today I want to discuss the real reason

why you should start consuming liver

liver is the number one nutrient dense

food on planet Earth number two would be

oysters but number one is liver and it’s

not just the nutrients that liver will

give you there’s something else that

liver will do or a great majority of the

population and so hear me out because at

least half of you watching has this very

specific problem that you can benefit

greatly from consuming more liver now

you might already know that liver has

the best bioavailable nutrients like

vitamin A and it has it on a vitamin n

it has B1 B2 B3 B6 B9 which is folate

we’ll come back to that in a second

B12 choline that has vitamin D it has

iron the heme form of iron which is very

different than plant-based iron it is

copper it’s loaded with zinc selenium

and many other trace minerals it has

phosphorus and it also has all of the

essential amino acids and especially

this compound called methionine which

I’ll talk about in a minute the two main

common conclusions people have with

eating liver is that they have this idea

that liver is just filled with toxins

well liver itself is not a storage for

toxins it helps you get rid of toxins

but it doesn’t hold toxins the fat cells

normally hold toxins but not the liver

and of course the liver that I’m going

to recommend you consume if you can get

a hold of it would be breastfed

grass-finished liver other point about

liver and some people will say well you

don’t want to have liver you know very

frequently because you’re going to get

an overload and toxicity of vitamin A on

coffee well iron well if you look up the

studies that talk about that they never

talk about consuming excessive Rhythm

okay they talk about consuming uh

individual synthetic vitamins like

synthetic vitamin A or they might talk

about consuming too much copper so of

course liver does not contain synthetic

vitamins now I will say there has been

one study that I could find and that was

consuming

um polar bear liver and that’s very

toxic if you consume too much of it

because the amount of vitamin A is a

solid chart but I don’t even believe

that you can create a Toxic effect if

you’re going to consuming every single

day now of course there’s always

exception if you consider them a

tremendous amount of liver potentially

could create a problem but you probably

noticed the side effects and you would

cut that back but here’s why the

majority of the population

should start consuming liver because

there’s a very common genetic problem

with our population apparently it’s a

defect or mutation in a gene called

MTHFR now at first it might look like an

acronym for a dirty word or a swear word

but it’s not this Gene if it’s altered

in pivots

a certain enzyme that creates a Cascade

of problems in your body in fact this

Gene is probably the most important Gene

in your entire body I’m going to explain

why because if there’s a problem with it

you’ll have low methylation now what is

methylation methylation involves adding

a methyl group well that’s probably

didn’t explain anything a methyl group

is

ch3 and methylation is really adding

something to a lot of different enzymes

to create different effects without

manipulation you’re not going to be able

to detoxify heavy metals okay and that

includes iron okay so many people have

an issue with too much iron and iron

will build up and then the liver is

affected but with the methylation

problem

you will have a situation where the iron

is not breaking down yet the iron is

unusable to you so you have symptoms of

high iron and symptoms of low iron so

your feet and hands might be cold all

the time despite having a normal thyroid

so that’s just one symptom another big

problem is the lack of producing

neurotransmitters so what is that going

to affect that’s going to affect your

mood specifically anxiety and depression

another function is DNA repair now is

that important uh yeah especially if you

want to prevent cancer and with this

enzyme problem you’ll have a tendency to

be more at risk for a cold intervention

you will also have a problem with

inflammation so let’s say you’re taking

fish oil turmeric all these things to

get rid of inflammation you’re doing

fasting and you still have inflammation

well that’s because the cause of it is

this other thing it’s a genetic thing

now this enzyme is also involved with

producing energy ATP so you’re generally

going to be kind of you’re not going to

be able to have the full capacity of

energy despite how many hours of sleep

you get despite how good your diet is it

can also affect your cognitive function

specifically memory focused

concentration so this can lead to Aiden

D it can lead to dementia and even

Alzheimer’s methylation also helps you

break down things okay like estradiol to

lesser toxic forms of estrogen so many

people have estrogen dominance in fact

you have too much estrogen you’re at

risk for breast cancer and cancer of the

