This week, SurfingNASH.com is offering a 17-minute section of our new series, “The NASH Tsunami in Diabetes; Getting Ahead of the Rising Tide.” Rising Tide, as we call it, is a subscription-only series targeted at the primary care physicians, endocrinologists and allied health professionals who provide front-line treatments for patients living with Type 2 Diabetes and/or obesity.

This conversation is an opportunity for NASH Tsunami listeners to learn about the series and why to subscribe by listening to this 17-minute segment of a previously unpublished episode from October, 2022, that is as timely today as when it was recorded.

The full episode follows the experience of Fatty Liver Alliance Founder and President Michael Betel when he submitted to extensive non-invasive diagnostic testing to determine his own Fatty Liver status. Mike’s experience, which he recorded for educational purposes and posted on Facebook, was a somewhat confusing experience due to inconsistencies in the results of various tests. In the episode, Rising Tide co-host Dr. Kenneth Cusi and episode guest (and NASH Tsunami co-host) Professor Jörn Schattenberg join Mike and co-host Roger Green to review Mike’s test results and recommend courses of action for Mike to take. In this process, the group also discusses the Fatty Liver guidelines from AASLD, AACE, AGA and others and the pivotal role that front-line screening plays in these guidelines.
This segment of the episode shares Mike’s story and some of the feedback he received from Ken, Jörn and Roger. At the end of the episode, Roger provides guidance on how listeners can subscribe to the Rising Tide series.
