About 5 years ago as I was leaving my doctor she basically said " by the way you have fatty liver" without any further advise. Like it was an incurable hopeless disease. I found a new doctor.
Go for you! Most of todays doctors are not real doctors 🤦🏼♀️
This is a huge problem across the United States regarding doctors not taking fatty liver seriously. For 20 years I was told I had a fatty liver and not to worry about it. Recently, a very smart doctor did a fibro scan and found that I'm almost into cirrhosis.
Oh wow 😮
my doc did not mention it to me until one year after my ultra sound when I asked her What are the symptoms of fatty liver? WTH
Most docs I’ve had are only there to put out fires. They don’t do shit about preventative health. Good thing I’m medically literate.
I did.
I stopped sugar. Trans fat and bread,
I reduce eating fruits. I stopped fruit juices.
2 meals a day
I slept early
Walking 30min a day at less.
I recoved a clean liver in 6 months
you loaded or lowered fruits?
@@gustavcrossbow2805
I eat less fruits .1 a day max
Yes bread is as bad as sugar .
Great job
@@vetjansvcs thanks
I was diagnosed with severe NAFLD without cirrhosis. I went on the carnivore diet and after 13 months, a recheck ultrasound showed that I had completely reversed it. In the process, I also lost 45 lb, corrected all of my blood work to perfect levels, was removed from all of the prescription medications I had been on for years - for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, depression, insomnia, acid reflux, and indigestion. I have more energy and no longer have random joint and muscle pain. I also hadn't had a menstrual cycle in 4 years and after being on carnivore for 8 months they returned. I can't say enough good things about it!
No extreme is ever healthy in the long run. Why do people love extremes so much? I guess it helps with simplifying thinking and not looking for complex information.
Also, pretty much every diet that removes processed industrial food from your life brings that kind of results.
There is no possible way eating meat is good when you have NAFLD. No way at all.
@@212davisesq Have you heard of Salmon and Omega 3's? Hell, even Mayo Clinic, the best hospital system in the world, tells patients to adopt a Mediterranean diet to manage and treat NAFLD. A diet that does allow for the consumption of fish, poultry, and even leaner cuts of red meat as part of the diet.
@@adrianaloborec2205 Did you read what they said. They reversed SEVERE NAFLD and a whole slew of other problems/symptoms. Sounds like it was the healthy option for their body if they are in a much improved place. Maybe isn't right for all, but it sounds like it worked for her. No need to cast fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
I learned more watching this video than i did from the doctor that diagnosed my fatty liver disease
All the doctors i see nvr go into diet advice, they all are legalised drug pushers, did not warn their patient about side effects next! heartless doctors
@@cwkhonda I am so sorry to hear about your doctor. Talk about useless. I found Dr. Berg's TH-cam channel very helpful. He gives very specific advice on how to improve your blood sugar, lose weight and increase your liver health. I've lost 25 lbs and kept it off through this winter. My husband has brought his 90 day blood sugar measures down to normal levels of 5.4 from a scary crisis level Hb A1C of 13. He did that by using Dr. Berg's very specific advice on dietary changes.
A healed patient is a non paying costumer
@@2legit2Kwit You said it, if a doctor cures you instantly after one visit, then who is goona pay his condo mortgage? So all doctors will relief your pains but nvr want to cure so yu come bk again n again. $$$$$$$$$$$$$
That is how it is supposed to be, that is what videos are for.
An incidental finding on a CT scan showed that I had a fatty liver. My GI doctor placed me on 800 units vit E, I lost 25 lbs, exercise with cardio and strength, at least four times a week. A following CT just six months later showed my fatty liver was completely resolved. Oh, I also avoid any drinks with fructose, and i have never drank alcohol. The information in this video is definitely correct. I am going to stop taking the vitamin E as of now
Careful with all those cat scans. I know in your case it was necessary but ultrasounds are a less dangerous substitute.
What Vitamin E brand did you take?
If this story is really true, should file law suit for ordering ct to check fatty liver.
Why would you stop the vitamin E if it saved your life
Get mri instead. That's more precise for organs.
Thanks Dr Kim. The TH-cam Doctors are adding more value to people worldwide than those in the hospitals.
Gotta keep “clients” filling all of those rooms
Retain your critical thinking skills........'cuz the allopathic medicine doctors will find their way to TH-cam, also.
Incredible. The truth resonates when we hear it! :-) Thank you for succinct, informed and respect for our time as well as great information! Blessings.
@@cpg8000. Yep! It’s about the $$$s. Don’t know how they can sleep at night! Must not have a conscience!
Yes..
