NAFLD/MASLD and NASH/MASH Blog

---

Kerry Sivia, the vibrant 38-year-old blogger for Fatty Liver Alliance, possesses a story of determination and resilience. At 36, Kerry faced a harrowing diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cirrhosis of the liver, despite having no family history of liver disease. Weighing 310 pounds at the time, she embarked on a transformative journey of weight loss, managing to shed 100 pounds and halt the progression of her cirrhosis. Beyond her personal triumphs, Kerry serves as a beacon of inspiration, using her platform to raise awareness about the importance of early fatty liver disease detection and the transformative power of lifestyle changes. Now a passionate advocate for healthy living, Kerry channels her experiences into her new Instagram blog and continues to thrive as an administrative assistant.
