(Washington. D.C., Thursday, June 10, 2021)—Global Liver Institute (GLI), the worldwide leader in liver health advocacy, is pleased to announce a partnership with NutriStyle Inc. to offer NutriStyle’s personalized nutrition app to people living with liver disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions or who want to maintain good liver health.
Diet has a tremendous effect on overall health. Eating healthier, more nutritious foods can help people with chronic conditions such as fatty liver disease or its more advanced form, NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis). One in four people worldwide have some form of fatty liver disease, with millions worldwide living with NASH. One U.S. study found that Hispanics and patients with diabetes are at greatest risk for both fatty liver disease and NASH. A nutritious diet can help prevent liver disease and diabetes, its close associate.
The NutriStyle app will create personalized meal plans to meet the specific requirements set out by GLI nutritional advisors for people with NASH or general interest in liver health.
“The number one question we get from our patients and families with NASH and other liver conditions is, ‘What should I eat?’ GLI is an organization built to identify and solve patient problems, so finding a partner like NutriStyle whose innovative platform has the functionality and flexibility to best meet the needs of those we serve was essential,” said Donna Cryer, J.D., GLI president and CEO. “The ability to create specific meal plans for people, even those with concurrent diseases or seemingly conflicting diet plans, taking into account evidence-based nutritional recommendations and standards, as well as allowing individuals to make substitutions based on personal and cultural preferences, is unique.”
The GLI version of the platform is being officially launched in conjunction with International NASH Day today and the day’s culinary event featuring Chef Daniel Thomas. GLI will continue to offer the platform on an ongoing basis to interested patients with NASH, diabetes, and other health conditions and key partners, recognizing that preventing liver disease, reversing early stage disease, and complementing medical interventions are needed every day, not just on International NASH Day.
Todd Albro, CEO of NutriStyle, said, “We are thrilled to be launching the platform with GLI and its partners. We believe in GLI’s mission, and we’re confident people who consistently utilize the NutriStyle platform to eat healthier will improve their overall health.”
