Ernährungs-Docs: Tipps bei Fettleber, Verstopfung, Rosazea & Akne

On Monday, 9 February 2026 the television programme “Die Ernährungs‑Docs” broadcast episode 88, which examined four everyday health issues: fatty liver, constipation, rosacea and acne.

What the episode covered

The show presented practical dietary advice for each condition. For fatty liver, a Mediterranean‑style diet was recommended, emphasizing reduced carbohydrates and unhealthy fats while increasing “good” oils. A case study featured a hunter who was advised to eat more vegetarian, protein‑rich foods and include oat‑days to lighten the liver’s workload.

For constipation, the experts highlighted the importance of dietary fibre from vegetables, whole grains and fruit, together with ample fluid intake. The segment on rosacea linked skin flare‑ups to inflammatory processes and suggested cutting back on sugar and meat. Finally, the acne discussion advised limiting sugar, white‑flour products, meat and, optionally, dairy.

Why the topics matter

These conditions affect large portions of the population and are often managed with medication alone. The programme underscores how targeted nutrition can address underlying causes—such as excess liver fat, low fibre intake or systemic inflammation—potentially reducing reliance on drugs.

By framing food as medicine, the episode reinforces a growing public‑health narrative that lifestyle changes can improve skin health, digestive comfort and metabolic function.

How viewers can engage

After the broadcast, Dr Jörn Klasen, the show’s nutrition specialist, hosted a live, moderated chat. The chat link became active at 18:00 and the discussion started at 21:45, lasting roughly 30–45 minutes. Viewers entered a short question in the comment field, provided a chat name on first use, and submitted the query for the moderator to forward to Dr Klasen.

Because the chat is moderated, not every question could be answered, but participants received personalized guidance on diet changes for the featured conditions.

Did You Know? The live chat opens at 18:00, but the discussion with Dr Klasen begins at 21:45, giving viewers time to formulate questions after the episode ends.

Expert Insight: Samantha Carter notes that the episode’s emphasis on reducing simple carbohydrates and animal‑derived fats aligns with current research linking these nutrients to liver fat accumulation and systemic inflammation. Adjusting the diet as suggested could therefore have a measurable impact on disease progression.

Key dietary take‑aways

Fatty liver: Adopt a Mediterranean diet, cut refined carbs and unhealthy fats, and increase intake of olive oil and other “good” oils.
Constipation: Boost fibre from vegetables, whole grains and fruit; stay well‑hydrated.
Rosacea: Limit sugar and meat to reduce inflammatory triggers.
Acne: Reduce sugar, white flour, meat and consider eliminating dairy.
