INSIGHT

Insulin Resistance Is The Root Cause

Insulin resistance and blood sugar imbalance are the primary drivers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Healing the liver requires stabilizing blood sugar and addressing metabolic health first.

INSIGHT

Fatty Liver Reduces Core Liver Functions

Fatty liver causes liver cells to become dysfunctional and promotes visceral fat around the liver.
Dysfunction reduces detoxification and protein production, worsening systemic health.

ADVICE

Prioritize High-Protein Meals

Eat high-protein foods to stabilize blood sugar and support liver repair.
Include wild-caught sockeye salmon for omega-3s and astaxanthin to reduce inflammation.
