The study evaluates the use of this behavioral therapy and its effect on clinical measures such as percent liver fat as measured by MRI-PDFF, and Fibroscan Controlled Attenuation Parameter score, liver stiffness as measured by Fibroscan Vibration Controlled Transient Elastography in kPA, body weight and ALT. Participants in this feasibility study will have access to the treatment for 3- months.
