Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: An early, often reversible stage where fat accumulates in liver cells due to alcohol abuse.
Alcoholic Hepatitis & Cirrhosis: Inflammation and the eventual development of irreversible scar tissue (fibrosis) that replaces healthy liver tissue.
Hepatitis C: A leading cause of cirrhosis, often progressing silently over decades before symptoms of severe liver damage appear.
Hepatitis B: Another major virus that can cause chronic inflammation, leading to extensive scarring, liver failure, and liver cancer.
A condition of excess fat buildup in the liver unrelated to alcohol, strongly associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Its more severe form, Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), involves inflammation and liver cell damage that can directly lead to cirrhosis.
Autoimmune and Genetic Diseases: Conditions like Autoimmune Hepatitis, where the body’s immune system attacks the liver, or inherited disorders such as Hemochromatosis (iron overload) and Wilson's disease (copper overload) that cause progressive liver damage.

I’d like to introduce you to the dedicated professionals who manage my care. To honor and protect their privacy, I’ve used AI-generated portraits to represent them on this site.
While these images are illustrative, the people, their names, and the compassionate expertise they provide are very real. They are the team I trust with my health, and I’m so grateful for their support on my journey.
Hello everyone! My name is Sasha, and welcome to my personal space on the web. About two years ago, I experienced a significant health crisis that led to a diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and around ten hospitalizations. It truly was a profound turning point, shifting my entire life’s focus. While I’m navigating multiple medical challenges, my primary focus remains on managing my liver health and its related complications.
I built this site as a practical resource for myself, making it easy to access information whenever I need it. I’m also deeply passionate about leveraging cutting-edge technology, including Artificial Intelligence, and am constantly expanding my knowledge of liver disease.

These are the foods I regularly eat to support and improve my liver health.
Anthocyanins fight oxidative stress & improve glucose.
Support brain function protect blood vessels, and enhance immunity.
Cuts fibrosis & cancer risk, lowers enzymes.
Antioxidants protect liver cells and improve survival in cirrhosis.
Sulfur fuels glutathione, lowers liver fat, improves insulin sensitivity, reduces oxidative stress, and protects cells.
Omega-3s reduce inflammation & protect liver cells.
Provide clean protein, improve cholesterol balance, boost immunity.
Sulforaphane boosts detox, slows fibrosis, and reduces inflammation. Fiber also supports gut health and lowers toxin absorption.
Protect liver with omega-3s, vitamin E, antioxidants, selenium. Lower inflammation, detox, balance fats, control sugar.
Lowers bad (LDL) cholesterol, raises good (HDL), and protects your heart by blocking liver cholesterol production.
A high-potency probiotic (8 strains, 900 billion CFU) that restores healthy gut bacteria and reduces inflammation, especially helpful for liver and digestive health.
A blood thinner that prevents clots, strokes, and vein blockages by blocking clotting factor Xa.
A gut-targeted antibiotic that lowers harmful bacteria and ammonia levels to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (brain fog from liver disease).
A beta-blocker that lowers blood pressure and heart rate, reducing portal vein pressure to prevent variceal bleeding in cirrhosis.
Bioma is a dietary supplement that has garnered attention for its multifaceted approach to gut health, combining probiotics, prebiotics, and a postbiotic in a single

Projected Liver Disease Statistics for 2025
While exact, finalized statistics for 2025 are not yet published, we can project the numbers based on the most current data and established trends from leading health organizations like the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the CDC, and the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD).
Here is a breakdown of the estimated numbers for liver diseases in the U.S. for 2025. This data reflects a recent and significant change in how we categorize and diagnose fatty liver disease.
More than 100 million people in the U.S. have some form of liver disease, and many don't even know it. This makes liver disease a major public health concern.
Approximately 40% of all adults in the U.S. are projected to have fatty liver disease, now officially referred to as MASLD. This condition is closely linked to metabolic issues like obesity and diabetes.
A new study in 2025 found that 12.8% of U.S. adults who are not overweight still have fatty liver disease. This highlights that you don't have to be obese to be at risk for this condition.
The prevalence of cirrhosis, which is severe scarring of the liver, is estimated to be 2.6% in the U.S. population. The majority of these cases are caused by fatty liver disease (MASLD).
While an estimated 100 million people have some form of liver disease, only about 4.5 million adults (1.8%) have been officially diagnosed. This points to a huge gap in detection and treatment.
Fatty liver disease (MASLD) is deeply connected to other metabolic conditions: Up to 75% of people with type 2 diabetes also have MASLD. More than 70% of people with MASLD also live with obesity.
