The Fatty Liver Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by one of our long-term customers, Wayne Eskridge. It can be found at https://www.fattyliverfoundation.org. From the website its mission is: “To improve the diagnosis, treatment, & support of Americans with fatty liver, NAFLD or NASH through awareness, education, screening and patient advocacy.”

The chemistry of fat metabolism in the liver is complex but Wayne breaks it down in easy to understand terms. In his explanation he also illustrates why extra virgin olive oil actually helps restore a fatty liver to health.

Wayne started the foundation after a difficult 10 year ordeal, dealing with his liver disease. During this period he gained a wealth of experience and knowledge. He is dedicated to sharing that experience with as many people as possible so they can avoid going through the same difficulties. Liver disease is a metabolic disorder that can develop over 20 years with no symptoms. It is estimated that 1 in 4 Americans may have a fatty liver and yet not know it. That’s why Wayne is developing a nationwide program to inform people about an inexpensive, non-invasive FibroScan screening for fatty liver.

We appreciate all that Wayne is doing and in the coming months we will offer more information about his foundation, the connection to high quality olive oil, and the practical actions that can be taken to address the prevalence of fatty liver disease in the US.
