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 strengthening your immune  system that’s what’s missing this course will show  

you how to bulletproof yourself and so you can  tolerate and resist your environment much better  

by strengthening your own immune system i put  a link down in the description right down below
