The Best Diet for Fatty Liver

About this episode

Fatty liver is becoming one of the most common liver health concerns worldwide — but here is the good news: diet and lifestyle changes can make a meaningful difference, and they do not have to be complicated.

In this episode, Dr. Kash Gupta cuts through the noise of conflicting dietary advice and explains the best diet for fatty liver — what foods to eat, what to avoid, and how your daily food choices can directly support better liver health.

Dr. Kash walks through the evidence behind the most talked-about approaches — from the Mediterranean and Green Mediterranean diets to low-carb, ketogenic, and intermittent fasting strategies — and explains what the research actually shows for people with MASLD and NAFLD. He also covers the non-negotiables every patient needs to know, regardless of which dietary approach they choose.
