Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel treats NAFLD as reversible metabolic dysfunction, NOT permanent liver disease. Root cause is insulin resistance and fructose metabolism. Protocol: 1) Reverse insulin resistance (therapeutic carb restriction, eliminate fructose), 2) Weight loss if overweight (5-10% loss reverses NAFLD), 3) Liver-supportive nutrients and herbs, 4) Reduce oxidative stress, 5) Heal gut, 6) Optimize choline, 7) Exercise (reduces liver fat independent of weight loss). NAFLD is COMPLETELY REVERSIBLE with proper intervention—can prevent progression to cirrhosis.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
No FDA-approved medications for NAFLD; Lifestyle advice: 'lose weight, exercise, Mediterranean diet' (often inadequate detail), Metformin (off-label—limited efficacy), Vitamin E 800 IU (recommended by some), Pioglitazone (diabetes drug, off-label—has risks), Liver biopsy to stage disease, Liver transplant (end-stage cirrhosis).
No pharmaceutical treatment available (appropriately—this is dietary disease), lifestyle advice often insufficient ('eat less, move more'—doesn't address insulin resistance or fructose), low-fat dietary advice WORSENS NAFLD (high-carb diet drives liver fat), doesn't emphasize fructose elimination (key), doesn't test for insulin resistance aggressively, pessimistic about reversibility (but NAFLD is highly reversible with proper diet), waits for progression to cirrhosis before aggressive intervention.

Key Lab Markers
Dietary Guidance
Low-carb or ketogenic diet (MOST EFFECTIVE for NAFLD—rapidly reduces liver fat), eliminate ALL added sugar, eliminate fructose (fruit juice, agave, high-fructose corn syrup—worst for liver), limit fruit (whole fruit OK in moderation—berries best), Mediterranean diet (if not keto), increase omega-3 foods, cruciferous vegetables, coffee (protective for liver—2-3 cups/day), green tea, avoid alcohol completely, increase choline foods (eggs, liver, fish), organic.
Lifestyle Factors
Weight loss if overweight (5-10% loss often reverses NAFLD), exercise critical: both aerobic and resistance training reduce liver fat independent of weight loss, quit smoking, avoid hepatotoxic medications (acetaminophen, NSAIDs chronically), improve sleep (poor sleep worsens insulin resistance), stress management, avoid fructose.