1. Stop eating sugars, increases cravings
2. VitC blocks sugar effects
3. Avoid fruit, natural sugars
4. Eat more protein, helps stop cravings
5. Eat more animal fat. Pufas & mufas
6. Low to zero carbs. Low gi#. Dairy is ok.
7. No alcohol.
8. Resistance training.
9. Workout.
10. Vit E less than 400mg
11. Omega 3, cod liver oil
12. Choline, yogurt
13. Good luck
I have fibroscane kpa is 8.5 is it reversible
“Avoid eating fruits” 😂😂😂
New agenda that the sheep are eating up
He didn't say to avoid fruit. He said to avoid fruit juices and dried fruit. And I don't think he said anything about vitamin C - it's the fiber in whole raw fruit that helps us digest the sugar.
Aa@@munirsultan4436
NOOOOOO!!!!!
I’m sick and tired of all the internet’s misinformation on fruit! Manufacturered fructose is not fruit!!!! He did NOT say stay away from FRUIT! Not once!!!
I was diagnosed with fatty liver. My dr said it was not reversible and that if I didn’t change my diet I’d need a liver transplant. Yet she did not give me any idea of what I should be eating! She’s great at giving out scripts but not much else.
Your doctor lied
That’s terrible! I reversed my fatty liver in a short time with diet alone. But I’m not sure how bad your liver was. Did you have any scar tissue?
Always go to a Indian doctor or some Asian doctor. American doctors don't know a shit about human anatomy
@@ElleeZee289how did you reverse it my I ask ?
@@OfficialGaming11_ I went on keto, but this was literally after years of researching that diet because I was fascinated with it. My doctor was hesitant about it but gave me her blessing when I said I was also working with a nutritionist. The gastroenterologist was able to refer me to a nutritionist who was open to it and she helped me identify my blind spots. For example I did not know keto makes you more prone to dehydration so electrolyte balance is key
Thank you so much for this video. I was diagnosed with fatty liver just around 10 weeks ago after a year of elevated liver enzymes led to a scan. I've waited 10 weeks for an appointment with a specialist, but in the meantime I watched this and applied everything (no supplements, just the diet and exercise bits) religiously. I had my first and now last appointment today - my blood results are back to normal in just 10 weeks and my follow up scan showed big improvements (I've also lost about 5% of body weight). The dietician and the hepatologist both confirmed I had followed good advice from here.
location of your hepatologist pls.
Congratulations! Wishing you continued good health and happiness!

Would you share examples of your meals and exercises?
Sure. For meals, I had porridge with oat mil for breakfast, lunch and dinner were mainly salads with a protein like fish or chicken, lentil stews, vegetable curries. For exercise I mainly swam because that's what I like doing. But I think the things you can eat and do is very broad, so I guess just find what works for you! Mediterrenean diet recipes were my go to. @@angelamedellin5666
An old elderly lady once said if its made of a plant eat it ! If its made in a plant .Dont eat it.
Words of wisdom to live by.
Except all the plants that are toxic to humans. Most not not edible for us.
"made of" vs "made in"
Oh crap. I say that all the time. I hope you’re not referring to me.😂
@@Westcoastrocksduhi guess you missed the point.
@@bvm3925right. Lol

Yes, I think his voice is lovely and smooth.
No, you’re the only one with ears.

After watching hundreds of videos and tons of research I have come to the conclusion that you should avoid sugars, alcohol, legal and illegal drugs, processed foods, trans fat, fried food, wheat, grains, lectins, oxalates, phytates, gluten, vegetable oils (except for extra virgin olive oil, and coconut oil), also block all negative thoughts and try as much as possible to reduce stress.
Try to never overeat, get enough sleep, do moderate exercise, intermittent fasting, breathing exercises, one or two meals a day, avoid taking prescribed drugs if possible, limit your fruit intake, reduce your sodium intake, limit your carbs, eat high quality food, eat wild-caught salmon, cage-free organic pasture-raised eggs, sardines, leafy green vegetables in moderation, root beet, sauerkraut, cauliflower, cabbage, prebiotics and probiotics, apple cider vinegar, lemon, turmeric, ginger, chia seeds, take vitamin K2 and D3, and enjoy life as much as possible.
I never did any of the above but I’m trying to start now at 60 years of age, hoping that it’s not too late.
AMEN!
Anything else? Everything in moderation!
@@davem.539 oh yes. And I wouldn’t be surprised if within the next couple of months I find out that everything that I mentioned above is completely wrong.
I think you nailed it!😂
@@Marlene-zd4xm 👍🙂
Dear Dr. Kim
You clearly do not only have a gift as a physician, but also as an educator!
