today we're going to talk about the liver and for a lot of people they have this slow liver death the cells become fatty inflamed and then they develop scar tissue and so that kills these tiny cells but what is the cause well I'm going to show you and this is going to not only shock you but it's going to really piss you off so I'm going to cover the seven early signs of liver damage these are weird symptoms that you might not connect to your liver but they're so important to identify because the problem with
the liver is by the time you find out you have liver damage sometimes it's too late simply because the first signs of a liver problem are basically no signs you don't know what's going on until sometimes up to 90% of that liver is destroyed I have a lot of experience with this because I had liver damage early on in my 20s and so I want to tell you what happened nowadays alcohol is not at all the cause of liver problems compared to what it was long ago I would say if we took alcoholic fatty liver
disease and we compare that with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease alcohol induced fatty liver is roughly about 4% okay that's 12th of this other fatty liver problem but before I get into the root cause I want to talk about these early warning signs the number one symptom is kind of a fullness or a tightness or even it could be a pain underneath your right rib cage that sometimes can refer to the right shoulder or even down the arm or on the back part by the scapula I didn't know what it was it was my liver and
the liver swells up and it puts pressure on these little tubes that go to your gallbladder and at one time I thought it was my gallbladder but it really was my liver since the liver controls the gallbladder and the gallbladder is just this little sack that stores and concentrates fluid called bile which is made by your liver and bile of course helps you digest fats I didn't have a clue what was going on but I will say that that pain radiates up to the right side through this little nerve it's called the franic nerve up
to the right side of the shoulder so you're going to feel it right here okay like a tightness I don't care how many times someone Mass es you it's just going to be tight and sometimes it can refer in the back and to the romboid around your scapula on the right side but that's all liver issues what eventually happened to me is the vertebra of my neck these are not bones in your neck but in my neck okay all this tension on the right side was pulling these vertebrae to the right side and that pinched
a nerve that went down my arm and I had all sorts of referred pain down my right arm I had no idea it was connected to my liver I thought it was a problem in my neck and I had massages it never got better there's nothing like treating the wrong problem that just keeps that problem there I did not connect the dots okay all right number two is a loss of energy now you might not feel like a noticeable fatigue but you'll notice that you can't go a long period of time like your endurance is
suffering especially if you were to do exercise or exert yourself you kind of run out of gas a lot sooner in fact you might need to go to bed earlier because you don't have the endurance and that full energy that you should have you might get tired after you eat you don't have this solid good endurance it kind of comes up and down like that now this fatigue can also roll over into weakness so you just lose that Vitality that strength I mean I know some people with liver problems that getting out of a chair
is difficult or if they're sitting on the floor and getting up it's like it's taking them more than they should to get up number three is it somewhere could be in the bottom of your feet for me it was the bottom of my foot right by my Arch but it could be anywhere in the body this is the bile salts backing up into your tissues okay and a lot of times you'll notice these in your extremities either your hands or your feet and for some reason people notice this more at night than during the day
when they're moving around probably because the circulation and it kind of pushes the bio salt through the body but if you're just in one position for a period of time you might notice like more itchiness in the bottom of the feet backing up into the blood into the tissues number four is these little red dots or spider veins okay this really is coming from higher levels of estrogen for men they might have extra breast tissue for women there's a whole series of problems with estrogen dominance too much estrogen is not good for the body okay
it can actually lead the cancer with men as they get older and their liver becomes more damaged if you notice their skin becomes softer because they have more estrogen which is interesting estrogen kind of gives the soft layer around a female body also when you have more estrogen than you do androgens okay you're going to lose your hair on your skin this is probably why older men start losing their hair on their lower legs as well and then the skin gets very very soft and shiny that's usually liver problem and the accumulation of estrogen all
right the fifth symptom relates to your th thyroid the thyroid is dependent on the liver for the activation of the thyroid hormone with a liver problem you're going to notice the thyroid is going to start to go downhill now that can give you a lot of different symptoms from fatigue loss of hair loss of energy higher cholesterol the skin gets dried out it could be a lot of things but it's specifically a lowered functioning thyroid all right number six low vitamin D situation now you might already have a deficiency of vitamin D because most people
