let’s talk about the liver and some

really important things you can do

to help improve your ability to detoxify

and

reverse damage to the liver now i have

personal experience

with having a very damaged liver and

some people will ask me well did you

cure your liver right well i have no

residual symptoms from it and i seem to

have resolved my liver problems but if i

go

off my plan okay just a little bit i

will start to experience symptoms of a

liver problem and the reason i’m

bringing that up is because sometimes

when people will have this idea that

if you cure something you can then go

back to your

normal diet or your regular diet and be

able to tolerate some of those foods for

example let’s take diabetes i had

someone actually ask me this

well

will your diet

fix my diabetes

so i can then go back to my regular plan

i’m like

no you can’t do that because that would

be equivalent to having a car that runs

on

unleaded

now you’re going to switch to diesel and

think that your car is going to run

normal if you put diesel in an engine

that’s not designed for diesel okay and

you ruin it

you can’t go back to diesel okay you

have to use the fuel that that car is

designed to run on the same thing with

the body our bodies were meant to run on

ketone fuel any glucose that it needs it

can make very very easily and this

especially applies to the liver if you

overload the liver with too much glucose

or carbs

it’s not going to work right so the

liver needs certain things to function

okay but what i want to talk about

is something a little bit different

and that is glutathione glutathione is

one of the most important antioxidants

for your liver and pretty much for all

your cells all your cells have

glutathione in it in very very large

quantities and it’s very important i

like to call it a superhero because it’s

there to

protect the liver it’s there to help

repair the liver from damage and there’s

a lot of research on glutathione there’s

actually over a hundred thousand

uh peer review papers in scientific

journals

just on glutathione so it’s well

researched and so it’s heavily involved

with the repair actions of the liver as

well as the detoxification function of

your liver and so whether you have a

fatty liver or an inflamed liver or scar

tissue or cirrhosis of the liver

maintaining your glutathione levels is

going to be a very very important thing

to do now as far as detoxification

glutathione has

special affinity for heavy metals okay

especially mercury it pulls it out of

the brain

and brings it to the liver and out

through the bile and it gets it out of

the body i mean that’s like miraculous

it helps to change

poisons that are fat soluble

that are stuck in the body to

water-soluble harmless particles that’s

that’s pretty cool it helps to break

down things like hydrogen peroxide that

your cells make

as one of the defense mechanisms in the

immune system

your body makes a lot of hydrogen

peroxide so glutathione comes in there

and helps to

neutralize that if you have overdosed on

something called acetaminophen then

glutathione could come in there and

neutralize that effect

if you drink a lot of alcohol

glutathione can help

minimize the damage to your liver if you

are taking medications on a regular

basis

you should be making sure your

glutathione is at a higher level i mean

there are so many health conditions that

are connected to low levels of

glutathione there’s over 75 major

diseases that are associated with low

glutathione levels and the problem is as

we age we make less and less of it so

i’m going to talk about how to keep it

at a higher level on your body it can

also improve

insulin resistance it can help counter

exercise fatigue and it can protect the

mitochondria that’s one of its main

functions

the mitochondria is all about producing

energy and when you get damage in the

mitochondria you’re more susceptible to

getting cancer and so glutathione is

directly involved in keeping the

mitochondria from becoming too damaged

so you can prevent cancer so it’s a

really important molecule all right so

how do we become depleted with

glutathione well number one we get older

okay number two

trauma the more trauma you have

the less glutathione you’re gonna have

and so the need for glutathione goes up

the problem is when you get traumatized

you end up in the hospital right

and then where do they feed you

all the things that deplete glutathione

so that’s not good so

junk food

conventional foods deplete glutathione

alcohol depletes glutathione stress

depletes glutathione toxins exposure to

heavy metals plastics chemicals

medications drugs all deplete

glutathione and increase the need for

glutathione over training let’s say you

go to the gym and you exercise too much

now you end up with

low amounts of glutathione

and of course

being a pre-diabetic a diabetic or

eating a lot of carbohydrates especially

refined carbohydrates sugars can deplete

your glutathione levels

so the question is how

do we beef up this number no pun

intended well just so happens that beef

is loaded with glutathione so eating

beef is a good thing and eating animal

products will give you more glutathione

than

plant sources however plant sources will

also give you glutathione especially the

ones that are high in sulfur okay that

would be like the cruciferous family of

vegetables um kale broccoli brussels

sprouts radishes especially now other

sulfur vegetables like garlic onion

very very good to increase your

glutathione and so when you have your

animal meats like whether you have your

beef or your fish or whatever

add the garlic and onion to it to really

optimize

that glutathione now there’s other

supplements you can take to increase

your glutathione as well nac is one

alpha lipoic acid is another curcumin

which is from turmeric is another

vitamin d

will help you

sami is another and melatonin and i’m

not talking about the supplement

melatonin i’m just talking about

the melatonin that you can get from

being exposed to infrared light so being

out in the sun will increase melatonin

which will then increase glutathione and

melatonin is a very powerful antioxidant

as well so the combination is really

good and also what the sun will do for

your stress it lowers your stress levels

and so all these things together can

compound

this amazing effect to increase

glutathione but i think it’s important

to understand

the mechanics of glutathione so you can

understand that if you

were traumatized for example you have an

injury well definitely start getting

more glutathione to counter that effect

or let’s say you slipped off your

program and drank some alcohol well now

beef up your glutathione levels

or you know you’re you’re aging the

older you get the more stressed you are

the more that you have to take

medications the more important is

to keep your diet really really clean

to increase your glutathione to counter

and neutralize the effect

that these things can have on your body

now there’s a lot more to know about the

liver and so i want you to watch this

video next i put it up here check it out
