Reversing fatty liver

You get an ultrasound for something else and the phrase appears: "your liver is a bit fatty, but don't worry about it."

That "don't worry about it" is the problem.

Many people accumulate fat in their liver without knowing it. And those who do know often assume it's a permanent label.

It is not. The liver responds when you change what you do, and there is biopsy data that shows it.

In a study published in Gastroenterology, 293 people with fatty liver and inflammation followed a year of habit changes to lose weight, with a biopsy before and after.

Those who lost at least 10% of their weight saw liver inflammation disappear in nine out of ten cases. Almost half also reduced fibrosis.

Two nuances. There was no control group, so the study shows an association, not definitive proof. And only three out of ten managed to lose 5% or more.

In other words, improvement is possible, but losing weight in a sustained way is the hard part. That is where the real work lies.

The lever that was measured was weight. Reducing liquid sugars, alcohol, and ultra-processed foods is a reasonable way to start, although the study did not analyze each piece separately.

And you have a cheap way to monitor it: transaminases and triglycerides from a standard blood test. They don't replace a biopsy, but they tend to move when you move.

Fatty liver is not a sentence. It is a sign that there is room for improvement.

Your 1% improvement for today.

Eliminate one single source of liquid sugar or alcohol from your day today. Repeat it tomorrow and check your transaminases in three months.

This is what I cover in the Longevity Workshop and Private Longevity WhatsApp Group: In the workshop, I teach you how to read your transaminases, and in the WhatsApp group, we solve the hard part together: sustaining that weight loss.
