I want to share with you some

information that I will guarantee you

never heard before relating to your

liver now I’m going to go through two of

the signs of a fatty liver first and

then I want to explain something before

I get to the third one but

the first symptom or sign of a fatty

liver

is

there is no symptoms there is no signs

you have virtually no indication that

you have a fatty liver okay that’s the

first one which is kind of like not

really a symptom but it’s something you

should know so many people have a fatty

liver in fact 30 percent of all

overweight children have a fatty liver

okay and 40 of the entire population

have a fatty liver and the great

majority of them don’t have a clue

because there are no symptoms now the

second most common symptom or sign that

you have a fatty liver is that your

midsection is protruding so if you look

down right now

at your abdomen

does it stick out

okay

you could have a fatty liver now this

next part is very very interesting so if

you’ve checked out just check back in

right now and really hear what I’m going

to say because the good news is the

liver is the only organ that you have

that you can get 100 percent repair and

regeneration

by volume and size

all the other organs the pancreas the

kidney

your lungs

you don’t get 100 repair

but the liver you can but there is a

point of no return which I’m going to

explain next

so normally uh you have a fat cell that

over a period of time if you eat too

much or the wrong Foods it starts to

expand right it gets to a point where

there’s a limitation of expansion

your fat cells do not have an unlimited

capacity to expand at some point

they hit their limit what happens next

is the fat cell becomes dysfunctional in

other words it starts to lose blood

supply it starts to become inflamed you

start developing fibrosis and scar

tissue around the fat cells

and they can no longer take in fat so

where does that fat go if you maintain

your lifestyle the way it’s going well

it goes outside the fat cell it starts

to getting stored outside the fat cell

that’s called ectopic fat

and I’m talking about in the muscles not

in blood cells just around the

pancreatic cells and the pancreas around

the heart cells around your kidneys okay

and there is a huge area that your body

can dump this fat in around the organs

in your abdominal cavity you can hold

four to six liters of this ectopic fat

very easily in your abdomen but that’s

only the start because that abdomen can

start to expand outward more and more

and more to the point where you can hold

more of this ectopic fat okay

now the majority of fat in someone’s

liver is this type of fat it’s ectopic

it’s not even in the fat cell this type

of fat is not a good healthy fat

this type of fat creates insulin

resistance now this next thing I’m going

to tell you is something

I didn’t really fully know and

understand until very recently okay so

this is new information

I talked about the liver being ectopic

fat but I didn’t tell you where the

source of that ectopic fat is really

coming from in the liver there’s three

sources

just under 60 is 59 of the of the fat in

your liver actually originates from fat

outside your liver it’s from fat in

other parts of your body that end up in

the liver sixty percent

wow that’s crazy

so how can that happen well like I said

before this fat becomes damaged you can

no longer hold fat so you start getting

a breakdown of that fat and it starts to

Leach out through into the bloodstream

and it ends up in the liver okay so a

lot of the fat that you have in your

liver is come from other places in your

body which is interesting so that’s 59

26 percent of the fat in the liver

actually comes from

your liver making its own fat from

glucose and so there’s a process called

gluconeogenesis that is the production

of new sugar

it says nothing to do with eating sugar

it just has to do with your liver making

sugar from non-carbohydrate sources now

insulin is supposed to inhibit or stop

that process from happening normally in

students like okay liver you can’t make

any more fat but because of all this

dysfunctional fat and the insulin

resistance now you have a deficiency of

insulin in the cells that’s causing this

uncontrolled gluconeogenesis in the

liver so your liver is just making tons

and tons of sugar and this happens in

diabetes pre-diabetes and insulin

resistance and you’ll see like diabetics

will wake up in the morning with the

dawn phenomena where all of a sudden

they have high sugar but sometimes if

they’re on the ketogenic diet they’re

not eating any sugar where is that Sugar

coming from it’s coming from the liver

making all this sugar because of all

this dysfunctional fat and the insulin

resistance okay because there’s there’s

an insufficient amount of insulin there

to suppress this process from happening

but of course in the blood you have this

massive amount of insulin

but in cells you have a deficiency of

