Fatty Liver Disease is a HUGE health phenomenon and prevalence continues to grow worldwide.
Did you know that approximately 25% of adults in the US have NAFLD?
As registered dietitians, we are cornerstone in helping those with NAFLD – but the messages seem to be mixed.
Some clients have been told it’s ‘no big deal’, while others are incredibly scared and overwhelmed with diet and lifestyle advice from their specialist or the internet.
The world of NAFLD management is confusing, especially for patients. There are so many different approaches that can be taken with this particular health condition – but which is the best?
In this 2 hour workshop, we will:
- Review up-to-date evidence on the various nutrition interventions, including low carb diets
- Have a deeper discussion on the practicalities of weight management in NAFLD - where does weight inclusive practice fit?
- Discuss other lifestyle changes to support your patients
- Deep dive into common OTC supplements that your patients are going to ask you about
- Review common meds and medical interventions that your patients might be considering or already taking (like GLP-1 analogs, bariatric surgery, etc.)
- 2 case studies
- Q+A
- Plus, a list of references to dive deeper into the webinar content and a practice algorithm, to provide your own patients with advice you feel confident in.
Join us April 9th at 12 pm MST/2 pm EST! A replay will be available afterward for those who can’t attend live.
Example Curriculum
We ALL see NAFLD patients. But do we all feel like we're up-to-date?
We created this workshop because so many RDs were asking in one-on-one supervision - what IS the latest evidence?
Similar to doctors prescribing the low FODMAP diet without support, we are seeing doctors prescribe low carb & hypocaloric diets without support.
While the intention is good, we KNOW dietary advice without proper counselling can not only flop, it can be harmful.
Get up-to-date on the evidence so you can best support your patients, no matter what diet they choose!
Here's what to expect in our 2 hour workshop:
- Overview of NAFLD (symptoms, pathophysiology, diagnosis)
- The Role of Nutrition and Diet in NAFLD management
- Specific diets – hypocaloric diets, Mediterranean-style diets, Low Carbohydrate diets
- Additional dietary components of interest

How practical is this, really?
While we will dive into the evidence, our webinars focus on what we see in practice - with our case studies we will show you how you can apply what you've learned, in a practical way. We will also really hone in on risk/benefit on an individual scale in this webinar as its not often talked about in RCT's - what *actually* makes sense for our patients?
