Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease NAFLD
NON ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE (NAFLD)
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a progressive disorder with increasing prevalence. There are currently limited treatments for the disease, and lifestyle improvements play a large role in disease management. Patients and providers lack understanding of the causes, implications, and prognosis of fatty liver. In this webinar we will discuss the causes of fatty liver and how to begin reversing this disease in your patients. We will review treatment methods, specifically focusing on MNT for reversing fatty liver disease.

This webinar will provide you with new real world insight to better understand the trends and patterns associated with the typical journey of patients living with NAFLD.
Upon successful completion of this one-hour course, the participant should be able to:
  • Gain insights into the causes and treatments for NAFLD.


  • Understand what populations may be at greater risk for developing NAFLD.


  • Be able to effectively discuss Medical Nutrition Therapy for NAFLD with your patients and other providers or care team.


  • Understand more about which foods may help the liver, and which foods may be contributing to liver damage.