Thanks for your efforts - from Zürich, Switzerland.
FINALLY some clear guidance! Did you know that liver issues can cause crazy stuff like constipation, hormone imbalances, insomnia, irritability, body-wide inflammation and more? I've had the weirdest symptoms! Even stuffy nose & dizzy spells and non of my Doctors knew what was causing them! I have been going through HELL with this stuff. And to make things worse the advice has been all over the place! So confusing and overwhelming. It's seriously been stressing me out. What you're saying totally correlates with my experiences. I can't even tell you how much of a relief it is to have a clear direction and a plan that doesn't involve impossible restrictions like a liquid all green diet. I will comment again when my ultrasound shows no more fatty liver and thank you to no end! Thank you ahead of time ❤
Wishing you the very best
I'd like to here when you get the results hopefully positive results
Me too, I have same experience and bizarre symptoms. I’m going to try his advice it seems most rational.
@@tinaadjadj4986ditto!
Thank you for sharing! Wishing you the very best.
Thank you Doctor. Nobody has ever explains this so well. I will now get rid of my fatty liver.
you got this!
Yes! I am watching this now and it’s really hopeful and inspiring I can heal.
@@LeonidKimMD What about Tofu and Soya Milk - home made - and Tempeh? Are these a problem? Everything else I have been doing but I am suspicious about my liver as I have been overweight for many years, but have meaningfully lost weight recently. I wonder if my liver is, subsequently, dealing with toxins. I don't drink alcohol at all. The last drink i had was forty years ago.
It was one of the best presentations I have ever seen concerning health. He cites his work and gives warning to his advice!
Thank you your way of speaking slow and clear is appreciated by this senior.
After bloodwork and ultrasound in September 2021, I was diagnosed with non alcohol fatty liver and extremely elevated liver enzymes. The doctor also told me that I had some type of growths on my liver.
I refused prescription medication and delayed my decision on a treatment approach while studying about the condition and potential natural remedies. I subsequently decided to go on a strict keto and intermittent fasting diet in November 2021.
I returned to my doctor for a follow up in March 2022; he reordered bloodwork and ultrasound. We were both shocked that there was no evidence of fatty liver, that the growths had gone away, and that my liver enzymes were in the normal range.
Thanks for this information. I shall do this.
Well done!
pls share more information on your diet and lifestyel
What was ur usg findings regarding Echotexture
@1drummer172 Would you please share your intermittent fasting schedule with us?
I have fatty liver. Also over weight, also pre diabetic, also PCOS, also hypothyroid. So this video is surprisingly similar to what to do for everything else. This video has helped a lot thank you.
Maybe look into PCOS inflammation type. For me I’m thinking allergies for food and the environment plus stress.
Good information to keep in mind. Thanks.
Ditto here except definitely a Type II Diabetic ….
May I ask you what symptoms do you experience from fatty liver daily?
Does your Liver happen to hurt? I have this pain there and my doc says NFLD but that's all I got and was shoved out the door.
Your pace of speaking is so great. I will use this as an example in my ESL classes here in Taiwan. Thanks for the info and the great example.
Agreed
Yes. Thank you for not talking 100 miles an hour
Hello Dr. Kim, I'm an Internist. Since this issue is so common, and because I like to educate, I spend a lot of time discussing this issue with patients. Great video, straight and to the point. I'll have my patients watch your video.
thank you! i talk about this with my patients all the time and it’s why i made this video
@@LeonidKimMD If you were already diagnosed with F4 fibrosis of the liver , do you think I could reverse over time my diagnosis? My G.I. doctor has not given me any help as far as what I should do or not do.I have researched it myself, and stopped drinking and stopped eating all those food that you talked about everything that you discussed. I did I start a keto diet in July and I did intermittent fasting I’m down to one meal a day and lost 25 pounds . I take supplements and I exercise more. I just am upset that my doctors didn’t tell me anything of what to do. They just asked me to come back every six months for an ultrasound to keep an eye on 2 small cyst that I have on the liver which are very teeny tiny to make sure that they don’t enlarger grow more I guess, I just wanna know by doing everything that I’m doing everything that you talked about overtime. Maybe the scarring will go away and reverse . Thank you in advance for all that you do.
@@LeonidKimMD Keto is no different than other diet its all down to the calories taken in!
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307Not “ calories “ but “ carbs “, Dan. Big difference.
@@carolcole570 No weight loss depends on the calorie intake it doesnt matter where it comes from! just like any machine it requires X units to operate it doenst matter if its oil, electricity, wind, water, a guy on a tread mill!
Your explanation, your timing and delivery, and your ability to get right to the point resonates with your audience because you make it so easy to remember. Thank you!

