Fatty Liver Disease with Dr Hanouneh MD & Kristin Kirkpatrick MS RDN

33% of Global Adults Suffer With Fatty Liver Disease BUT it is Reversible with Dietary and Lifestyle Changes!

Whether NAFLD or MASLD, the facts remain the same – livers are sicker than they’ve ever been. And the reason why is the crux of this episode. It’s not the ills of old like hepatitis or alcohol that’s actually why the majority of liver transplants are done – it’s fatty livers. And the saddest part – fatty liver disease is a completely avoidable and reversible disease that requires no more than the basics of eating well, sleeping well and moving our body enough.

Kristin Kirkpatrick is the President of KAK, Consulting, LLC, a dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic Dept of Department of Wellness & Preventive Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, and a Senior Fellow at the Meadows Behavioural Healthcare in Wickenburg, Arizona. She is a best-selling author, an experienced presenter, and an award-winning Dietitian. She is the co-author of “Skinny Liver”, and the co-author of her newest book “Regenerative Health: Discover Your Metabolic Type and Renew Your Liver For Life”.

Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh completed his internal medicine residency and gastroenterology and hepatology fellowship training at the Cleveland Clinic, before moving in 2015 to Minnesota to join MNGI Digestive Health on the board of directors. Dr. Hanouneh has spent a great deal of time in liver disease. He has a passion for studies related to fatty liver. He co-authored the “Regenerative Health” book, and the “Skinny Liver” book. He has presented at several national and international meetings and has been an author on over seventy papers as well as numerous abstracts.
