This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial compares two approaches for treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition where fat builds up in your liver. Half of participants will receive standard care with basic lifestyle advice from doctors. The other half will work with professional counselors trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to help them make lasting changes to eating habits and lifestyle.
Currently, there is no approved medication for fatty liver disease, and doctors mostly recommend weight loss and lifestyle changes. However, there hasn't been a rigorous long-term study to see how well professional, personalized lifestyle counseling actually works compared to standard care.

You will be randomly assigned to either standard care or professional lifestyle counseling. If assigned to counseling, you'll work with trained professionals who will help you change eating habits and daily routines using cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. All participants will have regular visits over one year, and the study will track changes in your liver health through non-invasive tests and blood work.
