem, but a metabolic and obesity-driven condition rooted in insulin resistance, visceral fat, and modern lifestyle factors.

You’ll learn what fatty liver really is, why obesity and belly fat drive fat buildup in the liver, how this increases your risk for diabetes, heart disease, and liver damage, and most importantly how fatty liver can be reversed with the right metabolic approach.

This video is for anyone who has been told they have fatty liver, elevated liver enzymes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, belly fat, or metabolic syndrome — or for anyone who wants to prevent these conditions before they start.
