so what would be the perfect meal to help you detoxify your liver that’s what we’re going to talk about today the first thing I want to mention is that going through a detox is not the same as a cleanse there’s all these cleanses out there that say like a 14 day cleanse clean out your liver right well don’t waste your money going on a cleanse with cayenne pepper and lemon juice with maple syrup for for even a week or two is not going to help you clean your liver all these expensive little kits with these powdered herbs and things that you can take to cleanse your liver are not going to in any significant way clean your liver and I’m going to explain why you have some powerful amazing thing that happens in that cell they go through like this assembly line of enzymatic changes okay got phase one in phase two and then phase three is just the full elimination of that Toxin and when I talk about toxins I’m talking about drugs medication preservatives xenobiotics which are all the chemicals that are external to the body and foreign to the body like you have Plastics you have petroleum products you have also mold and fungus and pesticides insecticides herbicides fungicides you have metabolic waste like hydrogen peroxide you have toxins from smoking I think there’s over six or seven thousand different chemicals okay with about I think 74 to a hundred uh carcinogens then you have chemicals in vaping you have caffeine heavy metals I’m not sure if I mentioned that cleaning chemicals alcohol hormones that need to be broken down so we are basically swimming bathing in chemicals 24 7 especially if you use tap water and it’s like in your shower head and you have to drink that and I mean it’s just it’s hitting us from every different angle thank goodness we have this system of phase one phase two detoxification and the whole goal of this process is to turn poisons into harmless water-soluble particles so in other words a lot of these chemicals are fat soluble so let me explain fat soluble so you can see right here we have fat and we have water right do you know they don’t mix this is the fat soluble toxins right here it goes into the body but it doesn’t come out it gets stuck in there so we need to turn this fat into something that’s more water-soluble so it can go through the body so what these enzymes do is basically add something to the fat and then and so they break it down into something that can actually go through the body okay this is another example that I use with like bile salts and what bile salts can do for fat but it’s a good analogy also for what these enzymes do to the fat soluble poisons in phase one they’re adding you know either water hydrogen or oxygen to start to oxidize and break it down the challenge with this phase one okay is that when this chemical is activated it becomes more toxic more dangerous more of a carcinogen because you’re adding oxygen and you’re oxidating it and you’re opening it up that’s why we have phase two but we need phase one to be able to dismantle this so then we can then add the next thing to this chain of events so phase one kind of starts the process it activates things it requires certain nutrients like folate vitamin C certain B vitamins calcium Etc and this is also the phase where if you consume grapefruit juice right or grapefruit and you’re also taking a medication there’s a certain chemical in grapefruit that will retain that drug longer in your system and it will make things more toxic for you so you never want to consume grapefruit juice or grapefruits while you’re taking a certain medication and during phase one there’s a lot of free radicals and oxidation happening and this is where you need a lot of antioxidants so antioxidants protect the cell against all this free radical stuff going on and detoxification is different because you’re taking a poison and turning into a water-soluble harmless particle now after phase one gets a hold of that poison then phase two comes in there and it does something called conjugation okay and that’s basically adding a water soluble double molecule to this compound like for example glutathione so glutathione binds with it and now it’s water soluble and if you ever get a DNA test you’ll see all these detoxification enzymes and you can actually see if you have a problem with them genetically like like say there’s just a mutation with one of those enzymes and what that means is there’s some sluggishness and that enzyme doesn’t work like it should so it makes you more susceptible to damage from that poison if you’re exposed to it it’s just going to be harder for your body to get rid of that toxin unless you eat very healthy and you do things to really avoid that toxin so the value of a DNA test will tell you the importance of avoiding a certain toxin or going above and beyond what you normally do to eat certain things to help this process happen faster and when I’m actually evaluating DNA testing I’m finding a lot of people have a problem with these detoxification enzymes so in Phase One okay the name of this group of family of enzymes are called the cytochrome p450 enzymes okay and then in phase two you have a bunch of other names involving glutathione but I’m not going to get into these names at this point just realize that all these enzymes pretty much do the same thing but in different locations in the body and with different toxins so like I said before there are detoxification enzymes in your intestines in your lungs in your kidney liver is a primary area of detoxification so with phase two you’re attaching certain water-soluble compounds to help it become more water-soluble and that involves sulfur choline certain amino acids zinc now there’s a couple points I’m going to talk about with this whole assembly line of enzymes to break down these chemicals it really depends on how chronically you’re exposed to these chemicals for example if you have a bad habit of smoking okay every day for a long period of time that is going to be way more of a problem with these enzymes and the accumulation in chronic irritation and the side effects of things like cancer because remember cancer is this chronic irritation or damage to the mitochondria that then switches over into this out of control cancer cell well something causes it and it’s usually The Chronic exposure to something and it can also be diet as well and on top of that if someone has a fatty liver which the majority of the population does this phase one phase 2 detoxification enzyme pathway just does not work like it should also if they have inflammation in the liver same thing like hepatitis it just won’t work that well and especially if they have cirrhosis it won’t work that well now there’s also a phase three detoxification where you’re eliminating these water-soluble chemicals throughout the body but what if for example you are constipated right your bowels hold on to these toxins well that’s a problem because they accumulate especially if you have chronic constipation and another thing you can have is like dysbiosis which is an alteration in the gut microbiome there’s a gut liver relationship that if there’s something going on the gut it’s going to affect the liver because the friendly bacteria also assist in removing these chemicals so if you had a lot of antibiotics or you have an overgrowth of yeast or a lot of problems with the gut microbiome you can have a problem with detoxification now a little bit higher up in the digestion you have these bile ducts bile is one of the primary ways of eliminating these toxins okay as well as through the urinary system but if there’s anything going on in the bile ducts where there’s a blockage that’s called cholestasis where there’s just like sludge or an obstruction from a gallstone that can start accumulating these toxins in the liver and interrupt this flow that should norm