do but with liver damage it becomes a lot worse why because when you actually consume a vitamin D from the foods or you take vitamin D from a pill or you get it from the Sun it actually goes into the blood and eventually goes through the kidney and it becomes an active form of vitamin D3 what you need to know is that you need your liver to be able to work in this process of storing and utilizing vitamin D if the liver is not able to put that protein on on that vitamin D you're going
to be vitamin D deficient the specific type of vitamin D that's going to be low is something called 25 hydroxy vitamin D that is the type of vitamin D that they check in your blood and so here's a person taking all this of vitamin D they're getting more sun but they can't seem to get their levels very high why because their liver is damaged all right what are some of the symptoms that would show up with that inflammation somewhere in your body probably more in your lower back area but you can have inflammation anywhere in
the body so your inflammatory markers are going to be much higher your immune system is going to be weaker you're going to have a problem with calcium so you may notice that you have problems with muscle spasms tighten muscles muscle knots all of that vitamin D is so important in the body it influences 10% of all of your genes you're talking like 2500 different genes it influences so the function of vitamin D goes Way Beyond just inflammation or calcium regulation or muscle and number seven your urine's going to be a little darker than it should
be you're also going to notice a weird smell with your urine like what the heck just happened when I urinated that is a liver problem but now let's dive into the actual root cause of a liver problem because there's a lot of confusions when you look at Wikipedia it'll tell you well there's associated with this or associated with that and all you need to do is focus on losing weight because obesity has a higher incident or it's a risk factor blah blah blah blah it's all very very confusing I'm going to show you a real
cause of not just a fatty liver but an inflamed liver and a liver that turns into curosis and this goes beyond the alcohol cause so check this out we're going to talk about the root cause of not just a fatty liver but liver disease in general obesity is associated type 2 diabetes is associated with it as well as something called metabolic syndrome so basically we're dealing with high blood sugar high cholesterol high blood pressure obesity all are responsible for non alcoholic fatty liver disease now of course we need to make these sound very scientific so
high blood sugar is going to be hypoglycemia or type 2 diabetes high cholesterol is hyper cholesterolemia sounds a little more scientific then we have high blood pressure which is usually essential hypertension then you're giving these medications men Forin Lipitor for cholesterol linol for high blood pressure you're also given a diuretic called hydrochlorizide which is going to thin your blood and maybe some OIC now all this treatment has been normalized for people okay it's very scientific it's normalized and when you get into causation you know it's always this Association you talk about risk factors all of
these right here and the reason why you're treated in other words we have sugar starch which is sugar and seed oil these three ingredients are the root cause and even more of a root cause are these guys right here who fund the dietitians and have a very cozy relation relationship with the FDA now recently I did an interview with an influencer on Tik Tok and Instagram amazing basketball player he's only 22 years old and I wanted to interview him because I wanted to see if I could change his diet and increase his performance so come
to find out he eats at fast food place like McDonald's eats pancakes with syrup for breakfast so he eats a lot of junk food and so I asked him I said do you have any health problems he goes well I'm a little bit tired oh yeah and I don't sleep at night I go well we're going to change that so I recommended what he should do and then he says he has high cholesterol his doctor wanted to put him on statin drugs to lower his cholesterol he's 22 years old what 22 years old yeah the
doctor made this slight Omission what he was eating right why don't we change the diet but I think a lot of younger people because they're not overweight think that they can get away with eating junk food but it causes a lot of other issues if a 22-year-old was put on statin drugs first of all they're going to have a lot of damage with their muscle okay not to mention energy and eventually you know your cognitive function and even testosterone too because the raw material from testosterone is cholesterol and what they're doing is they're blocking it
with this drug right here what's really happening we're omitting this huge cause big food is responsible but it's been normalized it's been hidden you are an ATM for big food and big Pharma I am considered a quack because I'm recom recommending something like keto which basically is getting people on Lower amounts of sugar and starches and Seed oils and you know they're going to put doubt in people's mind where oh keto might work initially for weight loss but we don't know the long-term effects that is such a disinformation campaign but keto is the way to
go the junk food industry they do not like keto okay so this is why you hear some bad things about keto and then sometimes I'll get that well Dr Burg's not a real doctor right a doctor that prescribes you know scientific medication that does the proper diagnosis does this proper treatment standard of care and puts people on medication I don't want to do this I never wanted to do this so they can call me a quack whatever I'm going to keep telling people to get off these three ingredients right here and what's going to happen
is you're going to turn around a lot of these symptoms right here and eventually this thing right here now that I told you what not to eat the next question is what do I eat and for that information you should watch this video right here
