Liver Disease
There are various stages of Liver Disease with each one becoming more serious and irreversible

Your liver is an integral part of your body, with over 500 vital functions. But when excessive fat builds up on this essential organ, you could experience serious underlying health problems.
While it’s normal for the liver to contain a small amount of fat, when the fat storage reaches 5-15% of its overall weight, it can be defined as fatty.
The liver’s role of helping the body process nutrients from food and drinks and filter harmful substances from your blood is vital.
That’s why it’s important that the liver needs to avoid the development of these undesirable deposits of fat to function to its fullest potential.
Did you know that Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is estimated to affect up to 1 in 5 people in the UK. Rates are increasing with rising levels of obesity. Although most cases of NAFLD are linked to excess weight, you can develop the disease even if you have a healthy weight.
There are several stages of NAFLD, having one stage does not mean you will definitely develop the next one. Treating NAFLD with a healthy diet, physical activity, specific herbal supplements and weight loss can slow or even reverse your NAFLD especially if it is detected at an earlier stage.
How serious is a fatty liver?
Fatty liver infiltration, known as hepatic steatosis, can become a more serious health problem if left with no changes or isn’t detected in its early stages.
And having high levels of fat in your liver is associated with more grave health problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney disease.
There are four stages to the progression of a fatty liver:
1. Simple fatty liver – When there is a build-up of excess fat in the liver.
2. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) – Not only is there excess fat but there’s inflammation in the liver.
3. Fibrosis – The persistent inflammation in the liver has now caused scarring. Scarring impairs the function of the liver.
4. Cirrhosis – The scarring of the liver has become widespread, impairing the liver’s ability to function.
Cirrhosis is the most severe and irreversible stage. It can lead to fluid build-up in the abdomen (ascites), swelling of the veins in your oesophagus, confusion, drowsiness and slurred speech, liver cancer, and end-stage liver failure.
Causes & Symptoms of NAFLD
NAFLD often has no specific symptoms, even if the disease is at a later stage. You may not show any symptoms for many years.
There are a variety of NAFLD causes that can lead to an unhealthy and poorly functioning liver.
NAFLD occurs when someone has a build-up of fat in the liver that is not caused by alcohol use. The reasons for this type of liver disease, including steatohepatitis, can include:
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Insulin resistance
- Metabolic syndrome
- Hyperlipidaemia
- High blood sugar
- High levels of fats, specifically triglycerides, in the blood. For example, if you eat too many carbohydrates and proteins, they can be converted to triglycerides. These are stored in the fat cells and deposited in the liver.
All these causes of NAFLD encourage excess fat to build within the liver, with obesity often the main culprit. So much so that some experts estimate that about two-thirds of obese adults and half of obese children may have fatty livers.
There are also some instances where people have fatty liver due to other diseases, such as:
- PCOS
- Chronic hepatitis B
- Chronic hepatitis C
- Hemochromatosis (a genetic abnormality of iron storage.)
- Medicines like steroids or chemotherapy.
In some cases, women can develop fatty liver because of complications that can develop in late pregnancy.
High fat levels in this major organ are linked to diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes, so you must take care of your largest solid organ.
What are the symptoms of NAFLD?
Signs that could indicate fatty liver disease include:
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Nausea
- Abdominal pain
- Swelling in the upper abdomen
- Spider-like blood vessels – caused when fat builds up in the liver from fatty liver disease, and blood flows sluggishly or clots, which impacts the blood pressure.
- Itching – Pruritus (an unpleasant sensation that causes the need to scratch) can be a symptom of liver disease. Not all people with liver disease develop pruritus, and its prevalence can vary depending on the underlying cause.
- Yellowing of the skin and eyes
- A build-up of fluid and swelling of the legs (oedema) and abdomen (ascites)
- Mental issues/confusion/depression
- Loss of appetite
- Constipation, diarrhoea, or both.
- Headaches and migraines
- Pain or heaviness in the right ribcage
- Poor digestion, bloating, or food sensitivities
- Persistent deficiencies in Vitamin D, A, E, K
- Feeling angry or frustrated often
- Acne/rashes/eczema
- Thyroid issues – 70% of thyroid conversions happen in the liver
- Trouble staying asleep
- Floating stools
- Season allergies
- Extra sensitive to caffeine
- Bacterial, fungal, or parasite overgrowth
- You feel tired in the morning – A lack of energy could mean your liver is burdened and struggles to filter toxins overnight.
- You struggle to lose fat – Hormones in the thyroid affect your metabolic rate. It also determines the body’s fat-burning protocols and cravings.
- You don’t feel well after meals – Your liver controls bile production and this aids digestion. Digestion slows down and food backs up when bile is stagnant, and dangerous bacteria flourishes. This can cause fatigue, bloating, and gas after meals.
- You struggle to think/focus – Your brain uses a lot of blood to function. The liver filters your blood, so if the blood is toxic and ‘dirty,’ this can lead to increased brain fog.
- You have dark eye circles – When the blood flow lacks oxygen and fills with toxins and poisons, the thinner skin around your eyes darkens
- Or NO symptoms at all
My Liver The Inside Story
My Liver Health Journey
When we become so busy in our work and/or personal life we can easily forget to look after ourselves.
This happened to me in mid 2023. I began to notice some symptoms which included:
- Feeling more tired than usual
- Getting mental sluggishness not being able to think properly
- Developed itchy skin
- Became more agitated easily
- Irregular sleep patterns
This was pointing me in the direction of my Liver being imbalanced, I balance my liver daily and my organs as part of my daily self-healing reset which also includes breathwork and meditation.
