The Missing Piece in Workplace Fitness: Liver Health

As businesses across the UK mark National Employee Health and Fitness Day on 21 May, we’re joining the call to prioritise physical wellbeing—but with a focus that’s often overlooked: liver health.

Most people think of the liver as something related only to alcohol or detoxing, but the reality is far broader. Your liver is essential for metabolism, nutrient processing, hormone balance and energy storage. When it’s not functioning optimally, your body feels it. Often through fatigue, weight gain, brain fog or sluggish recovery from exercise.

Liver Health Screening

At LiverScan, we believe liver health deserves a central role in workplace fitness and wellbeing initiatives. We provide on-site FibroScan® liver checks that take just 15 minutes per person. Offering instant insight into liver fat and stiffness—key indicators of fatty liver disease or early fibrosis.

These conditions are increasingly common among working-age adults and are often linked to diet, sedentary lifestyles, and stress. The good news? They’re reversible when caught early.

Our screening days are a simple way to empower staff with knowledge and provide them with practical, non-judgemental feedback about their health. Each scan comes with clear, immediate results and guidance. This helps individuals make informed choices about food, movement, and alcohol.

Claire Hardie, COO of LiverScan, said:

“Fitness begins from the inside out. On National Employee Health and Fitness Day, we’re encouraging organisations to consider liver health as part of their broader workplace wellbeing strategy. It’s a small step that can make a big difference.”

Whether you’re planning a health fair, launching a step challenge, or running wellbeing workshops, our liver health service is an ideal addition to your event.
