i want to talk about the relationship  between liver damage and estrogen in men what is the connection i want to go through  different aspects there are quite a few men out there with liver damage and they don’t  know it and they’re starting to get symptoms of too much estrogen and anytime you build up too  much estrogen you get a decrease in testosterone so gynecomastia breast  tissue is one of the symptoms red palms is another symptom of liver  cirrhosis decreased libido erectile dysfunction and spider naevie okay which is these little red  dots on your skin that have these little tiny like spider veins and they can be random on the abdomen  on your back on your thighs it’s just a symptom that you have too much estrogen you can also start  losing body hair your voice can actually get a little bit higher these are all symptoms that you  have too much estrogen compared to testosterone so we got the liver right here and we have various  things that are triggering either a fatty liver or cirrhosis the thing you need to realize is you  don’t just end up with cirrhosis one day it takes years of development and there are different  stages before you get there you might have inflammation and then a fatty liver and then that  turns into scar tissue and it’s a little bit more more and more and more and some of these symptoms  can develop way before you get actual cirrhosis itself which is more of an end stage scarring  of the liver and when you have scarring of the liver you have all sorts of things like one thing  is called portal hypertension because there’s so much resistance to the liver that the blood the  venous blood coming into the liver is backed up so we’re getting this high level of pressure  and that creates a lot of other complications chronic drinking of alcohol is a very  common cause of this so no more than a six-pack on the weekends for that now  insulin resistance has now been officially recognized as a primary cause of cirrhosis  and i think probably 65 maybe 70 percent of the population has this and they don’t  even know it sometimes because they don’t test it and by the way if you want to get  a test for this it’s called homa ir okay homa-ir it’s a really good test to  determine if you have this right here it’s like a pre-pre-diabetes state  diabetes itself can create this and hepatitis so and there’s other causes as well  but let’s take a look at why estrogen is going up when the liver is damaged first of all you get  impaired detoxification and so the liver is not able to get rid of the buildup of estrogen because  this liver cells are basically dying you don’t have enough of those hepatocytes to deal with this  estrogen overload so that’s one thing right there also because the liver is involved with making  proteins you’ll have altered neurotransmitters in the brain and there’s going to be alteration  in dopamine which is then going to increase prolactin which is a hormone and if you’re a guy  you don’t want a high level of prolactin because that triggers another hormone in your hypothalamus  that eventually triggers other hormones in your pituitary that will shut down your testosterone  levels as well as your production of sperm now there’s also something else in the liver that  helps to buffer excessive amounts of certain hormones it’s called sex hormone binding globulin  and what that will do if it increases is you’ll get less free testosterone as well as increased  estrogen okay so now we have this ratio that’s just completely out of control now if someone  is overweight and they have a lot of extra fat the fat cells can actually make estrogen and  there’s an enzyme called aromatase in your body that can also take that last bit of androgen  that you have that last bit of testosterone and convert that into estrogen so as you can  see there’s a lot of things that can happen if the liver is not doing its job so don’t wait  to get diagnosed as a fatty liver or cirrhosis start cutting down on the alcohol if not get rid  of it completely do things to get rid of insulin resistance i put a link down below if you’re new  to my channel on that and that will help this right here and i also have a video on hepatitis i  put that link down below as well a couple things that can help inhibit this enzyme right here  cruciferous vegetables i would highly recommend start consuming a lot of cruciferous vegetables  milk thistle is probably one of the best herbs to strengthen the liver cells themselves and stinging  nettle root is another powerful inhibitor of this enzyme right here so that way we can start to turn  things around and increase your testosterone as you decrease your estrogen hey before you go real  quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course i want  you to take it and here’s why here’s you here is your environment everyone is focused on  this over here avoiding your environment but what about here what about
