let’s talk about how to improve your

thyroid through fixing your liver okay

and I’m talking about a fatty liver

there’s a huge significant link between

hypothyroid conditions and a fatty liver

the higher the liver enzymes are the

worse the thyroid is and I’m talking

about thyroid stimulating hormone it’s

going to be lowered now what is the

connection between these two organs well

if you don’t know this eighty percent of

the conversion from t4 which is the

inactive thyroid hormone to t3 which is

the active thyroid hormone occurs

through your liver so the body needs the

liver to convert most of that hormone

20% is through the kidney so if there’s

kidney damage that’s also going to

inhibit the conversion so if you can

improve the liver just by a little bit

you’re gonna create huge improvements in

the thyroid now the other thing about

hypothyroid conditions is that ninety

percent of time it’s a Hashimoto’s type

that’s an autoimmune issue which is

different because there are antibodies

against the thyroid so you basically

have the immune system attacking the

thyroid and that keeps it inflamed and

that’s another issue too because if the

thyroid is not working and you develop

Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism just the fact

that you have hypothyroidism that can

even contribute to a fatty liver but in

the majority of the cases the the root

cause of a fatty liver is either

fructose or some high carb diet it is

not the fat that you’re eating that’s

causing the fatty liver like a lot of

people talk about it’s the carbohydrates

that are converting some of the studies

that people quote on having a high fat

diet causes by the liver if you ever

read them they’re on mice and they’re

not actually just a high-fat diet

they’re a high fat high carbohydrate

diet if you mix the two that’s even

worse because that’s going to exaggerate

things so this is what I’m going to

recommend okay to improve this situation

we’re just going to improve the function

of the liver but there are certain

things that we can actually work on both

at the same time like selenium for

example

is a very powerful antioxidant it can

also detoxify mercury too so selenium is

not just good for the thyroid it’s also

good for the liver if you have an

autoimmune case you’re going to generate

a lot of hydrogen peroxide and this will

act as an antioxidant to kind of counter

the free radical damage that occurs from

your own immune system number two

healthy Kido in in a minute fasting

essential for removing fat from the

liver we’re cutting the carbs down and

we’re also doing in a minute fasting now

what’s gonna happen is that if you have

a belly and you have fat around the

organs your body is going to go after

the fatty liver first so you may not see

it on your belly because you’re gonna be

losing weight on the inside so once the

liver fat is gone and then you’ll start

seeing reduction in your belly or at

least you’ll see it a lot faster so this

is very very important milk thistle is

one of the best herbs for the liver to

help strengthen the function of the

liver cells choline is a type of B

vitamin that will act directly on the

liver and it will actually help dissolve

some of this fat and by the way guess

what food is high in choline egg yolks

interesting and number five zinc is not

just good for the thyroid but the liver

as well and vitamin D so vitamin D zinc

and selenium are really good for an

autoimmune situation but it’s also good

for the liver so in summary follow this

list improve the liver to actually help

your thyroid and lastly check out these

other very interesting videos on the

thyroid that I have on this page
