I have NASH and HAD stage 3 bridging fibrosis per a 2003 liver biopsy. Under a liver specialist care, for 15 years I have taken Fish oil and Vit E. I recently entered a UCSF study and as a part of that received a fibroscan that shows I have improved from a stage 3 to Stage 2 bordering on Stage 1. I believe those supplements and more importantly keeping my diabetes under control from an A1c of 8 to the last couple of years a 7.0 was what improved my NASH. So I recommend controling your diabetes! Good luck!
Dr, Thank you. I was so hoping you would include Berberine.❤I have been on Berberine since November. It's changed my life.. I've lost 36% of my original weight. I now have my best friend's son, as well as my own on it. It stops the insane cravings. I'm still doing the work but it's not a constant uphill battle to not think of grazing or eating carb filled rubbish anymore. I didn't tell my doctor because I didn't want the usual Doctor's speal on it being useless. I had my yearly bloodwork done in July and when I went in my Doctor flat out asked me as I sat down "what have you been doing?" All my markers had dropped. The biggest change was cholesterol. Everything had dropped to a decade ago's levels.
@@NinoNlkklI started on Welbetx and lost the majority of my weight on that. The last few months I’ve been using best naturals berberine hcl. The HCL version is meant to be absorbed by the body better. Please note, the Berberine won’t do all the work. There still needs to be a lot of saying “No!” to eating wrong foods. The berberine makes the “No!” easier..
I did share the products but they were deleted? Look for products that are third party backed.. Also keep in mind the berberine hcl version is absorbed by the body better..
I was diagnosed with NASH, which had progressed to Grade 3. Over the past year, I made significant lifestyle changes that helped me reverse it. I lost 10 kg by controlling my weight, stopped eating red meat, and cut out refined oils completely. I now use only a small amount of mustard oil. I also have type 2 diabetes, which I’ve kept under control with a strict diet. I avoid fruits like banana, sweet lime, and mango as they are harmful for diabetes. I also stopped eating wheat and instead focus on a more balanced diet, including nuts. As a result, I no longer need liver medication, and my diabetes remains stable. I believe that regular physical activity-pushing the body for 2-3 hours to the point of exhaustion and pain-is key to maintaining good health. NEVER GIVE YOU ❤
Regular CoQ10 (ubiquinone) is OK for younger people (below age 40), but ubiquinol, the reduced form of CoQ10, is the better version for older adults because it is ready to be utilized by the body and doesn't have to be converted, which older people have trouble doing. I've been taking ubiquinol and omega3 for many years and they are the most effective of all the supplements you mentioned. I also take berberine to promote metabolic health and it is far more effective for gut health than every probiotic I've tried. Probiotics tend to be useless in my experience. I take 500mg of berberine 2x daily 30 min before meals and it fixed my gut issues. However, it's best to start berberine slowly and gradually increase dose to avoid GI distress, although this was temporary for me and passed in a week or so.
I really like that your videos continually reinforce that individual requirements play a part in deciding what supplements/dosage people should take. Too many health videos take one or two pieces of research and make out that the findings will be suitable for everyone, and everyone will have the same results.
Full agreement on the Milk Thistle (unless you have severe ragweed allergy since it is in the same family). And dandelion root tea with half a lemon squeezed in. Also, turmeric and black pepper added to a daily salad with olive oil & apple cider vinegar (turmeric is fat soluble, pepper increases absorption) Anecdotal, but an ultrasound showed I had fatty liver and my AST &ALT were in the 120s a year ago. After the use of Milk Thistle & tea & lemon & turmeric with black pepper, my labs dropped back to the 20s. Full disclosure: I also took most processed foods and sugars out of my diet, which probably accounted for a big % of the drop. And 25lb weight loss over that time span.

