In this blog post, we learn that fatty liver is not solely caused by alcohol consumption but can also be a result of metabolic changes in the liver and throughout the body. Referred to as NAFLD, this condition involves an accumulation of fatty triglyceride globules in the liver cells. If left untreated, it can progress to inflammatory liver disease and permanent liver damage. However, the good news is that fatty liver can be reversed through dietary changes. Clinical case studies have shown that following a therapeutic carbohydrate restricted plan, reducing carb intake to less than 10% of daily calories, and eating only two meals per day (with no snacks) can lead to observed remission of fatty liver within 3-7 days. So if you've been diagnosed with fatty liver or related conditions such as prediabetes or obesity, there is hope for reversal.

Functional Nutritionist Andrea Nicholson discusses the importance of critically evaluating health claims that are often seen in various forms of media. She explains that health claims are statements suggesting that a specific product, food, system, plan, or lifestyle intervention can either improve or harm one's health. Andrea emphasizes the need to dig deeper into the research behind such claims and advises seeking the original source of the information to determine its reliability. She highlights the difference between correlational information derived from diet questionnaires and surveys, which cannot prove causation, and well-conducted randomized clinical controlled trials, which provide the best evidence for causation. Andrea also urges readers to consider the source of funding behind studies, as this can potentially create bias. She encourages a critical evaluation of all available data and emphasizes the importance of not taking health claims at face value.