As for bread. Artisan bread is fine , just not store processed bread . Aas the rule of thumb just don’t eat Ultra Processed Foods (UPF) full stop. If a food contains any ingredients that you couldn’t by yourself in your local store then in doesnt need to be in the food.
Don't juice? I'm not so sure about that
@@joshuam4993 Don’t ever juice Fruit ! 👍
@@Alfieruben-j1l why?
I was just waiting for him to attack saturated fat. This makes that entire video bunk. Saturated fat is absolutely fine for you as I have completely reversed my fatty liver using a carnivore diet.
I sure as hell hope so, because that's what I'm eating. The carnivore diet for two months now. I listen to Dr Ken Berry's videos. Hope it works for me. I have inflamed fatty liver.
Same here. Carnivore has been a game changer for me
This is the 20th video I have seen about this condition and this is by far the best structured one in terms of how the info is delivered and how the limitations are conveyed. Thank you MD Kim.
This is an incredibly straight forward, well researched, and well presented video. I've seen 10 doctors and clearly none of them have an understanding of how this works.
All they know is how to prescribe medication so they can get their commission 😢
I trust you. You are very educated and calming. I got a fatty liver with chemo and immunotherapy. Stage 4 lung cancer going on 4 years. Although, I live in fear everyday, I still try to find ways to stay healthy. I will use your advice starting first thing in the morning. Thank you.
Really appreciate this. Subscribed.
I let my health go bad over the past 3 years or so. I have Fatty Liver disease to the sense that my usually friendly doctor was very stern with me about how bad it actually is. I don't want to live an unhealthy life.
Look up Dr Jason Fung, good information on how to reverse fatty liver and how to reverse diabetes.
Thank you so much for this video. I have NAFLD. I don’t drink alcohol or sugary drinks. My biggest issue is my weight. About 4 weeks ago, I started to follow a fasting diet (I eat everyday, but it’s only within an 8 hour period and I’ve been avoiding eating 4 hours before bed). Already over the 4 weeks, I’ve lost 3%. My sleep is better. I have more energy. I’m hoping that this continued path will aid in reversing my fatty liver.
Good for you! Hoping for your continued success. ❤
I did fasting for weight loss and developed Gallstones. Please be careful and eat at regular intervals.
Your diet is soooo important . I do organic but I’m also a snacker… especially in my younger years… it finally caught up with me and now I am NAFLD! I try so hard to stay away from sugars but my son is staying with me for a while and he wants SNACKS so I’m always tempted! I’m not doing as bad as before and pain has mostly gone away.. so I’m trying very hard to follow Dr Kim ! I’m 82 and no meds yet by the way!! 🙏
@@Priya-yl1fkcorrelation is not causation.
fasting does not work . Eat regular every three hours a well balanced diet and you will get even better results
May the Lord bless you more for your time without no charge. Your explanation is very clear and anderstanding.
I got diagnosed with NAFLD a few months ago. I tried to recall what I added to my daily food intake and noticed only one thing... 3 in 1 coffee. I used to consume 2-3 of those per day. Then, I thought of stopping it and after a month, my liver became normal again. Now, I only drink black coffee with no sugar and goodbye 3 in 1 coffees.
From my research coffee is beneficial in regards to NAFLD.
What is 3 in 1 coffee
Milk, sugar, coffee are combined in 3 in 1 coffee
Same here 3in1 coffee NAFLD
Miss the sugar and make sure you have full fat milk. That should do it.
The problem, with the studies where, Group A ate this and Group B ate this, and here is the result....They don't tell you what else they ate. If you eat high saturated fat with even moderate carbohydrates/sugar (like Muffins), YES, you will get fatty liver. I went full meat and eggs only for 3 months a started a sprinting exercise routing mixed with weights and my fatty liver disappeared completely. This was extremely high in saturated fats BUT because the fat had to be converted into energy (it had no choice with the lack of carbs), my liver fat and ALL of my visceral fat melted away. This diet also got rid of my high blood pressure in 3 weeks (Now I am on the low end), and I am no longer pre-diabetic. So somehow, all the docs say high saturated fat is bad....this is incorrect if eaten correctly with little or no carbs it is the best medicine that no doc will tell you about because that's not what they learned in medical school. It will take another 20 years before the medicinal community admits they were wrong on this. Our food pyramid is upside down. Now I do what's pretty close to a paleo diet. Mostly meat, eggs lots of fat, with some fruit, some veggies, and healthy nuts. (And my keto coffee daily) All markers still good. Carnivore will fix your problems, after that adjust carbs to your activity level. Intermittent fasting at least 3 x per week also. All this will truly heal chronic disease y'all, and get you off all these crap medicines designed to mask the real problem and keep big pharma rolling in the $$$
That's nonsense. You evidently haven't read a single of the referenced studies.