I did a deep dive on that but now along with all the other deep dives I've done till I almost had a brain bleed I know I walked away and saved my money, I just don't recall why, and it's already 2:30am:)
Your thorough explanation is highly appreciated. Glutathione, sulphuric and apple cider vinegar could also be mentioned . Avoiding fructose in high concentration and seed oils as well as canned food might be of great help regarding fatty liver disease
I take omega supplements on the advice of my ophthalmologist. It has helped alleviate dry eyes. My primary care physician approved. I am very cautious taking supplements because i have kidney and liver damage. I am allergic to milk thistle (causes hives):so that’s out as a supplement. Appreciate your channel. You present facts and cite studies
I’ve read repeatedly that it’s important to take tocotrienols and not just tocopherols when supplementing with vitamin E. Selenium is helpful as are Alpha Lipoic Acid, N-Acetyl Cysteine, and everything mentioned here in this video. I use two brands specifically, AOR and SISU.
ferment your own milk kefir, then perform a secondary ferment by adding blueberries, then add psyllium when you consume it. this is the ULTIMATE food/beverage. it is the King of the Hill, the GOAT, the Supreme Wellness Drink!
I just started fermenting kefir a few days ago. 10 years ago we lived in Minnesota and I was able to get raw goat milk to make kefir from. Goat milk the GOAT! Now I can only find store bought grass fed organic milk, but it is as we New Mexicans say, "mejor que nada" better than nothing. 😂
My first post from this doc. Very impressive and up to date for a conventional physician. Nac/glutathione I think has good evidence behind it. Also Curcumin is said by some to need pepper to potentiate it so worth checking out although thats not my experience Unfortunately while food is your best medicine theoretically, depletion of nutritional value and addition of toxins and in some cases substitution for more palatable varieties but with less nutritional value, all mean that supplementation is often required. Of course if we ate and drank and lived right in the first place then we wouldn’t have fatty liver….
I was going to say NAC as well. If people are on blood thinners they need to be careful though as it can interfere with clotting and platelets. Vitamin D, Magnesium. Vitamin K2, B12, etc.
@survivormary1126 all makes sense although I wonder whether the bleeding increased risks with nac and a largenumber of cv beneficial substances aren't exaggerated....
Thank you. I really appreciate this video. To know there are natural supplements to help is powerful. My mother is in her 80s and has taken vitamin e every day since i was a kid.
Non-Hoskins lymphoma food source is HDL cholesterol. Although it’s true it’s recommended that your HDL higher than your LDL, both should be as low as possible. My father was unknowingly feeding his cancer with omega 3 supplements.

@@HealthAdviceTV Incorrect. They are both rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed is just in a form that needs to be converted by the body so fish oil is preferred.

@@zacharyshort384 Go read it again. I said not contain high amount and i stood by it go and do research. Fish oil has more health benefits than flaxseed.
I am taking Liver Support with Milk Thistle from VitaminShoppe. Besides Milk Thistle, it also has Dandelion, Calcium, Inositol, and Phosphatidylcholine. No idea what the last two is. My liver enzymes are elevated so I am hoping this formula helps. I like the video and i am definitely going to look at adding a few of these, including my diet.
Thanks, I agree with most of this except for some reason both Berberine and Milk Thistle make me feel sick. I tried different brands a few times but those two just don't agree with me.
Nice summation. I am in good health and hope to continue, as such my emphasis is to combat inflation (particularly arterial inflammation) and insulin resistance. My daily supplements are baby aspirin (81), K2 D3, Berberine (1200), Fish oil (omega 3), Zinc and Magnesium. That and a 4-5 mile bike ride and laps in the pool everyday but I am going to try resting a day in between to see if it works out. The first point of attack is to reduce the insulin resistance, I measure my blood glucose to see if I can reduce the cycle range from 65-130 (fasting to eating) to 65-110. Sadly, I have almost given up all high sugar and flower foods like pastries, donuts and so on. Takes time to adjust, but getting use to it and can ignore temptations now. Is there a better home test that I can use to measure insulin resistance? Inflammation testing, not sure how to measure, any information is much appreciated.
And drink lots of coffee! Natural defense for fatty liver! 3 cups min per day! No sugar!!! The coffee bean does miracles! For brain, liver, kidneys, etc!
