Speaker:  Kenneth Proefrock. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease affects an estimated 8 to 10 million people in the US. It occurs in every age group, but especially in people in their 40s and 50s who are at high risk of heart disease because of such factors as obesity and type 2 diabetes. These conditions are also closely linked to metabolic syndrome, which is a cluster of abnormalities including increased abdominal fat, poor ability to use the hormone insulin, high blood pressure and high blood levels of triglycerides. Discover how alternative medicine offers a number of treatment possibilities through lifestyle modification, specific exercise, nutritional adjustments and botanical medicine interventions.  Catalog Number 19ME06