Saturated fat is worse than pure refined sugar calorie for calorie with everything else kept equal.
Your anecdote is not evidence for anything. It's like saying smoking is not unhealthy as long as you eat well and exercise regularly because there are some really old smokers.
As for your ignorance about carbs, the opposite of what you said is in fact true.
Carbs are essential for optimal health and longevity.
Study after study shows that low-carb diets significantly shorten lifespan. The biochemical reasons for this are also very simple to understand.
Fat oxidation causes more oxidative damage, and even causes irreversible DNA damage. Meats and other animal products are very high in AGEs and even carcinogenic compounds.
Longevity studies show that especially saturated animal fats are the worst offenders to longevity.
@@xnoreqwell then why did it work for him? I was thinking to go vegan to help this issue. What kinda diet do you follow? Or which one you think is best for liver issues?
@@trapstar_1386Because as he said he started sprinting exercises and weight lifting. On top of that the sort of extreme elimination diet he did almost certainly resulted in a reduction of calories.
In a net caloric deficit the body will burn excess body fat. And that's why it "worked" for him.
But again, that's like an overweight person saying smoking is healthy because after they started smoking they had less hunger, ate less, therefore lost weight and their health markers improved.
Personally, I eat a balanced diet. Saturated fat kept to a minimum for obvious reasons. I also avoid refined sugar and products with added (refined) sugar.
You didn't specify what kind of liver issues you're dealing with. There are several conditions that a better diet will not fix. For NAFLD you don't have to go vegan.
@@xnoreq I’m fit and workout everyday. And I do intermittent fasting. But I also drink Starbucks, lots of creamer with coffee and just a lot of bad carbonated liquids in my diet. Too much high fiber foods. I don’t eat all day. Then I eat late and 2 much at one time. Also drink lots of liquids before bed. So after all that my lower stomach area has a bulge like a hard circle ball. Which looks really obvious on me because Im fit and the top of my stomach is flat and just the bottom is now a hard bulge. I believe I have Ascites? But not sure just guessing. It goes away when I fast for 2 or 3 days. (No food at all) but then as soon as I eat or start drinking liquids it comes back. I’m guessing because I starve all day then eat late at night. My symptoms are… going to the bathroom literally every 20 minutes everyday. Sometimes 2 minutes after I pee. And it’s barely coming out. Just a drip. Itchy skin sometimes. Swelling in my feet sometimes. Dark urine, even though I drink alot of water. But mostly bloated stomach. And not regular bloated. But just on lower belly. Like I can’t even suck it in. It’s hard as a rock. It’s like a small ball is stuck right under my belly.
You give me hope. I was diagnosed with NAFLD years ago. I received no information and no treatment. It was difficult to find any information as I researched. I am thrilled that this subject is finally receiving attention. I appreciate your comments and look forward to learning more about how I can help myself. Thank you, thank you!❤
me too! my doctor told me to eat healthy and exercise but didnt suggest any foods to eat so this helps so much!!
I recently had some slight pain in my right side of stomach and did the blood test and Ultrasound test, I found out that I had a fatty liver. It was due to soda and wines that I started drinking for 2 yeras since pandemic while working from home. it was very shocking that I had this issue. I am trying to be on strict diet and got back to exercise again. Your video was very informative and helpful with all data you provided. Thanks a lot!! 🙌🙏
hope you feel better soon!
@@LeonidKimMD Tell your respondent it took longer than two years of soda and wine to have fatty liver....tell them 10-20 years of incorrect eating of sugar and high glycemic foods to reach their current diagnosis.
I never would have guessed that putting toxic liquid in my body every day for years might be bad for me.
Thank you for this information
Are you ok now?
That is encouraging to know that the condition can be improved! The reasonable, calm, clear delivery is so appreciated. Thank you.
Speaking of eating healthy, I have liver and kidney damage from 9 years of being a vegan. I've had to slowly introduce red and white meats back into my diet, and I'm feeling a lot better after just a few weeks.
Plant based ruined my hormones and gut health. I’m slowly healing on a carnivore diet
You have a way of making things so clear, concise, logical and make so much sense. Thank you!
That was the best overview of this condition I have heard and so sensibly articulated. If anyone is fortunate enough to be able to reverse a health condition, it is worth it. Some people don't have that option.