uterus and the ovary and so people will

start taking remedies like you might eat

more cruciferous food or take a product

called dim or avoid soy but they don’t

have enough methylation they’re not

going to be able to break down the

estrogen as well they might also have

lower testosterone despite how many

things they try to do to fix that

problem methylation also helps to

protect against autoimmune diseases it’s

intimately involved with your immune

system and especially to protect you

against the adverse reactions that can

occur when someone gets a vaccine not

being able to methylate increases your

risk of a stroke so I hope you can see

the importance of this whole chemical

pathway well here’s the thing you need

to know this chemical pathway is

dependent on two primary nutrients and

some secondary ones too but the two

primary nutrients are folate and b12 so

you even know you are consuming them

from your diet you’re just not going to

be able to get enough because they’re

not able to be converted to the active

form without this enzyme in methylation

working correctly in fact if you end up

taking the synthetic version of these

two nutrients

which is in all sorts of things which I

will cover that can create a build up

and make things a lot worse because

there’s a lot of toxicity symptoms from

just those two nutrients as well if

they’re in the synthetic Bond you see

that Gene is all about converting that

nutrient into the active form and so

this is why you never want to take um

like folic acid you want to take folate

which is the natural version and the

same thing with B12 you don’t want to

take the

cyanocobolamine version you want to take

the methylcobolamine version now this

specific genetic problem

um is fairly recently discovered because

of the DNA testing that’s being done and

the great majority of the population

probably has not tested their genes yet

and so there’s a lot of people walking

around with this problem with these

symptoms and don’t have a clue of this

connection but it’s a very simple

problem to solve if you understand it

and you know do which I’m going to

explain so I recently got a DNA test so

apparently I don’t have this exact

problem but I have a version of it which

blocks my ability to use choline as well

as these other two nutrients but not

quite to the degree that someone with

MTH at R would have so in simple terms

what does this mean if you have this

mutation with this Gene it means that

you’re always going to be deficient in

the folate and b12 and so the solution

is just to take more of it and it just

so happens out of all the foods that you

can eat

liver is at the top of the list liver

has super mega amounts of folate and b12

and the other Associated nutrients that

go along with methylation and that would

be B2 B3 B6 choline vitamin D zinc and

methionine now let’s say for example you

don’t like to eat liver well you’re just

going to probably have to get a

supplement that has high amounts of the

correct form of B12

B6 and pulling but there are four things

you need to focus on okay number one you

need to take more folate and b12 and

already discussed that and by the way

folate is also in dark green vegetables

but it’s also in liver as well all right

number two if you want to avoid the

synthetic folate in B12 that is in the

enrichment process or the fortification

process of various Foods if you consume

the breads the pasta the cereal the

crackers the biscuits you are getting an

enriched grain product with a lot of

synthetic folic acid and b12 so this is

just another reason why you should avoid

grains and when you consume nutritional

yeast many times it’s fortified with

synthetic vitamins if you take

nutritional yeast you want to get the

one that’s not fortified not enriched

all right number three you want to

minimize your alcohol content no more

than a six-pack a night you don’t want

to drink excessive amount because

alcohol tends to make this condition

worse and that probably explains why I

cannot tolerate alcohol I mean if I just

drink a little bit I feel like crap well

it’s because of this genetic feedback

now for those of you that don’t know

that I have addressed its humor

um I was being sarcastic with the six

pack okay I mean just keep it below like

maybe two or three drinks per night okay

all right number four you might be

taking synthetic vitamins right now and

not even knowing that it’s worsening

this problem in fact if you just stop

taking your synthetic vitamins you might

feel so much better and how do I know

the majority of the population is

consuming synthetic vitamins talking

about the folate and the B12 because

99.9 of all vitamins sold on planet

Earth are synthetic so that’s how I know

so start reading the labels and hit

vitamins that are from food source or

are from natural sources now since we

did touch on detoxification there’s a

really good video that I did on that

that I’d love to share with you and I

put it up right here check it out
