I've watched too many fatty liver patients end up on a transplant list to keep my mouth shut about this. If you've been told "just lose weight" for fatty liver, I need to tell you something your primary care isn't telling you. My name is Jennifer Stevens. I've treated over 200 fatty liver patients in 15 years as a clinical nutrition and integrative medicine specialist. And when a patient walks int

I'm a fatty liver specialist. After 15 years and 200+ patients, here's how I rate every fix my patients have tried before they walk into my office. Milk thistle: 4 out of 10. Protects liver cells from the outside. The damage is happening inside. Weight loss: 5 out of 10. Less fat means less oxidative stress. But even when my patients drop 15 pounds, ALT doesn't move. Mediterranean diet: 6 out of 1

If your doctor told you that you have fatty liver and all he said was "lose weight," I'm writing this for you specifically. Because I was you three years ago and nobody told me what was actually happening inside my body. My name is Diane. I'm 56. Found out I had fatty liver at a routine physical when I was 53. My ALT was 64. My doctor said "you have some fat in your liver, try to lose weight and w

I had fatty liver and I took milk thistle every day for almost 3 years and my ALT and AST barely moved and nothing in my body actually changed and I genuinely could not figure out what I was doing wrong. The bloating was still there. The energy was still gone by mid afternoon. The brain fog was so strong I could not think clearly. The belly that had shown up around my midsection a few years earlie

I've had fatty liver for three years. I took milk thistle every morning, hoping it would help... What I'm about to tell you is going to make you question every recommendation your doctor has given you for your fatty liver. And the one he hasn't. Here's what's happening right now. One. Milk thistle works on the OUTSIDE of your liver cells, where there's no damage. The damage is on the INSIDE, where

I've had fatty liver for three years. The only advice my doctor ever gave me was "just lose weight, eat the Mediterranean diet, cut back on the wine." What I'm about to tell you is going to make you furious. Here's what's happening right now. One. They put me on a "lose weight, recheck next year" plan. I cut sugar, kept wine to one glass on weekends, took milk thistle every morning, walked four mo

I've been treating fatty liver patients for 15 years. I'm a clinical nutrition and integrative medicine specialist. For most of those years, I was the doctor handing out the milk thistle recommendation. Then I ran the outcome data on 200 of my own patients. The supplements I'd been recommending moved their ALT an average of 2 to 3 points over 18 months. Not statistically meaningful compared to pat