Had A.D.H.D my entire life the biggest life change for me that reversed the symptoms was doing away with vegetable oils and processed food. Was put on black coffee at age 5 to calm me down. 6 months after doing away with vegetable oils and processed food coffee for the first time in my life gave me a caffeine buzz i was bouncing off the walls. I just use clarified butter in cooking abd even put it in my coffee. Balance of omega-6 and omega-3 is the key to real health change.
@OceanFrontVilla3 all oils seed and vegetable.I dont know about the affects of the lower omega-6 oils. Ghee is my go to choice. I feel so good I no longer have the arthritis that was flaring up so I just don't take the chance. A life long of addiction that was tied to adhd which is a dopamine imbalance. Gotta wonder how many other dopamine related conditions can be helped. Keeping a close 4:1 to a 1:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is the key.
@@JambavatiSutaDas Thanks for this information. My daughter was diagnosed 2 years ago at age 32. She managed to get by very well via masking because she is extremely intelligent but once she became independent it has been much more of a struggle for her.
@OceanFrontVilla3 put it this way once I had the adhd symptoms reverse to where coffee gave me a buzz and woke me up. I quit nicotine and marijuana at the same time cold turkey I could never do thar before it was always hell to go through.
Please, keep making your videos. They are super helpful with scientific proof. Could you talk re cholesterol - bad/good. It is such a controversial topic
My Goodness, my timing of watching this video and reading this comment couldn't have been more perfect. I'm eating Rocky Road ice cream (with peppermint ice cream) right now. Plus, I have a fatty liver. 😅😂🤦♀️
I believe in supplements. But the greatest challenge is quantities. How much to use and how much impact they may have on the condition. Most doctors are not well trained on this, and many admit they are unable to advise. Some even disregard them as inferior to medicine. Yet we are always told to consult our doctors on the use of supplements. Shouldn't we be told to consult a dietitian?
My chiropractor suggested eating beets. I love beets so daily ate some beets or had a moderate amount of beet juice for several months. Worked great. I would suggest others try this and see how it works for you.
Took ALT from 108 to 24 by (1) ending all added sugar, especially HFCS, (2) drinking black coffee or decaf all day, (3) supplementing Thiamine 100mg, Thorne NAC, Vit E 400 mg. Most important element, I think, was simply eliminating added sugar and drinking black coffee.
I take the following supplements and my liver enzymes are 22 and 25. Turmeric Tudca Milk Thistle Dandelion Root NAC Glutathione Choline Lecithin Cod Liver Oil
@@zacharyshort384 I started milk thistle and dandelion root at the same time, and the lecithin is sunflower, they make a milk thistle dandelion root capsule. I take 6 a day
@@zayaamad3080 2 grams once a day Vascepa. Take with food can leave a fishy taste. My doctor wrote a prescription for it and my insurance covered it. Its expensive.
@@zayaamad3080 vascepa. 2 grams once a day thru rx. It really dropped my triglyceride numbers by 100 points. It’s good for your liver and your heart. I had a cardiac issue because I had low potassium and magnesium so I am now on a potassium chloride and magnesium supplement along with iron and.Thiamine
I reversed fatty liver (enzyme level 150 down to 55) with a careful diet and drinking mineral water with added burdock root/milk thistle/dandelion extracts (tincture) over about 5 months
Great brands yea sure great that they have a hell of an over percentage of what your body needs, wants plus other crap. Have to do more research on that lol.
I have fatty liver and I'm currently on a keto/carnivore type diet to target reductions in my fasting insulin and AST/ALT measures. Regarding supplements to speed that process, recent research has targeted several supplements such as Turmeric/Curcumin as potentially causing liver damage. Now, I'm thinking that curcumin has also shown many benefits on other studies, so to mitigate potential issues, I'm reducing its dosage, but not eliminating it. Some of these supplements come in very large doses, and I suspect our bodies were never designed to metabolize that much of a given nutrient or herb. Less can be more. The fact that these are beneficial doesn't mean you can't overwhelm liver function, and most supplement formulations seem to be based on more is better. Along with a keto type diet, I think including but not overusing these nutrients is an appropriate approach.
