S1 E4, P1: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) - project


Listen Later

In the first part of this episode, Will talks about investigating nonalcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) with Tania Mitsinikos, MD, who at the time, was a clinical fellow with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in the Department of Gastroenterology.  Currently, Dr. Mitsinikos is an attending physician is Director of the Fatty Liver Clinic.  In this study, Will and Tania wanted to first, test the effect of diet intervention and second, the microbiome associated with those different diets.  Essentially, they were asking these questions:

1) Can different types of diets reverse NAFLD?

2) Can a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) reverse NAFLD?
