The liver is the seat of our overall health and wellness, and the health of nearly every organ is intimately connected with our liver. A healthy liver is essential to a fully functioning body, but our modern sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits can truly damage the liver - and damage our health overall.

A silent health crisis is impacting one third of the American population - nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Because its symptoms often don't manifest until the liver is seriously compromised, many people are not aware that they are at risk. Did you know that if you have fatty liver disease, you are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (heart attack and stroke) and potentially several devastating conditions such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer? Did you know that fat is as dangerous as alcohol to the liver?

Award-winning dietitian Kristin Kirkpatrick and hepatologist Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh have teamed up for a life-changing program that will help you achieve optimal health. Skinny Liver's four-week program shares the steps you can take to get your liver health back on track, with everything from exercise to healthy eating and other lifestyle changes - along with delicious liver-friendly recipes. Written by two experts in the field and based on the latest research, Skinny Liver is an authoritative, easy-to-follow guide to health and wellness, not just for your most essential organ but for your whole body.

"CPR" for Sick Liver. Grateful.

Developed understanding of liver function and the serious, if not deadly, conditions a poorly functioning liver causes. Better yet what to do to help the liver regenerate. It is the only organ that regenerates if given the care and time to do so.

Good info. Very repetitive.

I chose this one over some of the others because it looked like it was written from more of a professional/doctor’s perspective. And indeed, the information was very good, however could’ve been shortened by 75%

good intro to liver

A great introductory primer for someone recently diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (on my birthday of all days 😑) and perhaps worse. She starts off by explaining the liver and its importance before detailing the primary solution: diet and exercise. Obviously more time is spent on the diet portion, and I found this very helpful as someone who never paid much attention to what I ate until now.

Very helpful to understand liver disease

I have liver disease and this helped me understand much more than the hepatologist told me

This is the book I've been waiting for!

I wanted to share a thought about this book. I've read quite a few books on the subject of alcohol abuse, probably around fifty or so over time. While each offered its own perspective and insights, there was something particularly impactful about this latest one. It truly resonated with me in a way the others hadn't.

It's difficult to articulate exactly why this book was different, but it connected with my personal experiences and understanding in a way that the others hadn't. I've found myself reflecting on its contents quite a bit since finishing it.

I wanted to share this in case you or someone you know might be looking for a book that offers a fresh or particularly relatable perspective on this topic. Since reading it, I've had no desire for alcohol, and I feel empowered to achieve all my goals.