Dr. how much curcumin is safe. 1 gram? there is a Pharmacist bogger that said that 1 gram of curcumin such as that of Kirkland tumeric curcumin us not safe? Thank you I could not find any data that specifically addresses dosage
Dr. Kim, THANK YOU you for all the NAFLD information in multiple videos. As you know, many OTC medications can cause false-positives for common drug tests. Do you happen to know if any of the downstream metabolites of berberine might cause such false positives?
Carnivore: no fiber? Makes no sense. “A carnivore diet, which is high in animal protein, can increase the risk of fatty liver disease, especially for people who are already overweight or elderly.” Ncbi
I have NAFLD WITH AN ALT reading 160 which I brought down to 28 with milk Thistle and green tea (7 cups a day) To help with lowering blood sugar I taking Niacin 250mg and will see next blood results later.
Great video doc! I have NAFLD and am currently taking all the supplements you've mentioned, but I've also discovered Amla powder (or Indian Gooseberry) Are you familiar with any of its studies on liver health?
Thanks Doc, Subscribed, Doc how to lower Cystatin C 0.90 GFR 83, 49 yo obese Height 170 cm Weight 120 kg. Ureum creatinine HBaic, glucose, all normal. Except LDL and Uric Acid.
You mentioned choline supplementation. Well I am open to supplements that can help my fatty liver condition I should note that I almost died from pulmonary embolism caused by conversion of choline into tmao.
Here is my issue as an academic, health professional and someone who recently had some elevated liver enzymes as well as gallbladder stones/sludge. So, being an academic in health field, I went online reading everything I could find about slightly elevated enzymes and just didn't come to any positive conclusion. Specialists, medical specialists advice more protein, no processed foods, no sugar and fruits, not legumes etc. Others, suggest legumes and cheese, turmeric etc., etc.. I looked up scientific literature in the last 5 years and unpaid research is inconclusive. So, as on all matters medical, what are people to believe? So confusing.
Take what you feel has an effect. I personally found no benefits from supplements, try to keep my gut healthy with plenty of fruits and veg. Fermented foods are good sources. I literally feel my immune system weaken when I eat shop bread, not handmade sourdough, sweet stuff, alcohol, white rice, white flour and refined and processed foods. It's hard as I am a sweet tooth junkie, like a glass of wine and junk food! Also beware taking too many probiotics - our gut should produce them naturally, and you don't want billions of strains of microbes fighting in there!
I have NASH and HAD stage 3 bridging fibrosis per a 2003 liver biopsy. Under a liver specialist care, for 15 years I have taken Fish oil and Vit E. I recently entered a UCSF study and as a part of that received a fibroscan that shows I have improved from a stage 3 to Stage 2 bordering on Stage 1. I believe those supplements and more importantly keeping my diabetes under control from an A1c of 8 to the last couple of years a 7.0 was what improved my NASH. So I recommend controling your diabetes! Good luck!

Have you heard of camelina oil?
Please, keep making your videos. They are super helpful with scientific proof. Could you talk re cholesterol - bad/good. It is such a controversial topic
Darn it. Was hoping to see Rocky Road as one of the supplements
😅😅😅
My Goodness, my timing of watching this video and reading this comment couldn't have been more perfect. I'm eating Rocky Road ice cream (with peppermint ice cream) right now. Plus, I have a fatty liver. 😅😂🤦♀️
@@emceeb2485 👌🏻😂
LOL!!!😂
I believe in supplements. But the greatest challenge is quantities. How much to use and how much impact they may have on the condition. Most doctors are not well trained on this, and many admit they are unable to advise. Some even disregard them as inferior to medicine. Yet we are always told to consult our doctors on the use of supplements. Shouldn't we be told to consult a dietitian?
My chiropractor suggested eating beets. I love beets so daily ate some beets or had a moderate amount of beet juice for several months. Worked great. I would suggest others try this and see how it works for you.
