Liver Disease Nutritionist and Dietitian
Offering Virtual Appointments in North Carolina, Across the United States, and Worldwide
If you’ve been diagnosed with liver disease or told your liver markers are abnormal, you may feel overwhelmed and unsure what’s safe to eat or change. Many people receive limited guidance beyond general diet advice.
As a functional nutritionist, I help people with liver disease understand how nutrition, metabolism, digestion, and inflammation affect liver health and how to support their body in a realistic, sustainable way.

Clients seeking nutrition support for liver disease often come to me because they’re experiencing:
- A diagnosis of liver disease with little explanation
- Abnormal liver enzymes or imaging results
- Fatigue or low energy
- Digestive discomfort or bloating
- Blood sugar or metabolic concerns
- Confusion about what foods are safe or helpful
You may have been told to change your diet without support
tailored to your health history or daily life.

I would like to thank Samantha Gilbert for her outstanding discernment and help over this past year. I came to her very tired, always napping, feeling weak, unbalanced (from having Muscular Dystrophy), finding myself sluggish most days and frequently dealing with migraines.
In addition to all this, my digestive system was a mess and had been for years.
Based on the test results and her vast knowledge of how the microbiome works, Samantha was able to put together a plan of action for me, including supplements and changes in diet.
Within less than six months, I was feeling better. My histamine level returned to a normal number. I was sleeping through the night, no longer napping, my digestive system had improved significantly, and I was no longer having migraines.
Not only this, but upon standing, I had had difficulties with balance issues. I noticed that my balance improved significantly. That was a surprise to the both of us!
All I can say is this, God bless you, Samantha. You know what you’re doing. If you are not feeling well, give Samantha’s expertise a try. You have to follow the plan. You must stick with the program that she creates in order for it to work. I believe you, too, will notice significant improvements.

How Nutrition Plays a Role in Liver Health
From a functional nutrition perspective, liver disease is influenced by more than diet alone. Common contributing patterns include:
Blood Sugar and Insulin Stress
Metabolic strain increases liver workload and fat accumulation.
Nutrient Deficiencies
Low levels of nutrients such as protein, B vitamins, zinc, and antioxidants can impair liver function.
Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
Chronic inflammation places additional demand on the liver.
Gut and Digestive Health
The gut-liver connection affects toxin processing and immune signaling.
What Clients Often Notice Over Time
While each person’s experience is different, clients commonly report:
-

-
