Ken BerryHOST
Yeah, 100%.
Ken BerryHOST
Your wife probably has fatty liver while T. Wilson or NAFLD.
Ken BerryHOST
And I've got five or six videos on this channel about how to reverse that.
Ken BerryHOST
And keto is absolutely going to help reverse her fatty liver within just a few months.
Jin W. SungHOST
More fat production, more fat gets embedded into the liver and then you have more insulin resistance at the level of the liver.
Jin W. SungHOST
Now before I go further, oftentimes we're using terms like non-alcoholic fatty liver, right? However, the literature is starting to change and using terms like MASLD.
Jin W. SungHOST
We're not calling it non-alcoholic fatty liver anymore.
Jin W. SungHOST
What we're calling it is metabolic dysfunction associated with statotic liver disease.
Jonathan MartinGUEST
And when we talk about fatty liver disease, we usually exclude people from that if they've got excess alcohol intake, because it gives a similar picture.
Jonathan MartinGUEST
If it's associated with abnormal liver function tests and inflammation within the liver, then you have sort of the next stage of fatty liver, which is called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or NASH.
Jonathan MartinGUEST
So you can be picked up as having a fatty liver without having NASH, but if you progress to developing NASH, then your liver is in trouble.
Jonathan MartinGUEST
Because NASH leads to progressive liver damage, fibrosis, cirrhosis and
Jonathan MartinGUEST
liver failure.
Jonathan MartinGUEST
We don't really know how many people in Australia have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, but there have been some estimates and maybe it's 22%, which is about 5 million people in Australia.
Jonathan MartinGUEST
We have about 1,700 deaths a year from NASH and cirrhosis and liver cancer, which is also a potential consequence.
Jonathan MartinGUEST
So how do you know if you have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? Well, you may not, but we look for those risk factors.
Lisa Van WagnerHOST
My first question for you is, honestly, why on earth are two hepatologists talking about heart disease today?
Kathleen CoreyGUEST
Yeah, it's really a funny thing, but it's so important in our patients with MASLD.
Kathleen CoreyGUEST
We think about MASLD and we get really involved appropriately in fibrosis staging, in determining what outcomes are coming along with in terms of cirrhosis or decompensated disease.
Kathleen CoreyGUEST
And as transplant hepatologists, we think a lot about that.
Kathleen CoreyGUEST
But there's a really important piece for our patients, which is their cardiovascular disease.
Kathleen CoreyGUEST
And we know that MASLD is an independent, I would argue, risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Kathleen CoreyGUEST
It's certainly associated.
Kathleen CoreyGUEST
And it's the leading cause of death among patients with Maslod.
Nicolai WormGUEST
To define what we're talking about, If the wet liver tissue, if the wet liver fat content is more than 5.5%, if alcohol is not the cause, for females, less than 20 grams per day, for males, less than 30 grams per day, and if other causes can be excluded, we talk about the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Nicolai WormGUEST
I did a...
Nicolai WormGUEST
PubMed, PubMed search just a few days ago, and what you can see here is the first hit when you put in NAFLD, the first hit was in 1976, so it's a really very young disease.
Nicolai WormGUEST
In the year 2000, there's six hits.
Nicolai WormGUEST
There are only six publications in the year 2000.
Nicolai WormGUEST
Another quote from from a recent publication, a very good review on a topic.
Nicolai WormGUEST
And what's realized now is that if you have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, it's an independent risk factor, independent of all other known risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Nicolai WormGUEST
It has been suggested that you can use NAFLD actually in a much more precise way than the criteria for the metabolic syndrome in order to realize if you have a
Michelle GordonGUEST
And that's GLP-1 only.
Michelle GordonGUEST
And that's actually FDA-approved also for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or MASLD.
Michelle GordonGUEST
So that's really exciting because it helps to decrease the fat in the liver.
Michelle GordonGUEST
And then we have terzepatide, which is GLP-1 plus insulinotropic polypeptide, and it's the drug I use the most.
Ken BerryHOST
So let's talk about this.
Ken BerryHOST
So you've been diagnosed with NAFLD or NASH or fatty liver.
Ken BerryHOST
Now what? Here we go.
Ken BerryHOST
So there is no FDA approved pill or injection for fatty liver, although Big Pharma has spent billions of dollars trying to come up with one.

Ken BerryHOST
And otherwise, you've gotta stop the snacking in between meals because that's gonna keep your insulin level elevated which remember we talked about earlier is going to cause any amount of fructose you've got in there or any amount of sugar to break down into fructose and then you're gonna store that as fat in your liver so there you go now I've got two other videos about fatty liver disease and I'm gonna post them here and here you can click on those and watch them right now and then also down in the comment section or down in the description I'm gonna post the diet that once you've gotten these six things out of your diet you can follow even more.
Ken BerryHOST
A real whole food ketogenic diet is the only diet I've ever seen reverse fatty liver disease And I'm going to post a link to my playlist which has over 50 videos about the ketogenic way of eating that you can watch at your liberty and learn all about this.
Ken BerryHOST
Now, if you know anyone with fatty liver disease, NAFLD, NASH, cirrhosis, or even liver failure, please share this video with them.
Ken BerryHOST
Sharing videos like this is how we're going to reach the world.
Alyssa SimpsonHOST
And those bacteria can ferment the food you eat, which causes symptoms like gas production, bloating, and other digestive symptoms.
Alyssa SimpsonHOST
The fatty liver diagnosis in this study was MASLD, so the metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease.
Alyssa SimpsonHOST
So you may have known this by its previous name, which was NAFLD or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Alyssa SimpsonHOST
So they're now calling it MASLD.
Alyssa SimpsonHOST
And So that's when fat builds up in the liver alongside issues like insulin resistance, elevated blood sugar, and other metabolic risk factors.
Alyssa SimpsonHOST
And the researchers used lactulose breath testing to measure hydrogen and methane gases produced by gut microbes, looking for patterns consistent with SIBO.
Richard K. SterlingGUEST
And there are certainly many people who have are diabetic and obese and drink.
Richard K. SterlingGUEST
I mean, and so they have a condition that we call MET-ALD that sort of combines the MasLD or the metabolic dysfunction associated liver disease with alcohol associated liver disease.
Richard K. SterlingGUEST
And so that's kind of a combo.
Richard K. SterlingGUEST
And if they used illicit drugs in the past, they could have hep C at the same time.
Ken BerryHOST
Now, these seven causes are the most common causes, and I'm also gonna give you a bonus cause at the very end of this video that you can reverse very easily at home.
Ken BerryHOST
So the number one most common cause of an elevated ALT, at least in the United States, is NAFLD or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Some doctors are starting to call this metabolic associated fatty liver disease because it comes directly from metabolic abnormalities caused by a high carbohydrate diet.
Ken BerryHOST
And I think that's appropriate.
Ken BerryHOST
Also, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, NASH.
