I was diagnosed with NAFLD back in 2018 after many nights of suffering from Night Sweats & Leg Cramping. I was 321lbs then - my highest weight ever. I was 57 years old then. I was also diagnosed at almost the same time with Hemochromatosis. I had a liver biopsy performed and I had high levels of iron in my liver. I had liver fibrosis occurring. I was also eating a high-carb diet. I immediately went on the Keto Diet. Since then I’ve lost 150lbs. I am now 170lbs. I also required weekly phlebotomies because my Ferritin was 4580. Four years later my Ferritin is now in the 50’s. But, it gets better - I just needed an aortic valve replaced - not related to NAFLD - due to a congenitally defective valve. If I had not lost 150lbs and reversed my severe fatty liver, I don’t believe I would be able to withstand my Open Heart Surgery. I would like to add that I was and am a non-drinker and non-smoker. So, carbs cause a fatty liver. Put the pasta, pizza, bread, and sugary products down - get rid of them.

This gastric doctor is the first who has ever mentioned having a scan done. He was very informative about NAFLD.

This GI physican is so knowledgeable and soft spoken. I appreciate the information gained in this YT video. I am 80 years old and want to remain healthy so I can make use of this sight.

Thank you. I just learned I have FLD wanted to learn what to do
and now I know you are great . Wish my doctor told me what you and your visiting doctor did.

[debrawade]

Thank you this has put my mind at ease. I’m waiting to see a gastroenterologist due to my levels being high. There is so much disinformation that I was starting to get a little anxious. Dr Arya put my mind to rest just knowing with diet this can turn around. Thank you again.

As someone who has NAFLD(picked up on a CT for an unrelated issue)I found this very interesting and reassuring. Dr Arya was very good, please keep up the great content 👍🏻

You Gents continue to amaze and impress me. Doctor Arya is part of the Gang we love (you 2 Gents) … you are so knowledgeable on all topics. This is something that can’t be said enough …. :”THANK YOU SO MUCH” for doing what you do. Love the “chill” attitude. It’s catching!

[ewawieczorek]

Thank you sooo much for sharing this information with us! I truly love those videos . I’ m working a 21 years night shifts and it’s hard to keep a proper, healthy diet especially that you are getting older and your metabolism is slower than before. Thanks again for sharing and yes don’t panic to move slower but in a right direction for healthier life.