There have been so many people taking Ivermectin that doctors have been noticing that their patients with fatty livers have been going away. I believe there are several studies underway right now studying the effects of ivermectin on fatty liver. Just something to keep your eye on for the future
Thanks for getting to the point and not chatting on and on!! Very well presented and very informative!!
thank you!
Every piece of advice here is absolutely correct! Now, just doing it. We are an addicted society.
Agree with your other points, except your view about “saturated fat”. Now it’s disputable. Many said it’s the best fat
Very informative, calm, and clear speaker. Huge respect, and thank you!!!
This was the most informative video on curing fatty liver that I have been able to find!! I was diagnosed a month ago and I have been looking for this exact information!! You are awesome! Thank you.
Check out Dr Berry
I am diagnosed with NAFL and suffering symptoms now. Ive been fond of fruits and less of meat. Thanks for this video. It gives me hope to recover🙏
What symptoms?
WOW!! This is the best video for NAFLD! Thank you for breaking it down and explaining it all so well
i love you explaining and backing up your lecture with scientific studies... more power!
One problem in this video: Saturated fat. If you combine this with a high carb intake like the muffins used in one of the studies it is no wonder that liver fat is going to rise because insulin levels are also high. It would have been much more interesting to see how much liver fat increase these 2 fat group actually cause if insulin levels are low, because then we are not in an anabolic state to pack more fat into the liver.
Another problem are seed oils because of their unfavourable omega 6 to 3 ratio. Omega 6 causes inflammation, while omega 3 does not and is beneficial in a lot of other function for example in the brain.
It is always astounding to me how very smart people, scientists continue to ask the wrong questions and build studies in a way that the result does not really help the underlying question.
Your comment is spot on. It’s the carbs and insulin. 07/21/23
Thanks a lot for discussing in a very clear and calm manner how to reverse fatty liver. Really appreciate it.
thank you
agree100%
Thank you. A beautifully structured & clear video. I reversed my early fatty liver disease by losing 10% of my too fat body weight, as advised by my dr. He also advised reducing fats, & return for retesting in a year. Instead I just ditched most carbs, & sheepishly went back to him after 18 months, by which time happily all my markers had returned back to normal. Now after listening I understand better the impact of excessive saturated fats, so will be more cautious around that. Periodically I revisit the guidelines, & I really think this one is the best combination of clarity with both useful detail & actionable recommendations. Thank you again.
thank you
The study he cited is total non sense. Palm oil and sunflower oil aren't saturated fat. They are dangerous seed oils. You were doing right by cutting out carbs. Keto diet eliminate fat on the liver
WOW...Dr. Kim, this is my first time watching you... I was NOT expecting such a wonderful and deep voice... that is really a nice voice you have.
I was diagnosed with NAFLD, my doctor told me that a plant based diet would solve my isuues. I ate tofu, fruits, and vegetables with occasional lean chicken or fish and plain nf yogurt. I eat almost zero processed foods. Months later...very little improvement in my liver enzymes etc.
Now I have gout from consuming too much fruit.
I switchin it up today.
Very helpful indeed. Thank you. I am new here. Diagnosed with mild fatty liver due to Covid . I have long haul Covid , a lot of steroids and it affected my pancreas that I am now diabetic. I gained 20 lbs. This video is very helpful for me in reversing it.
Me too.

Same here. I was drinking a bottle of whiskey every day during the covid thing but it was actually the virus. That's a relief, I don't have to quit drinking now.
Same but not sure if it was the virus or 💉
One of the most comprehensive and well spoken videos that I have seen on this subject! Thank you!
Agree
Your voice is so soothing and reassuring, Dr Kim…
I really needed educated on this topic, Dr. Kim. I enjoy fruit and vegetables more than anything else, but only recently did I learn of the dangers of consuming too much fructose. I have termed it in my mind as "justified overeating" -- meaning that if it is fruit, it has to be good for me, so I will eat all I want! My lipid panel says otherwise. Thank you so much. Will watch this again.
Yep I ate a lot of fruit now only once in awhile I'll have a piece.
Just found your channel. Excellent concise delivery. This is exactly what I tell my patients. Thank you for the presentation.
I've been doing keto for 5 1/2 years now. No chips, bread, cookies, muffins, none of that. Cutting back doesn't go far enough. At 60, my blood pressure is 105/69, 20 points lower than when I was 30.
Insane, well done!
