Imagine scratching your arms, the itch lingering like an uninvited guest. For Emily, 48, this was her body’s cry for help, later tied to fatty liver.

Ever walk into a room and forget why? Brain fog—trouble focusing or feeling mentally sluggish—hit Karen, 46, hard. She chalked it up to stress, but her doctor linked it to fatty liver.

Solutions to Take Charge of Your Health
You’re probably thinking, “This sounds serious—where do I start?” The good news? Small, safe steps can make a difference.
