CLASS OVERVIEW
Why Conventional Fatty Liver Management Fails (And What Actually Works)
Most practitioners treat fatty liver in isolation. They focus on weight loss. They recommend a "liver cleanse." They prescribe GLP-1 agonists and hope for the best.
But here's what they're missing: Fatty liver isn't primarily a liver problem. It's a metabolic problem manifesting in the liver. When you treat only the liver, you're treating the symptom, not the disease.
That's why many patients don't improve. That's why some progress silently toward fibrosis and cirrhosis even when they're "compliant" with diet and supplements.
This master class teaches you the underlying mechanisms and approaches.

That's why many patients don't improve. That's why some progress silently toward fibrosis and cirrhosis even when they're "compliant" with diet and supplements.
This master class teaches you the underlying mechanisms and approaches.
- You'll identify the seven unified driving pathophysiologies that cause fatty liver.
- You'll use non-invasive assessment to track real progress (not just ultrasounds that say "still fatty").
- You'll implement evidence-based protocols that reverse disease rather than manage decline.
This is what separates practitioners who reverse fatty liver from those who watch patients progress to cirrhosis.
Why Your Best Protocols Aren't Reversing Fatty Liver (And What You're Missing)
You put patients on Mediterranean diets. You optimize supplements. You recommend exercise. Some improve. Many don't.
The frustration is real: You're doing everything "right" by conventional standards, yet patients plateau or progress silently toward fibrosis.
Here's why: Most practitioners treat fatty liver in isolation. They focus on weight loss. They blame overeating. They miss the seven unified metabolic imbalances actually driving the disease.
Without addressing underlying mechanisms systematically, you're treating the symptom, not the disease. That's why patients don't fully recover—and why some progress to cirrhosis despite your best efforts.
The practitioners getting real reversals? They 1) identify the specific metabolic dysfunction in each patient, 2) assess fibrosis progression objectively, and 3) implement precision protocols matched to root causes—not guesses.
This Master Class teaches you exactly how.

Did You Know...
Did You Know...
Within 10-20 years, fatty liver disease is predicted to surpass hepatitis C and alcoholic liver disease as the leading cause of liver transplantation.
Fatty liver is asymptomatic until advanced fibrosis develops. Most practitioners don't screen until liver enzymes are significantly elevated.
The fibrosis triad most doctors miss: elevated uric acid, elevated GGT, and elevated ALT. Yet it appears in lab work every day.
SIBO and fatty liver are connected through the gut-liver axis. Treat dysbiosis without addressing the liver—or vice versa—and patients won't fully recover.
Gallbladder removal significantly increases the risk of liver disease and cirrhosis. Yet most practitioners miss years of preventable progression.
Taking d-alpha-tocopherol in isolation displaces the other 7 forms of vitamin E. Yet most liver support supplements miss the full spectrum needed for reversal.
Why Dr. Yousef Elyaman Spent Three Years Obsessed With Fatty Liver Root Causes—and What You Can Learn from Him
This Master Class distills three years of obsessive research into a systematic approach that identifies root causes and reverses fatty liver disease. Dr. Elyaman draws from his high-volume practice with eight providers and integrated lab—a living laboratory of what actually works with thousands of patients.
You'll learn the seven unified driving pathophysiologies most doctors miss, master non-invasive fibrosis assessment, and implement evidence-based protocols for disease reversal. This isn't theory. It's what transforms patients in real practice.
Dr. Elyaman's core message: Fatty liver disease is preventable and reversible, but only if you know the underlying mechanisms and address them systematically.

COURSE FEATURES
What's Inside the Master Class
1
The 7 Unified Driving Pathophysiologies
Most doctors blame obesity. In reality, seven metabolic imbalances drive fatty liver.
2
The Complete Diagnostic Workup
Know which labs to order, how to interpret them functionally, when to order FibroScan, and red flags for dangerous misdiagnoses.
3
Personalized Management Protocols
Specific dietary fats, macronutrient ratios, supplementation, and exercise protocols support the reversal of fatty liver.
4
The Complete Case Study
Follow a real patient through the reversal of liver disease. See exact labs and learn what moved the needle.
5
Advanced Fibrosis Assessment
Use FibroScan non-invasively instead of liver biopsy. Understand CAP scores and fibrosis staging. Access FibroScans through research centers (many free). Track progress objectively with real numbers.
6
Downloadable Resources and Tools
Learn non-invasive ways to assess and track liver health progress objectively with real numbers.
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Yousef Elyaman, MD, IFMCP
Dr. Yousef Elyaman is the owner and medical director of Absolute Health, a high-volume functional medicine practice. He is the lead educator for the FMP Essentials teaching platform, a teaching faculty member with the Institute for Functional Medicine, and the medical director of Human, the nutraceutical company behind Neo 40 Professional, Golino, Kali Calyx, and Berberine Complex. He is also a consultant with Request Diagnostic Laboratories' wellness division.
For the past three years, Dr. Elyaman has been obsessed with digging into the root cause of fatty liver disease. Through his high-volume practice with eight providers and an integrated lab, he has developed a systematic, evidence-based approach to identifying root causes and reversing disease. He brings both clinical depth and practical application to functional medicine education.
