What this trial studies

This project investigates the effects of personalized lifestyle counseling versus standard care on patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic syndrome. The study aims to evaluate changes in liver fat content and other health parameters over a one-year period. Participants will receive tailored cognitive behavioral therapy to promote lifestyle modifications, while researchers will also assess factors like gut microbiota that may influence the disease's progression or regression.
