so in this video we’re going to talk about why  you should always use a probiotic for any type of liver problem that includes a fatty liver  a liver that has inflammation as in hepatitis or an advanced liver problem where you have  cirrhosis which is scar tissue of the liver and by the way one real simple way to know if  you have a fatty liver is just to look down and see if you can see your feet because  what happens if your belly is sticking out you have a fatty liver and an ultrasound will  also pick it up very easily so the question is why would a friendly bacteria in your colon help your  liver since they’re in two different locations well probiotics prevent something called  bacterial translocation let me kind of define that when there’s liver damage the bacteria in  your colon which is the large intestine have the ability to migrate or travel beyond the  wall of your colon into your lymphatic system so the bacteria are translocating in a different  place once this bacteria gets into the lymphatic system that’s where you have all sorts of immune  reactions and you’re triggering cytokines in a big way so you’re going to get inflammation you’re  also going to increase something called endotoxins which is kind of a byproduct of bacteria and  you’re going to increase tnf alpha which are basically cytokines that create inflammation  fatigue and other symptoms now the other cool thing about probiotics is it reduces ammonia one  of the side effects of advanced liver problems is an excessive amount of ammonia that’s in  your blood that travels into the brain and ammonia is a neurotoxin so it not only affects  your mood but your memory your focus it can even get so bad where actually you can go into a coma  taking a probiotic which is a friendly bacteria will actually reduce the unfriendly bacteria that  are making excessive amounts of ammonia so taking probiotics or getting probiotics from your food  kombucha tea sauerkraut kimchi even kefir make sure it’s not sweetened make sure it’s plain can  significantly reduce symptoms associated with liver disease as well as slow down fibrosis and  reduce ammonia so in summary i just wanted to kind of bring your awareness on a real simple solution  to a lot of the symptoms and collateral damage that occurs when you have liver damage and if  you’re new to my channel and you don’t know what to eat i put a link down below so you can get more  data on that before you go if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want  to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the people in the US hopefully in  the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call but i put the number down below so  you can call and get some help you
