Tips for making MASLD lifestyle changes

Making lifestyle changes can be hard. But even small positive changes can make a difference to your health. Here are some tips to help you make the changes necessary to successfully manage MASLD:

  • See your healthcare team regularly. Care team members can help shape your self-care program and work with you to track your progress. They also can connect you with helpful resources, such as appointments with a dietitian or behavioral therapist.
  • Seek out support groups. You can find MASLD support groups online, at your healthcare institution or through organizations such as the American Liver Foundation.
  • Use technology. Download mobile apps that help track your weight, activity and goals. These tools can help you lose weight, eat a healthier diet and improve liver health.
  • Set manageable goals. Work with your healthcare team to set lifestyle goals you can achieve. For instance, you might set a goal to take a walk at least five days a week. Make sure to celebrate your successes and increase your goals as time goes on.
