Aarón Álvarez

In his 40s, Álvarez was diagnosed with fatty liver disease. Genetics can play a role, and he later learned that his mother had the same condition. "Navigating this journey has deepened my understanding of resilience and the importance of health," he says. He spreads awareness of the serious liver damage that has deeply affected his life. Originally from Nicaragua, his passions lie in film, theater, and music.
