There is nothing more powerful than sharing your story with others, whether with your own family or with the whole country. You’d be surprised how much impact simple actions can have.

Connecting to others with liver disease is so crucial. It is easy to get caught in a cycle of malnutrition, fatigue, isolation, depression, pain, and on it goes. By reaching out to others, and their caregivers, I aspire to inspire connections from around the globe.

As a professional I’ve worked with hundred of people with NASH and detected some others. I know this disease is not known enough by people and by health professionals, even physicians. My duty is to identify those in risk of developing NASH and NAFLD.
