About us
NASH kNOWledge is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation that was established to increase public awareness of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). We collaborate with organizations across the country and globally with similar goals. We are patients and caregivers advocating for other patients and caregivers. The magnitude of NAFLD and NASH cannot be overstated. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases estimates that 100 million Americans have NAFLD and that about 20% of those people have NASH. These diseases are particularly insidious because there are typically no symptoms associated at the onset and the general public is not even aware of the disease. The truly scary part of this is that incidences of NAFLD and NASH continue to grow with no end in sight. Even worse, our future generation is at risk with nearly 10% of kids having a fatty liver mainly due to increased consumption of sugar and processed foods. Media coverage of this problem has become more commonplace but it is still relatively unknown to most of our population. NASH kNOWledge is focused on raising more awareness through public speaking engagements, information booths at events, infographics, animated videos and our documentary, "Silent Epidemic: the liver disease NASH."

Spreading a little peace, love & kindness in all I do ~ passionate about helping others and building community
We recently launched a longer online follow-up survey to people who complete our short-form survey at events. While it is not yet a huge population who has completed the surveys, the responses we have received so far further confirm the gap in knowledge of the general public and the need for the information our team here at NASH kNOWledge and others provides. There continues to be a misconception that liver disease is always, or most often, caused by alcohol and/or drugs. While this is certainly a huge factor in liver disease, non-alcoholic liver diseases are starting to unfortunately take center stage yet so few people realize that! A few of my favorite free form responses that confirm we are making an impact, even if it is one person at a time! :) "My husband is Hispanic and we now understand that there is a high risk of developing fatty liver disease among Hispanics. We also didn’t know how other important information about how the liver works until talking with NASH." "I was surprised to learn that there are many factors that can cause this disease. I was shocked when we discussed the amounts of sugar in drinks and I honestly always thought that alcohol was the main cause. I was surprised to learn that it is a nonalcoholic disease. I have since spoke with my PCP about liver health." "I've become enthusiastic about liver health and the impact of sugar and processed foods on developing NAFL. I found it fascinating that your booth displayed real food alongside their sugar content represented with table sugar. This is incredibly eye-opening for people who don't have a tangible sense of how much sugar they consume daily." #liverhealth #liverdisease #loveyourliver #fattyliver #fattyliverdisease #NAFLD #MASLD #NASH #MASH #sugar #diet #health #healthylifestyle #cirrhosis #livertransplant #patientadvocacy #patientadvocates #nonprofit #awareness #education

Did you know that people living with HIV are at a greater risk for fatty liver? Well now you do! We love creating quick, easy to digest one-page infographics to help various populations understand the disease as it relates to them and this one is our latest! Our well-respected NASH kNOWledge Board Member Dr. Tony Martinez shared some really interesting research and studies on people living with HIV and fatty liver so we decided a new infographic specific to this population was needed. Let us know what you think and feel free to share! Spanish version coming soon. 🙌 #liverhealth #liverdisease #fattyliver #fattyliverdisease #loveyourliver #metabolichealth #HIV #getscreened #earlydetection #screening #diagnosis #health #awareness #education #infographics #nonprofit

If you were going to be giving a presentation on liver disease (specifically MASLD/NAFLD/MASH/NASH) to a group of Physician Assistant students what would be the top 2-3 points you think are most important to share? I am so used to giving presentations to the general public or audiences who are not educated about the liver so seeking some feedback to help me make sure I am hitting the mark! ;) PS - My presentation is on Monday and no I'm not completely procrastinating, it's mostly done but thought it would help to get some insights from the experts currently in the field! #hepatology #hepatologists #PhysicianAssistants #PAStudents #livereducation #liverhealth #liverdisease #NASH #MASH #NAFLD #MASLD #fattyliver #education

We officially announced the launch of our Liver Health Ambassador program less than a month ago and already have representation in 8 states! Plus, our existing reach in Pennsylvania has now expanded across the state and we have brought on more volunteers and ambassadors here in Pittsburgh. If you or someone you know has an interest in attending local community events or health fairs, want to share more information and materials with clinics or doctors offices, and more we can provide you with all that you need (including event fees, in most cases)! Not everybody is called to start their own nonprofit, but we have found that most people affected by liver disease DO want to help others learn more, provide support and offer hope... so this is a great way to do so! Please share our Liver Health Ambassador form with anyone you know who may want to raise more awareness and provide more education for the good of all! Complete Form Here --> https://lnkd.in/gs6hYiA4 #liverhealth #liverdisease #loveyourliver #awareness #education #community #events #ambassador #healthambassador #patient #caregiver #patientadvocacy #patientadvocates #peoplehelpingpeople #spreadawareness

We've been busy so far this year over here at NASH kNOWledge! I was just updating our 2024 events page in our Strategy Overview and suddenly realized why I've felt so energized and yet exhausted all at the same time as we are just a little over a week into the 2nd quarter of 2024! We are so grateful for every one of these opportunities to elevate the importance of liver health and provide more education and awareness about the liver overall and also fatty liver disease. If you or someone you know wants to raise more awareness and education in your own community through community events, health fairs, etc. we have everything you need and can send you our "Table in a Box" and cover the event fees. The first step is completing our Liver Health Ambassador form. We've already had several people do so covering a few different states!