Beets can give you kidney stones, just be careful
@@tinawestbrook6359 How do you prepare beets? Boil?
@eeodeguzman you can boil or roast them. In USA we also can get canned beets (drink the liquid also) or V8 has a beet carrot juice drink.
@@tinawestbrook6359 Thanks much for your reply. 😊
Took ALT from 108 to 24 by (1) ending all added sugar, especially HFCS, (2) drinking black coffee or decaf all day, (3) supplementing Thiamine 100mg, Thorne NAC, Vit E 400 mg. Most important element, I think, was simply eliminating added sugar and drinking black coffee.
Found it now.. Thanx for response Doc.
Berberine worked well for me, it seemed to kickstart my metabolism, I lost 16kg, I take it with milk thistle and coconut oil.

I took omega-3 for six months, two capsules once a day and dropped 100 points off my liver test
Dosage
@@zayaamad3080 2 grams once a day Vascepa. Take with food can leave a fishy taste. My doctor wrote a prescription for it and my insurance covered it. Its expensive.
@@zayaamad3080 vascepa. 2 grams once a day thru rx. It really dropped my triglyceride numbers by 100 points. It’s good for your liver and your heart. I had a cardiac issue because I had low potassium and magnesium so I am now on a potassium chloride and magnesium supplement along with iron and.Thiamine
Which brand do you take?
Were they 1000mg capsules?
I reversed fatty liver (enzyme level 150 down to 55) with a careful diet and drinking mineral water with added burdock root/milk thistle/dandelion extracts (tincture) over about 5 months
You couldve done that in 10 days strict keto, just sayin.
How about Chlorella? is it good for the fatty liver? thank you
What about fatty liver after gall bladder surgery ? Especially when you cannot digest properly due to ibs diarrhea
Oxbile
Would like to hear your thoughts on TUDCA.
Excellent information. Thanks 😊
What is milk thr??? ( dont know the word) but hear it often to help liver.
Chardon marie, milk thistle, peut-être. Plante pour le foie.
Great brands= Thorne, Pure Encapsulations, Jarrow, and Naturelo.
Great brands yea sure great that they have a hell of an over percentage of what your body needs, wants plus other crap. Have to do more research on that lol.
I take Milk Thistle, Probiotics, digestive enzymes.
Very good channel. Dr Kim L teaches correctly.
which is better Phosphatidylcholine or choline?
Is there one supplement or vitamin that we can take that has all this stuff in it so we're not taking a gazillion supplements?
I have fatty liver and I'm currently on a keto/carnivore type diet to target reductions in my fasting insulin and AST/ALT measures. Regarding supplements to speed that process, recent research has targeted several supplements such as Turmeric/Curcumin as potentially causing liver damage. Now, I'm thinking that curcumin has also shown many benefits on other studies, so to mitigate potential issues, I'm reducing its dosage, but not eliminating it. Some of these supplements come in very large doses, and I suspect our bodies were never designed to metabolize that much of a given nutrient or herb. Less can be more. The fact that these are beneficial doesn't mean you can't overwhelm liver function, and most supplement formulations seem to be based on more is better. Along with a keto type diet, I think including but not overusing these nutrients is an appropriate approach.
Moderation is the key, be it anything.
Then tell your liver to exercise.
Hi doc glutathione it will help fatty liver????
thx for the info doc.. btw, is it ok to take glutathione if you have NAFL?
When you refer to "high doses" of Omega 3, how many mgs are you talking about?
doses greater than 1 g per day are associated with increased risk
@@LeonidKimMD wow 😮
Take healthy foods and eat different all types of healthy food but don't get over or high dose! Stay healthy stay happy 👍
L_glutamine should not be taken if you have a fatty liver??
So, is turmeric pills good
Many thanks for sharin man, beautiful videos content man,

Dr. how much curcumin is safe. 1 gram? there is a Pharmacist bogger that said that 1 gram of curcumin such as that of Kirkland tumeric curcumin us not safe? Thank you I could not find any data that specifically addresses dosage
Be interested to hear your perspective on the use of garlic and ginger supplements?