Here’s a video I definitely needed. Before covid a bloodtest revealed my liver biomarkers where about 6 times higher than what they should be. The doctor thought I had an alcohol problem, and I almost never drink the stuff (if I consume more than 20 glasses of wine per YEAR I would be very surprised). So that was a wake up call. Over the past few years it gotten down to about twice the normal values, but I do have trouble getting my markers down to normal values. I know what I have to do but I tend to go through a period of high sugar intake every once in a while (emotional eater and all that), and it’s happening at the moment as well so it can be tough. But we’re getting there and this video is a huge help to better understand which steps to take. I don’t know much about food and apart from the obvious stuff it often gets very confusing what you should and shouldn’t eat (everyone seems to have their own theories on that with all the different diets), so seeing a video like this with clear and concise advice is something I very much appreciate. So thank you, dr. Kim!
You should do an ultrasound. Also check out Dr. Jason Fung. Have you ever tried Keto diet?
Excellent video - very good to see a concise evidence based review and debunking the quackery out there
I love the way you delivered your topics and so calm. I really understand every word you say. Excellent!
Just found you on my feed. New subscriber here. Going back to view your other videos. I find your calm demeanor to my liking & you explain things very well. Thank you.
Thank you!
Don’t forget about intermittent fasting and long term fasting those are fantastic. They brought my liver enzyme numbers down. I have a liver transplant and my doctor. My liver doctor is behind me and he loves it.
Oh I love him. His explanations are so warm and clear
Earned my subscription. Well explained. Calm and respectful and worth listening.
Great video Doc. Found it so helpful. Also, the way you speak, especially the clarity and pacing is so good.
Not many people talk about dried fruit but this good doctor is quite right and very observant. Thank you for thinking about them.
Thank you for providing precise evidence-based information about reversing fatty liver.
Dr. Kim, you have good delivery in this video. There seem to be a lot of these types of videos out there, but you communicate well: clearly, concisely, and with authority. I have subscribed and look forward to more of your videos. Be well.
A v calm yet clear voice with terse yet comprehensive science. Glad I came across ur name n I’ll make sure to search other videos of yours 👏
Yay factual advice on weight loss with evidence based studies to back it up and without the shaming. Thank you.
This is the most helpful and sell-explained video on this subject I've seen. And I love your style - I get tired of all the overly-emphatic and scare-mongering videos. Just subscribed.
thank you for the kind words
😂😂😂😂😂😂 lol
No one takes the time to explain these things. A recent discomfort in my right upper quadrant of my stomach made me get an ultrasound. I have fatty liver, but my liver markers are not increased yet. I’m trying to make the right changes to “fix” it. It’s difficult! Thank you for your education - definitely will follow your recommendations!
Watch Dr Berry
Limit sugar intake
Especially manufactured fructose
Avoid most juices,sodas sports drinks, dried fruit
Do eat more protein, especially for breakfast, limit saturated fat and processed meat
Abstain from alcohol intake
Vitamin E ,omega-3 , choline per Doctors advice
My doctors informed me today after an ultrasound scan that I have fatty liver. He didn't a vise any vitamins just lose weight, exercise and eat healthier
@@mariebowen3730 saturated fat cures fatty liver and heart disease and much more. People need to be sceptacle of government guidelines when they lie to us. To your health.
Qué maravilla de explicación, la verdad que es un placer escuchar a este médico. Intentaré hacer lo posible de todo lo que dice en el video, pero bueno, sin sacrificio no se consigue nada.
I had fatty liver and acid reflux . In my case it was simply my body's way of saying "you're eating too much, you're not exercising enough, you're not taking good enough care of yourself." So now I do a better job of taking care of myself. No medicine, no tricks.
I’m not overweight (130#-5’2”) and NO alcohol but I got ultra sound of stomach because it was hurting from above bellybutton down to lower stomach area . Came back as NAFLD! I use to eat lots of “junk food/sweets and (never any soft drinks.. only water and coffee and tea) but don’t do sugar foods much anymore. I’ve been trying to do healthier and listen to Dr Berg a lot and now found You Dr Kim ! I’ve been trying to eat much better for a long time.. organic vegetables and fruit, grass fed meats and wild Atlantic salmon . I’m more exhausted and fuzzy headed now than before.
Is this normal while making the changes?
You explain everything so well and easier to understand.
Thanks for your help Dr Kim!
I've heard you need to add more "GOOD FATS" to your diet for that issue...Google it to make sure & check with your Doctor.
ime there is a period of transition that can be even flu-like. Maybe try heavily supplementing electrolytes, doing so has helped me dodge "keto flu" when transitioning off carbs. I started adding Relyte (powder mix made by redmond) to most of my water and experienced less lethargy, crampyness, and fogginess than on previous carb-to-no-carb transitions.
I had fatty liver for over 15 years. after all medication taken nothing happens. you are right sugar is the culprit but the best medication to back fatter liver to normal at 43 counts in 2 days is to eat nothing and drink only pure water in 2 days time my fatty liver was gone forever.
