Fatty liver disease now affects an estimated one in four adults in the United States, and many people have no idea they have it. Your liver does more than most people realize. It filters your blood, metabolizes nutrients, and plays a central role in your overall health. Fatty liver disease, a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver, has become increasingly common and is often linked to lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, and weight. Many people with fatty liver have no symptoms at all, which is why understanding the condition, and knowing what to do about it, matters.
On Thursday, May 21, join Dr. Michael J. Gilbert, MD, MHCDS, of Monadnock Gastroenterology Associates (MGA), and the Southern New Hampshire (SNH) Weight Management team for a free community health seminar focused on liver health. Dr. Gilbert will walk through how fatty liver develops, what the risks are if it goes unaddressed, and what practical steps can make a real difference. The SNH Weight Management team will join to discuss medical and surgical weight management options available to those who want additional support.
This is an in-person event held at the Bond Wellness Center Conference Room at Monadnock Community Hospital. It is free to attend, open to all community members, and designed to be straightforward and useful, whether you are managing a diagnosis, supporting someone who is, or simply looking to better understand your liver health.

What fatty liver disease is and how it develops
The difference between alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
