let’s talk about the best foods to clean out your liver or shall we say just make the liver cleaner because many of us don’t realize that the liver is not like a sponge that holds toxins it’s a organ that detoxifies it removes toxins unless you have a fatty liver so three different problems with the liver you can have a fatty liver you can have an inflamed liver or a combination and then that inflammation creates uh scar tissue and then you can develop therosis so the question is like what type of foods could you eat to make the liver healthier and cleaner let me just first briefly touch on what the liver does I’m not going to go through all 500 functions but it does um a lot it actually turns ammonia into Ura so if there’s a problem with the liver you get this backup of ammonia and you can even actually smell it on someone’s breath sometimes when you go to like a nursing home it smells like ammonia that is what’s happening liver damage it’s backing up it can go on the brain and create a lot of toxicity so that’s one thing it does it helps detoxify ammonia which comes from certain protein metabolism breakdown then we get the next one the buffering of hormones there’s certain things in the liver that help buffer hormones if so if they’re too much or they’re too little uh the body will regulate the amount of active form of a certain hormone um based on the needs especially estrogen cortisol and even testosterone so for example if you have therosis of the liver you can get a massive buildup of estrogen and if you’re male and you’re older and you have therosis of the liver your skin becomes very very smooth you lose body hair you might get manoobs creating all sorts of estrogenic effects your cortisol can go up you can be stressed because there’s something in your liver that helps buffer cortisol and because estrogen goes higher you become lower with testosterone so there goes your muscles there goes your get up and go there goes your libido okay T4 that is the inactive form of the thyroid hormone did you realize that 80% of the activation of the thyroid hormone into this active T3 happens through your liver so it goes from T4 to T3 so we need a healthy liver to make that conversion if that doesn’t happen you start developing hypothyroidism growth hormone which is the anti-aging hormone it has everything to do with uh proteins building proteins helping you sleep at night longevity uh that hormone works through the liver as well and there’s kind of like an extension of growth hormone it’s called igf1 which does uh similar functions if not identical functions to the growth hormone so if there’s a problem with the liver growth hormone doesn’t seem to work that well then we have vitamin D vitamin D is activated by the liver and the kidney so without a good uh liver function you don’t get the benefit of the active form of vitamin D and even when they check the blood they always check the inactive form they don’t check the active form of vitamin D they’re checking the inactive form assuming that it’s being converted but what if the liver and the kidneys are damaged okay you’re not going to be able to get a true picture of what’s going on with vitamin D if you’re just measuring the inactive form of vitamin D but one of the main functions of the liver is to detoxify toxins and poisons to harmless water soluble particles so whether that’s pesticides insecticides herbicides heavy metals or even toxins from cigarettes or alcohol or processed foods your body tends to break that down if this liver function doesn’t work you get a backup of toxicity there’s also a function of producing bile to help you extract the fat salable nutrients from the food including omega-3 vitamin A d e and K so with this you’re going to have all sorts of problems with nutrients and U being able to create an anti-inflammatory effect because the omega-3 just can’t go into the body it can’t work next one is glycogen that’s stored glucose in your liver so the liver holds glycogen to allow you to run off that fuel between meals and so let’s say for example your liver is fatty or it’s dysfunctional you have therosis and you can’t run off glycogen between meals you’re going to have issues with your brain because your brain doesn’t store glycogen it depends on the liver glycogen or whatever you ate for its fuel unless you’re on the ketogenic diet in which you’re going to live off the ketones that are going to generated but a lot of these ketones are generated from the liver so again we’re going to have a problem with fuel if the liver is damaged especially for your brain and other cells immune function until recently I did not know of the magnitude of how important the Li is for your immune system you have specialized immune cells in the liver you have a lot of different uh lymphatic sinuses in the liver that help you from all sorts of different angles for your immune system and so the more we lose the liver function the more we lose the immune function there are some really key things you want to avoid first because you can eat a lot of healthy foods but if you’re eating these at the same time uh the liver is just not going to work that well and I’m not going to get into the obvious stuff like alcohol like regular sugar things like that I want to get into some hidden things that you need to be aware of number one soy protein isets okay that’s in a lot of different foods now if you do research on this probably the first five pages in Google you’ll see that it’s all healthy for the liver it’s totally fine I don’t buy that because I’ve had people when I was in practice come in and be on a certain diet for a bit of time and in that diet it was a weight loss diet and one of the diets was called Ideal Protein there’s many others but there are a lot of weight loss programs that have this as their main protein it’s low fat highly refined uh protein in soy and the way they process it there’s nothing that’s going to resemble the actual soybean itself so anyway here’s what I’ve noticed after someone being on this diet being exposed to soy protein isolates for a period of time I noticed that a common denominator is their liver they have a lot of liver issues like gall issues right lower abdomen heaviness and pain and some people had to go to the doctor and have their Gall blers removed so I can’t buy that something that process could be good for the liver because the liver uh thrives on things that are like Whole Foods not refined Foods so I would read the ingredients and avoid soy protein isolet soy protein meal might be good for Animals especially if they take out the uh the fats out of it so doesn’t turn rancid but for humans I don’t think it’s the best protein the next thing is seed oils highly processed and it’s process with hexane which is a solvent but that exposure of this highly uh refined fat omega-6 fatty acid yes we have oxidative stress we have inflammation but I think also it’s replacing our cells it’s going deep into the tissue it’s not a natural thing but we consume so much of it all right the next food I would definitely avoid and you you probably already know this high fructose corn syrup but what you probably didn’t know they’re not starting out making this high fructose corn syrup with this you know sweet corn that people eat during the summer right they don’t start out with that they use what’s called Dent corn or field corn it’s completely inedible I don’t care how much butter you put on that corn or you add salt it’s disgusting and the majority of corn grown is this field corn to fatten cattle right to make the meat marbly what is it doing to us and they also use it for high fructose corn syrup and glucose syrup and the modified starches and so they start with this inedible corn okay and they go through probably like 18 different steps I don’t know the exact number but it’s a lot of d
