There is a cure for NASH, though not a popular one: a strict vegan diet. I know because I had NASH, and cured it this way. I was lucky; I saw my liver numbers going bad, insisted on follow-up, and had support to follow the diet for two years (and still mostly eat vegan or vegetarian). My numbers are fine now, but I still watch my blood work results carefully. Fortunately, livers heal!
That's the thing--"diet," among other treatments like bariatric surgery or an exercise regimen, is all that we have right now for NASH. The goal is to reduce overall fat and thus also liver fat. This doesn't work for everyone, though it does work for some folks; and I'm glad that it is working for you!
That said, I don't want to comment too much on NASH therapies. I try to keep my day job and this newsletter as separate as possible. When it comes to the NASH therapy space, I very much have a conflict of interests.

By complete accident, my email to you this morning looks like a reaction to this column.