However, I knew my Liver was imbalanced. I had a Liver blood test done which came back normal but i still knew that something was not right.
I had heard of the Liver clinic which provides a specific Liver Scan called a Fibroscan, a non-invasive procedure used to assess liver health by measuring the velocity of sound waves passing through the liver to determine the amount of fat and scarring (fibrosis) in the liver.
I booked in for my scan. Following my scan the results were available immediately and they showed that i had abnormal number of fats cells in my liver and that i was at stage 1 of NAFLD. This did come as a bit of a shock to me!
I then had a detailed consultation with a Liver and Nutritional health expert as part of my scan. We discussed some nutritional dietary changes together with my daily self help routines and exercise. It was also determined that based upon my results i would need to take de-liver-ance which is a powerful herbal elixir formulated for liver health at one bottle per day for 3 months.
I mentioned that i had my liver blood tests and they had come back normal the consultant then explained blood tests will only pick up abnormal readings when the issue has become worse so in my case if my fatty liver score was for example at 25 or 30% it would have been picked but the scan picked it up at 13%.
The scan had detected at an early stage my NAFLD which then enabled me to make the changes i needed to reverse it.
After a period of 3 months during which i focused more on my self, taking the de-liver-ance daily coupled with Acupuncture, Organ Realignment, some dietary changes and increased focus of physical exercise inc yoga i had another scan and the results showed that my NAFLD had reversed and i was at a healthy stage 0.
This episode really opened my up my eyes and the need for me not only to better look after myself but also how important early detection was, the earlier you can detect NAFLD the better chances you have of reversing it and having and maintaining a healthy Liver.
I then decided to collaborate with the Liver Clinic to be able to offer our Health Partners access to this unique Liver Scanning and to the herbal Liver Health Elixir. As my experience showed the earlier you can detect issues with your Liver the better chances you have of reversing them.
I'm delighted to be able to offer this service to our Health Partners with exclusive discounts!
Your Liver The Inside Story
Liver Health
Liver health has had little attention but we are starting to recognise the importance of this master organ. With an optimum liver you will feel multiple benefits including improved immunity, sleep, mood, mental clarity and glowing skin.
It’s a little known fact that the liver performs over 500 vital functions
With over 500 functions, the liver is considered a “factory of the body” and arguably the busiest organ, alongside the heart and brain.
The main functions include detoxifying the body and transforming food into energy. Other essential liver functions include:
- Cholesterol production and clearance
- Storing iron and processing haemoglobin
- Ammonia conversion and waste elimination
- Blood clot regulation
- Resistance to infections
- Blood sugar level maintenance
- Metobolising nutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins)
- Metobolising essential hormones
- Blood level regulation in amino acids
- Digestive tract blood processing
The Liver in Eastern Medicine is also linked to:
- The Eyes
- Rhomboid Muscles (muscles in between the shoulder blades)
- Tendons
- The Emotions - Stress, Anger & Frustration
Liver Facts:
- Its the largest internal organ
- Its the second largest overall organ after the Skin
- A healthy liver filters about 1.7 liters of blood per minute
- The liver can regenerate itself! As long as at least 25% of the healthy liver remains, it can become whole again!
- At any given moment, the liver holds about 13% of your body’s blood supply.
- During pregnancy, the liver increases in size and weight to accommodate the changing metabolic demands and hormonal balance of the mother.
- It contains 300 billion specialized cells.
At Bodisync we are on a journey to increase awareness surrounding this all important organ especially following my own Liver health journey. We are delighted to become affiliated with the The Liver Clinic, our collective mission is to advance the future of liver health with natural and tech enabled healthcare.
The introduction of liver scanning being accessible to everyone, is an important step to understanding how crucial good liver health is. A simple liver scan can help identify your liver score (representing the amount of fat build up) allowing you to make informed decisions about your future.
FibroScan® 15 minutes. Lifelong Benefits.
Stages Of Liver Disease
There are various stages of Liver disease with each stage becoming more serious. Some stages are reversible if detected early enough.
FibroScan Scoring
The FibroScan is able to detect the amount of fatty tissue build up in the Liver to show how healthy it is. So early detection of any issues allows for appropriate intervention to bring it back to an optimal healthy state.
You can see from the report above and compared to the FibroScan chart this individuals CAP score of 242 means they have a healthy Liver in the Green zone at S0 with 0-10% fat. Their stiffness score of 4.1 puts their liver stiffness in the green healthy zone.
How To Reverse Fatty Liver Disease
To reverse or avoid fatty liver disease altogether relies heavily on adopting the right lifestyle, diet and supplements. Exercising regularly will help you lose fat which can result in a fatty liver. However, probably the most crucial aspect will be what you eat and drink.
Diet changes to help reverse fatty liver disease
As the old saying goes, “You are what you eat”. In order to ensure our liver stays healthy and reverses fatty liver disease, we must avoid harmful foods and excessive alcohol consumption.
So, here are a few foods you should include and remove from your fatty liver diet plan:
Foods to include in your fatty liver diet plan:
· Fruit
· Green vegetables
· Coffee (lowers abnormal liver enzymes)
· Beans and soy
· Fish
· Oatmeal
· Nuts
· Turmeric
· Sunflower seeds
· Garlic
Foods to avoid in your fatty liver diet plan
· Alcohol
· Added sugar
· Fried foods
· Added salt
· White bread, rice and pasta
· Red meat
