How to Treat NAFLD

Lifestyle Changes:

The Most Effective Strategy

NAFLD can be improved with lifestyle changes and weight loss. Steatosis, or fat in the liver, starts to recede when someone loses as little as 3% of their total body weight. If someone loses 10% or more of their weight, we start to see fibrosis, or scar tissue, in the liver improve.

At 10% weight loss we also see improvement in:

Hypertension
Diabetes Mellitus
Hyperlipidemia
Sleep Apnea
Esophageal Reflux
Arthralgias/Arthritis
Fatigue
Risk of several malignancies

Terri Improved NAFLD and Diabetes

Terri had a special ultrasound test called a Fibroscan that determines the amount of fat (STEATOSIS or S score - range 0-3, 3 being severe) and scar tissue (FIBROSIS or F score, range 0-4, 4 being severe).

She started with a score of S2 and F4 prior to starting the NovoLiver program; six months later, she had a score of S0 and F2 meaning her liver fat had disappeared and scarring had improved significantly.

Terri has also had diabetes for several years and required metformin. After the NovoLiver Program she was OFF the Metformin completely.
