<p>Episode 16:</p><p><br></p><p>Exercise is good for PSC. </p><p><br></p><p>Here are 4 specific reasons why.</p><p><br></p><p>1. Reduces inflammation 🔥 PSC drives chronic systemic inflammation. Appropriately dosed exercise is one of the most evidence-based ways to reduce it. Not too little. Not too much. The sweet spot matters.</p><p><br></p><p>2. Preserves muscle mass 💪 PSC creates conditions for muscle loss — sarcopenia. Lower muscle mass = worse outcomes with liver disease. Resistance training is the most effective intervention. This is a health decision. Not just a fitness one.</p><p><br></p><p>3. Mental health + quality of life 🧠 Improved mood. Reduced anxiety. Better sleep. More agency. That last one matters with PSC — because a lot already feels out of your control.</p><p><br></p><p>4. Liver function support 🫀 Exercise improves blood flow to the liver. Reduces fatty liver accumulation.Supports metabolic health broadly. All of which helps a liver that's already under stress.</p><p><br></p><p>Exercise is good for PSC. </p><p><br></p><p>The key is applying it intelligently.</p><p><br></p><p>Download The PSCFIT Traffic Light System to understand how to approach your day, each and every day!</p><p>Access it here!</p><p><br></p><p>https://pscfit.kit.com/profile/links</p><p><br></p><p>MOVEMENT | MINDSET | MANAGEMENT </p><p><br></p>

All the time. And I don't know why."</strong></p><p>Short answer — PSC causes fatigue. Yes.</p><p>But the short answer doesn't tell you why it's so unpredictable. Why it arrives without warning. Why it doesn't respond the way normal tiredness does.</p><p>This episode does.</p><p><strong>What's covered:</strong></p><ul><li><p>✅ How PSC affects liver function and energy production</p></li><li><p>✅ The bile flow factor — and why vitamin D matters</p></li><li><p>✅ What systemic inflammation actually costs you</p></li><li><p>✅ Why sleep disruption compounds everything</p></li><li><p>✅ What this means for training decisions</p></li></ul><p>Forward this to someone in your life who doesn't quite understand why PSC fatigue is different from just being tired.</p><p>It might be the clearest explanation they get.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