Really enjoyed the presentation style, calm voice, and pace of delivery. 👏🏼
thank you
Well researched discussion, almost like I am listening to an academic presentation. A breath of fresh air in YT. Truly appreciated. Thank you.
This has to be the best explanation of why fructose is problematic that I have ever heard. So often I hear prohibitions on it or a lot of hyperbole about how bad carbs are, but I didn't fully understand the why.
Great video, it's like it was made for me 🙌. Puts all the information in one place, thank you for organizing it thus.
thank you!
Doc, I can listen to you all day. Thank you for making the content so helpful and digestible.
Wow…Doctor, you are amazing. Your presence, clarity of information and your way of communicating was so powerful. I often find it difficult to listen to information on any subject…with you, I couldn’t get enough. Thank you for your concise presentation…you’ve made a difference in my life.
I’m happy I found Dr. Kim’s channel. I also really like Dr. Eric Berg here on TH-cam. These doctors are doing a great service with the information they provide. Thank you Dr. Kim!
What an eloquent presentation! Best NAFLD video on TH-cam! 👏🏼
I don’t know how this video came up in the feed but I’m glad it did. I like your calm approach. Definitely going to look for more of your videos.
Very impressive presentation - clear , concise and informative.
Thank you

Hi Dr May I say how wonderful it is to hear more news on the research as well as the foods and supplements and exercise as improving your lifestyle includes all areas. You do it so well. Easy to listen to you all day, love the calm voice of this can help that is not helping. But see Dr first as all tablets differ for each person and depending on the type of fatty liver. All that together is fascinating how working together with you and our Dr we can improve our life. Your knowledge and wanting to help millions of people at same time. Is truly appreciated and I am very grateful for your great knowledge and supporting us on this journey. I do like the plain facts. I am grateful to you for your earnest video and I look forward to seeing more of your brilliant work. This is the first time I have seen your video very grateful to you see more videos now. Thank you. So much, wonderful Dr. Love Bernadette xox ❤
Stop consuming fructose and sugars.
Fibre is key when eating fruits - don’t juice.
Stop sugary juice drinks/sodas and sports drinks
Avoid dried fruits; Dates and prunes.
Eat more protein especially for the first meal of the day - 25-35g. Helps to stop craving sugary foods.
No saturated fats - fried foods/ red meats. Dairy, and ice cream.
Have mono saturated / polyunsaturated fats - like olive oil.
Low glycemic foods
Avoid alcohol
Resistance training/ muscle building exercises.
Vitamin E
Omega 3 fatty acids
Choline supplement or choline foods
Betaine
Use whole foods as your medicine.
Thank you, I was hoping someone would break it down!
I love watching your video. Your style of delivery is calm and very understandable. My doctor told me I have fatty liver but never told me how to reduce or reverse it. Thank you Dr. Kim.
My sister was diagnosed with fatty liver disease few months ago.
Glad, I came across on your TH-cam channel.
I’m definitely going to share this with my sister!
Thank you!
The best and clear video on this topic. Thank you! Just subscribed!
Thank you!
Awareness of fructose intake and its effects very important to us.Good job,go ahead sir.
That was very comprehensive. I don't know if I have fatty liver or not, but I have almost all the symptoms and supplementing with NAC helped me, so I suspect I do have it. I will try doing what you recommend. Thank you, doctor.
What is NAC. I was diagnosed with fatty liver two years ago and have been low carb for a year and four months. Can’t wait to see in my next test how the fatty liver is now.
i loved this video. no blah blah blah you got to the point and showed us in a timely matter and yay. usually i have to click ahead to next thing. tyvm for this precise video. be safe and blessed.
I don't have NAFLD but I do have liver/gallbladder issues affecting digestion. I appreciate your advice being balanced in regards to healthy carbs vs keto diet. Also, healthy options for some saturated fats to be included like eggs, or cheese which I need for K2 (deli Muenster and aged Parnesan).
Parmesan is a copycat of Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano. You should look into these two that are the original formaggio grana. They both have the protected Italian product logo.
@@SaraC-us5ky Thank you! I will look for those.
Lots of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) in Parmesan cheese. AGEs are associated with many aging diseases. Better to just take a pill for K2.
I have the same issue if you follow the keto and meat diet with these problems the symptoms will agreesive for sure definitely
@@SaraC-us5kyif I have GERD and ulcer I also have fatty liver which cause me gallstone and ulcer can I eat those cheese
Excellent video, Leonid! Great, balanced information: without hype! I really appreciate that, you have a new subscriber!
Me2 ❤
I appreciate this video so much. I have mild fatty liver.
