Fatty Liver Disease Explained - Types, Stages, and How To Reverse It

You went for a routine ultrasound or blood test and somewhere in the report it said fatty liver. Your doctor mentioned it briefly and moved on. And now you are wondering what it actually means, how serious it is, and whether you should be worried. I am a registered nurse and my advocacy is to make sure that health education doesn't stop at the clinic door. In this video I break down everything you need to know about fatty liver disease — what it actually is, the different types including alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the four stages from simple steatosis to cirrhosis, when it becomes dangerous, and exactly what you can do to reverse it before it is too late. We cover what fatty liver disease actually is and how it develops, the difference between alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the difference between simple NAFLD and NASH, the four stages of progression from fully reversible to irreversible cirrhosis, why fatty liver has almost no early symptoms, and the most evidence based interventions for reversing fatty liver including weight loss, dietary changes, exercise, and emerging medications. If you or someone you love has been told they have a fatty liver this video will give you the complete picture your doctor did not have time to explain. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly health education from a registered nurse. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
