Story at-a-glance
- Most people with liver damage have no symptoms and receive a diagnosis only after irreversible scarring has occurred, making early detection and lifestyle changes essential
- Standard blood tests often miss early-stage liver fibrosis, even when enzyme levels are "normal," delaying diagnosis until complications like cirrhosis or liver cancer appear
- The real threat isn’t liver fat, but fibrosis — scar tissue that silently builds up from insulin resistance, inflammation, toxic fats like vegetable oils and alcohol
- Choline is a key nutrient that helps your liver move fat out before it causes damage; pastured egg yolks are the best source, but many people don’t get enough from food alone
- Removing vegetable oils and alcohol, eating choline-rich foods, trimming belly fat, and moving daily help reduce liver stress and reverse fibrosis before it's too late
