Fatty Liver Nutritionist and Dietitian
Offering Virtual Appointments in North Carolina, Across the United States, and Worldwide
If you’ve been told you have fatty liver disease and feel confused, worried, or unsure what to do next, you’re not alone. Many people are given the diagnosis without clear guidance beyond general diet advice.
As a functional nutritionist, I help people with fatty liver understand what’s contributing to fat accumulation in the liver and how nutrition can support liver health in a practical, sustainable way.
As Seen in and Worked With:
Does This Sound Like You?
Clients seeking nutrition support for fatty liver disease often experience:
- A diagnosis of fatty liver or NASH with little explanation
- Elevated liver enzymes on blood work
- Fatigue or low energy
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Blood sugar or insulin resistance issues
- Digestive discomfort or bloating
You may have been told to lose weight or eat better without guidance
that fits your body or health history.

How Nutrition Plays a Role in Fatty Liver Disease
From a functional nutrition perspective, fatty liver disease is rarely caused by fat intake alone. Common contributing patterns include:
Blood Sugar and Insulin Resistance
Excess sugar and insulin stress play a major role in fat storage in the liver.
Nutrient Deficiencies
Low levels of nutrients such as choline, zinc, B vitamins, and antioxidants can impair liver function.
Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
Chronic inflammation increases liver strain and slows recovery.
Gut and Digestive Health
The gut-liver connection affects toxin clearance, inflammation, and nutrient absorption.
What Clients Often Notice Over Time
Every person’s response is different, but clients commonly report:
-
Improved energy levels
-
Better digestion and reduced bloating
-
Improved lab markers over time
-
More stable blood sugar
-
Increased confidence in food choices
Progress takes consistency, but nutrition support helps make changes realistic and sustainable.
