On this episode of Liver Talks, Adam and Alex welcome their very good friend Dr. Ani Kardashian from the Keck School of Medicine at USC's Division of Gastroenterology and Liver Disease (3:40). She discusses her work focusing on the effect of food insecurity in patients with chronic liver disease, as well as her interest in disparities research.  It's a fascinating conversation that has profound implications on clinical practice. 

The episode ends with a review of some simple screening tools to help identify patients at risk of food insecurity (41:24)
