Being told you have fatty liver disease can be confusing, particularly when you feel well and are not sure what it means for your future health. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is closely connected with metabolic health and often occurs alongside insulin resistance, excess weight, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. The good news is that lifestyle changes can play an important role in improving metabolic and liver health. Our personalized lifestyle medicine program helps you understand the factors affecting your liver and turn recommendations about nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, and weight into sustainable changes. Together, we’ll create a plan to support healthier liver and metabolic function.
Weight loss is the most evidence-based therapy, graded ≥5% to reduce steatosis, 7–10% to improve steatohepatitis, and ≥10% to improve fibrosis, achieved via a Mediterranean dietary pattern plus physical activity.