insulin so we have this severe imbalance

and the third source of actual fat comes

from dietary fat but that’s because

you’re also consuming sugar at the same

time how can I make this even more

simple well

when you consume a diet that’s very high

in fructose or glucose or refined

carbohydrates that turn into glucose

you’re going to create a situation where

the fat cells get overwhelmed and they

get to a point where they can’t take in

any more fat it’s going to spill off

into around the organs in your liver and

your abdominal cavity you’re going to

develop insulin resistance but if you

check your blood sugar it’ll be normal

for a while okay because everything is

compensating

but if you check the insulin it’d be

screaming high but doctors don’t check

the insulin but if you check the blood

sugars it’ll be normal for a while for

about 10 to 15 years

and then

little cells of the pancreas are just

exhausted now they can’t make enough

insulin and now we get a much lowered

amount of insulin there’s nothing to

buffer these blood sugars so now the

blood sugar starts going higher and

higher and higher and you have what’s

called diabetes okay and they always say

a fatty liver is associated with you

know diabetes and metabolic syndrome and

high blood pressure but I think now you

can really see the source and what’s

really cause and what’s the effect of

this right we have the diet that this

two darn high in carbs that is actually

creating this insulin resistance and

it’s damaging the fat cell and so

self-defeating Circle and cycle and one

thing worsens another and the whole

thing gets out of control but at the

very heart of this problem is the

person’s consuming too many

carbohydrates now how do we know that is

that the source of it well very simply

if you

get someone on a low carb diet okay

what’s going to happen is you start

correcting all of this you start

getting rid of the fat off the liver

very quickly within two weeks you can

drop 50 percent of that fat off the

liver if you do the ketogenic diet and

intermittent fasting so dropping the

carbs is going to be very very very

important now remember the liver is the

only cell that can completely 100

regenerate it takes a beating it can

rejuvenate but there is a point of

limitation if you have too much scar

tissue in there then there’s going to be

a limitation of how much you can get

back but realize that we have the

dietary sugar that’s creating a lot of

problems but we also have dysfunctional

fat cells throughout your body that’s

ending up you know creating fat in the

liver and we’re also having the liver

that’s dysfunctional and it’s making all

this extra sugar because there’s no

insulin to suppress it okay but in your

blood you got tons of insulin all of

that can be corrected if you start to

cut down the carbs now you should also

know that the third symptom or sign that

you have a fatty liver is insulin

resistance there’s quite a few

additional things to know that you have

insulin resistance but the real big one

is you cannot go for a long period of

time without needing food if you can go

a long period of time very easily

without food then chances are your

insulin resistance is much less of a

problem okay and you will see as you

start to lower your carbs and you start

to fast it becomes easier and easier and

easier that is one of the best

indications that you are correcting

insulin resistance okay so one way to

know if you still have insulin

resistance is can you fast for a long

period of time but also if you can wake

up in the morning without having high

blood glucose all right so cravings

can’t go very long without needing food

fatigue I already mentioned that

frequent urination at night okay if you

have to get up at night to your night

chances are you have insulin resistance

and if you fix insulin resistance you

can fix this frequent urination problem

also feeling tired after lunch is a

common symptom

once you fix this your energy will

improve after lunch and throughout the

day and you’ll have less brain fog

vision problems is another indication

that you have insulin resistance you may

think you’re just getting old and you

need glasses but chances are it could be

just your blood sugar situation so the

three simple things that you need to do

is get on the healthy version of the

ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting

okay that’s the most important thing

number two start exercising exercise

regular consistent exercise will improve

insulin resistance very potently and the

third thing to start consuming apple

cider vinegar like one to two

tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in

your water a few times a day apple cider

vinegar could do a lot for your

digestion but it can very potently

improve your blood sugars now that you

know this interesting association

between liver fat

and insulin resistance

you should check out this video that

gives you the complete knowledge on

insulin resistance and I put it up right
