About This Episode
Over the past two weeks, we have discussed the idea that diagnostic development in Fatty Liver Disease are progressing faster than medication.
This episode looks at the issue of non-pharmacologic therapy from two points of view.
First, Donna Cryer joins the Surfers to consider the role identity and self-definition play in the patient’s ability to integrate healthy diet and exercise habits into lifestyle.
After this, our sponsors from Echosens are joined with their collaborators from Chronwell and ModifyHealth to present LIVErHEALTHY, a multifactorial program that combines non-invasive testing, technology-assisted behavioral support, nutritional counseling and delivery of healthy meals.
LIVErHEALTHY will support patients seeking a healthier lifestyle to help them address fatty liver and related metabolic conditions like obesity and diabetes.
Mazen Noureddin joins Donna and Roger to ask questions about this innovative pilot program.
There is much to ponder and learn in this session.
