Overview

  • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease now affects one-third of adults worldwide and often remains silent until severe damage occurs.
  • The liver can regenerate damaged cells but repeated injury leads to irreversible scarring or cirrhosis.
  • Dr. Sethi’s expanded framework adds limits on daily alcohol, ultra-processed foods and high-fructose diets and emphasizes adequate protein to stave off silent liver damage.
  • Supporting habits such as drinking three or more cups of coffee daily, staying hydrated and aligning meals with the liver’s circadian rhythm can bolster detoxification and reduce disease risk.
  • He warns against excessive use of acetaminophen, unregulated supplements and routine exposure to household toxins without medical guidance.
