Fatty liver disease now affects nearly 1 in 3 adults — and most people have no idea they have it. In this short video, Dr. Mohammed Paika explains why fatty liver is not actually a liver problem, but a metabolic and obesity-driven condition rooted in insulin resistance, visceral fat, and modern lifestyle factors.
You’ll learn what fatty liver really is, why obesity and belly fat drive fat buildup in the liver, how this increases your risk for diabetes, heart disease, and liver damage, and most importantly how fatty liver can be reversed with the right metabolic approach.
This video is for anyone who has been told they have fatty liver, elevated liver enzymes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, belly fat, or metabolic syndrome — or for anyone who wants to prevent these conditions before they start.
