What Is Fatty Liver Disease — and Can Diet Reverse It?
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), now also called metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), occurs when excess fat accumulates in the liver. It's closely linked to insulin resistance, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. The good news: there is no approved medication for NAFLD — but dietary changes and weight loss are highly effective. Studies show that losing 7–10% of body weight through nutrition and lifestyle changes can significantly reduce liver fat and inflammation.
Nutrition Strategies for Fatty Liver
Reducing liver fat through diet
Limiting added sugars, refined carbohydrates, and saturated fat — the primary dietary drivers of liver fat accumulation.
Mediterranean-style eating
The Mediterranean diet has the strongest evidence for reducing liver fat and inflammation in NAFLD.
Weight management support
Sustainable weight loss of 7–10% is the most effective intervention for NAFLD. We support this through personalized nutrition planning.
Addressing insulin resistance
Insulin resistance drives fat storage in the liver. We address it through blood sugar-balancing nutrition strategies.