He Doc I'm going through a series of stomach Meds including colestyra mine 85 mg№
Dr. Kim, THANK YOU you for all the NAFLD information in multiple videos. As you know, many OTC medications can cause false-positives for common drug tests. Do you happen to know if any of the downstream metabolites of berberine might cause such false positives?
The spirit of vitality be with you 707
Thank you for this video I learned so much 😊
Just stop eating sugar and fruit. I reversed NAFLD in six months going carnivore. Also reversed T2D and congestive heart failure.
Fruit isn't bad for you
The sugar in fruit is VERY harmful to those with T2 diabetes.@@robinharris0562
Did you blow your kidneys or gallbladder out ?
@@robinharris0562 Fruit can be problematic... depends on the fruit. Grapes are just sugar bombs. Go for whole fruits that have good fiber content.
Carnivore: no fiber? Makes no sense.
“A carnivore diet, which is high in animal protein, can increase the risk of fatty liver disease, especially for people who are already overweight or elderly.” Ncbi
So, In the nutshell what supplement should you take that has all these wonderful ingredient that you took time to explain? Thank you
Thank you Doc! You are the best!
how about TUDCA?
Thank you for this video
Dr can u share a video on gallbladder stones pls..on how it can break
I have NAFLD WITH AN ALT reading 160 which I brought down to 28 with milk Thistle and green tea (7 cups a day) To help with lowering blood sugar I taking Niacin 250mg and will see next blood results later.
What is the dosage for cur cumin and omega 3 and which types. Mahalo!
Great video doc! I have NAFLD and am currently taking all the supplements you've mentioned, but I've also discovered Amla powder (or Indian Gooseberry) Are you familiar with any of its studies on liver health?
What about NAC?
Which strains of probiotics?? There are so many.
Thanks Doc, Subscribed, Doc how to lower Cystatin C 0.90 GFR 83, 49 yo obese Height 170 cm Weight 120 kg. Ureum creatinine HBaic, glucose, all normal. Except LDL and Uric Acid.
what about silymarin? thats what a doctor here in the philippines gave when they saw high AST and ALT
That also works; same as milk thistle.
It is milk thisle
Hi Doc how about GLUTATHIONE? It's an antioxidant ..It can also help treat NAFLD? Watching from Albay, Bicol Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Any opinion on N-Acetyl-Cystine (NAC)?
Can we take omega 3 supplement (epa + dha combined 1500 mg ) thrice a week only ??? Is it safe ???
You mentioned choline supplementation. Well I am open to supplements that can help my fatty liver condition I should note that I almost died from pulmonary embolism caused by conversion of choline into tmao.
Here is my issue as an academic, health professional and someone who recently had some elevated liver enzymes as well as gallbladder stones/sludge. So, being an academic in health field, I went online reading everything I could find about slightly elevated enzymes and just didn't come to any positive conclusion. Specialists, medical specialists advice more protein, no processed foods, no sugar and fruits, not legumes etc. Others, suggest legumes and cheese, turmeric etc., etc.. I looked up scientific literature in the last 5 years and unpaid research is inconclusive. So, as on all matters medical, what are people to believe? So confusing.
Try what's recommended here in this doctor's video and find out for yourself.
Great informative video.
Can you recommend what probiotics to take
Take what you feel has an effect. I personally found no benefits from supplements, try to keep my gut healthy with plenty of fruits and veg. Fermented foods are good sources. I literally feel my immune system weaken when I eat shop bread, not handmade sourdough, sweet stuff, alcohol, white rice, white flour and refined and processed foods. It's hard as I am a sweet tooth junkie, like a glass of wine and junk food!
Also beware taking too many probiotics - our gut should produce them naturally, and you don't want billions of strains of microbes fighting in there!
Hello Dok I'm taking Alaska Omega 3 Premium Deep Sea Salmon fish oil,is this safe for me I have fatty liver
Very informative video. And very handsome guy too. Thanks a lot, Doc!
How about the phospolipids
