hi guys in this video we’re gonna talk

about low blood Sugar’s in a minute

fasting and your liver I recently did a

video on talking about the adrenals and

low blood sugars in a minute fasting

today we’re gonna talk about the liver

there is another hormone that is

involved that I’m not going to get into

that at this point now what happens when

you have a hypoglycemic reaction or low

blood sugars there’s two main things

there’s other things too but there’s two

main things that will keep your Sugar’s

high so to prevent the drop in blood

sugar okay the adrenals are one and then

the liver is the other one so in summary

if there’s an adrenal issue you need to

focus on your sleep your B vitamins

potassium decrease stress to improve

that so you can have the adrenal glands

help you compensate and not experience

the symptoms of hypoglycemia which is

dizziness irritability and a great

difficulty in doing an amine fasting

because you have to go a long period of

time without eating and you don’t want

to crash and burn and feel kind of funky

the primary target for hypoglycemia is

the brain okay so you’re gonna have all

sorts of cognitive issues and mood

issues okay so if there’s liver damage

if you have a fatty liver or you have

cirrhosis it’s scar tissue that can come

from the fatty liver which both come

from high levels of insulin or insulin

resistance okay

that’s gonna inhibit your ability to

store sugar in the liver the great

majority of all the stored sugar that

helps you between the meal to regulate

your fuel is called glycogen and it’s

stored in the liver so if your liver is

damaged you won’t have the capacity of

stored sugar to release and keep your

blood Sugar’s normal when you’re not

eating

okay so let’s number one because you

just don’t have the quantity of sugar to

stabilize yourself between meals because

the liver is fatty or there’s some type

of damage to it number two you have a

problem with this other hormone called

igf-1 that’s insulin-like growth factor

number one now what is that

that’s another hormone that is very

similar to insulin but it works when

you’re not eating

whereas insulin

converts things into fat IGF does the

opposite and releases the energy from

fat and stored sugar into energy between

the meals so you have these two things

working back and forth insulin triggered

when you’re eating and IGF triggered

when you’re not eating for the purpose

of maintaining blood sugars okay but if

there’s damage to this hormone the blood

sugars can drop to low and you can have

all the problems of low blood sugar okay

so there’s several things that can

improve i GF number one number one

keeping your insulin down by cleaning up

the diet not eating sugar

number two increasing exercise that will

help this right here in a minute fasting

which we’ll come back to and sleep these

are all things that could improve this

in addition to fixing your liver if you

have a fatty liver you need to eat

healthy you need to take choline to

strip the fat off you need to do keto

and them and fasting but also cirrhosis

that can be improved if you’re doing in

a minute fasting and there’s also an

enzyme you can take called Serra pep

taste I’ll put a link down below for a

video if you have cirrhosis you can

improve it so anything that will improve

the liver will improve IGF number one

and this works very closely with human

growth hormone they almost have the same

job so the whole goal is to go from one

meal to the next do intimate of fasting

over a longer period of time and prevent

the low blood sugar situation okay by

improving the liver and the adrenals so

when you’re trying to do intimate

fasting some of the things in addition

to adding fat outside of vinegar

potassium B vitamins and going at this

very gradual is you want to improve the

liver by increasing something called

vegetables okay large quantities of

vegetables or salad it’s kind of a new

concept so the biggest problem that I

see with people doing in a minute

fasting and they’re having a hard time

is they don’t consume enough vegetables

so I know you might not have a problem

with this but you probably know people

who just don’t like vegetables but this

is really a very important thing to

increase

when you’re doing a minute fasting that

goes beyond just eating more fat if you

don’t have enough vegetables they’re not

talking about just increasing potassium

I’m talking about all the other things

that are in vegetables that will

actually heal the liver and allow you to

go a long period of time without eating

so if you’re having difficulty doing

intermittent fasting because of your

blood sugars you need to make sure the

Drina are good and the liver by

consuming more vegetables thank you so
