Fatty Liver Disease Explained: The New Names (MASLD & MASH) and What They Mean for Your Metabolic Health

Fatty liver disease has a new name — actually, two.

In this episode, we explain the shift from NAFLD to MASLD and MASH, what these updated terms mean, and why the change reflects a deeper understanding of metabolic dysfunction.

You’ll learn:

• Why NAFLD was renamed MASLD
• The difference between MASLD and MASH
• How insulin resistance drives fatty liver disease
• Why you do not have to drink alcohol or be obese to develop fatty liver
• The connection between triglycerides, cholesterol, and liver health
• How fatty liver impacts hormones and long-term cardiovascular risk
• Evidence-based strategies to reverse early liver dysfunction

Fatty liver is not just a liver condition. It is a metabolic condition.

If you have elevated liver enzymes, high triglycerides, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, or central weight gain, this episode will help you understand what is happening beneath the surface and what you can do about it.
