Your liver does more than you think—it’s the key to metabolic health. We help you protect both for a healthier future.

Your liver and metabolism are closely linked, working together to keep your body healthy. When metabolic health declines, your liver often bears the burden without showing clear symptoms.


Obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol put extra strain on your liver, increasing the risk of fatty liver disease. Left untreated, this can progress into serious complications.


Whether you’ve been diagnosed with fatty liver, have health conditions that raise your risk, or simply want to take charge of your metabolic wellness, our team is ready to provide the care and guidance you need—at no cost to you.

Understanding Your Metabolic Health

Stronger metabolism and a healthy liver means a better life for you.

Metabolic disorders are on the rise.

The rates of diabetes, obesity, and hypertension have increased in the past few decades. Lifestyle, diet, and environmental factors are fueling a nationwide health crisis with our metabolisms at the center.

Your liver feels the impact.

When your metabolism struggles, your liver suffers. Poor metabolic health can lead to excess fat in the liver, raising the risk of fatty liver disease. Left unchecked, this can progress into serious complications.

It's time to take action.

The good news? Metabolic conditions and fatty liver disease can often be managed—or even reversed—with the right care. By addressing metabolic health early, you can protect your liver and overall wellness.

Could your metabolic health be affecting your liver?

Metabolic conditions can lead to fatty liver disease, but early care makes a difference. Check if common health conditions are putting you at a higher risk.
Diabetes

People with diabetes often have high blood sugar, leading to fat buildup in the liver. Over time, this can cause inflammation and increase the risk of fatty liver disease.

Diabetes

People with diabetes often have high blood sugar, leading to fat buildup in the liver. Over time, this can cause inflammation and increase the risk of fatty liver disease.

Obesity

Excess abdominal fat overloads the liver, making it harder to process fats efficiently and raises the risk of fatty liver disease.

Hypertension

High blood pressure strains the liver, disrupting blood flow and promoting fat buildup.

High Cholesterol

High cholesterol causes fat buildup in the liver, reducing function and raising the risk of more serious conditions.

PCOS

PCOS is a hormonal disorder that can lead to insulin resistance, increasing fat storage in the liver.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is liver disease diagnosed?

Liver disease is diagnosed through blood tests, imaging (like ultrasound or FibroScan), and sometimes a liver biopsy. These tests check for liver fat, inflammation, and scarring, helping detect conditions like MASLD (a buildup of fat in the liver) and MASH (a more serious form of liver damage). Catching it early can help prevent complications.

What is MASLD and MASH?

MASLD (Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease) is a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver, often linked to factors such as obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
MASH (Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis) is a more serious form of MASLD, where the fat causes severe inflammation and liver damage. If left untreated, it can lead to scarring, cirrhosis, or liver failure.

What are the symptoms of MASH?

MASH often has no symptoms in the early stages, which is why many people don’t realize they have it. As the disease progresses, some may experience:
• Fatigue or feeling unusually tired
• Discomfort or pain in the upper right abdomen
• Unexplained weight loss
• Weakness

Can liver disease be reversed?

In many cases, yes — early-stage liver disease can be slowed, stopped, or even reversed with lifestyle changes. Eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, managing weight, and controlling conditions like diabetes can help the liver heal.
Clinical trials may offer emerging treatments that could help. At Covenant, we’re here to support you with expert care and the latest therapies to guide your recovery.

Why is liver health important?

Liver health is crucial because the liver plays a vital role in your overall well-being. It helps:
• Filter toxins from your blood, keeping your body clean
• Produce bile, which is necessary for digestion and fat absorption
• Store energy and nutrients to fuel your body
• Regulate metabolism, including how your body processes fats, proteins, and carbohydrates
The liver is your body’s powerhouse. Maintaining liver health is essential for a balanced, healthy life.

What are common health conditions associated with MASLD and MASH?

Common health conditions that often occur alongside MASLD and MASH include:
• Obesity
• Type 2 diabetes
• Hypertension
• High cholesterol
• Cardiovascular disease
• Chronic kidney disease
Having regular checkups and lifestyle changes are important for managing your liver health and overall well-being.
