- When discussing chronic disease and crucial organs, we don’t always think about the role the liver plays in our body. Yet, the liver has a role in every metabolic process in the body, including ensuring our blood sugar levels are stable or ensuring that amino acids are converted into fuel.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Kristin Kirkpatrick & Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh to shed light on an epidemic affecting one in four people: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Dr. Hanouneh and Kristin share the biggest risk factors that lead to fatty liver disease including, metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, and insulin resistance. Dr. Hanouneh and Kristin discuss the rising prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, emphasizing major risk factors such as metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, and insulin resistance. They also explore how factors like the consumption of ultra-processed foods, sugar, and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to the increase in fatty liver cases.
Despite these challenges, there is hope. Dr. Hanouneh and Kristin share that fatty liver is a lifestyle disease, and changes to eating and lifestyle habits can effectively treat most cases of this condition.
Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh, MD, is a gastroenterologist and hepatologist specializing in liver disease. He has served as Chief Gastroenterology Fellow and associate staff at the Cleveland Clinic and later contributed his expertise to Minnesota Gastroenterology and Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RDN, is a celebrated author, speaker, and accomplished dietitian with over 25 years in the field. She is currently serving as a dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic Department of Wellness & Preventive Medicine. Teaming up with Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh, Kristin co-authored the bestselling book Skinny Liver in 2017, and their upcoming release is called Regenerative Health.
In this episode, Dhru, Kristin, and Dr. Hanouneh dive into:
-The top warning signs that you have fatty liver disease
-What leads to fatty liver and the major components of fatty liver disease
-The relationship between fatty liver disease and chronic inflammation
-What has caused the increase in rates of fatty liver disease
-How to treat and reverse fatty liver disease
-Four metabolic types and the importance of identifying your type for risk of fatty liver
-The key tests to measure your risk of fatty liver disease
-Factors beyond your control that can contribute to fatty liver disease
-Alcohol and its role in fatty liver disease
-Gut health and fiber consumption and the impact on the liver
-12 Liver-friendly foods to incorporate into your diet
-Supplements that can support liver health

Foie gras is fatty goose liver.
They are forced-fed with corn putted down their throats
Betaine Trimethylglycine helps to release liver fat, and Acetyl-L-Carnitine helps to transport fats into mitochondria
Phosphatydylcholine (Tetramethylglicine) is stronger than Trimethylglicine, and is produced in Russia for intravenous use (essentiale)
In Russia they use also a redlight laser to treat liver disease, also intravenous (Weber medical Germany)
2 important factors regarding digestion are c h e w I n g food a lot, and enough stomach acid, which is dependent on Thiamine mostly required in the brain stem and Acetylcholine as Transmitter via vagus nerve no the GI system
Protone pump inhibitors should be forbidden in most cases.

@@Glokirk what
I saw this on Istagram - 1/2 oz. olive oil, 1/2 oz. lemon, pinch of cayenne pepper. I tried it for 2 weeks. My liver enzymes had been 5 times the NL limit. When I retested they had come down to Normal levels. Good luck, see if it helps you.
A lot of it is conditioning…i fasted for a week or two several times…when i did it I was shocked that you can actually function and not lose energy and feel better. I realized that ‘hungry’ was not connected to need. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day - a joke. U need carbs - another joke. Essential grains - a joke. Go overseas and u will see healthy people doing it all kinds of ways
I've never been a breakfast eater because I find I have much better energy all morning long without it. Eating breakfast makes me sluggish at first, then ravenous as the lunch hour approaches. I experience neither of those things when I fast all morning.
Very alarming! A low carb diet and fasting are the best things for your liver. TMG and taurine will also help a great deal! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart and lungs.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion plaques, growths and pathogens by the immune system. This will also remove spikes quicker, whether natural or unnatural in origin!
Blood clotting is lessened.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, reducing inflammation and allowing the immune bodies to move freely through the body.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies in a 72h fast, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors and increases average telomere length in stem cell pools.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Fasting restores your circadian rhythm to normal over time.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast but most teas and herbs are OK. Supplements and meds often break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasting sactivates autophagy (literally self eating). This will cause cells to recycle damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses.
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose loose skin while fasting, but the frail will have increased growth hormone release, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system, just like the effect of CBD oil
Just 24h of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function.
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting!
Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

thank you ❤
Dhru, you are such a fabulous interviewer. I have been listening for a few years and I always come away with such valuable information. You just have a way of making the information so clear, comprehensive and relatable. I look so forward to every new episode.
I agree with user! As I listen, questions form in my head-and Dhru asks those questions and more. It’s very informative, very useful and very satisfying. Thank you!
Is fatty liver genetic.
I love love love how Dhru simply dives right into the show! 🎉
Amen
My 74 year old husband went to his physical therapy appointment Wednesday.
His therapist told him his eyes were “ yellow.”
Unfortunately my husband takes a statin, takes more acetaminophen ( Tylenol) than he should and likes his vodka .
Isn’t that a possible sign of jaundice/ high liver enzymes?
I started researching healthy eating because I use to have prediabetes. I also have dementia and alzheimers according to the doctor. I have a problem with short term memory loss. Im 64. You mentioned most of my favorite must eat foods for good health. So i think this is great. It just confirms to me that I'm on the right track. If i had to add one thing, i would say get hemp hearts to add to almost any dish. A light nutty buttery taste. And i add walnuts to both albacore tuna salad and canned chicken breast chicken salad and chopped apple and craisins to my tuna and chicken salad.
Personally trying to decode this. I don’t consume suger, highly manufactured products, alcohol, rarely any dairy, Not overweight. I am so puzzled to be dealing with FLD. Frustrated.
Thanks for your comment
Hemochromatosis maybe
Same here. Super frustrating!!
What about people like myself who dont eat sugar, eat low carb and no processed food, yoga, walking , strength training, sleep 8hrs , no alcohol and my cholesterol is up and i have fatty liver.
I am aware of what healthy eating is
CosMc’s -
Foie Gras is a French delicacy made of duck liver. Before slaughter, over some weeks ducks are force-fed with mostly maize/corn to develop a big, fat liver.
😢
Vile ,shameful torture
Yum
Corn is processed in so many of our foods: corn starch, corn syrup etc. That is why processed foods should be avoided as much as possible
😢…sad the way people torture ducks and animals just for $$s.
For the pass 6 years, I alternate between keto, low carb high fat, ketovore, carnivore and always gluten-free. My AST/ALT are in the teens and triglyceride is 42. I don't have fatty liver.
What’s the difference between Keto and ketovore?
@@emh8861 Keto more eggs, no carb veggies less meat.
ketovore is Keto with more fatty meat or beef.
I found what best works for me is a zero carb diet. Its nearly all meat through out the week and on the weekends i allow myself a 10 gram carb limit. Prior i did keto for a few years, didn't lose any weight. I was 220 pounds. Stopped eating vegetables and lost 50 pounds in a few months.
Yeah, for me, it is eating almost all salmon or shrimp and avocadoes with a side of cruciferous veggies. Drinking lemon water all day with cucumbers, ginger and mint. For some reason, that seems to really help me lose weight.
Have you had an ultrasound of your liver and blood liver enzymes lately? Very interested to know how you're doing! I hope well!
@tanyita5846 idk about the OP but all my bio markers have improved. 😊👍
U need to also address the number of skinny people getting this stuff
Yes!!! I am a skinny one. I have damage from autoimmune hepatitis but at some point from too much coconut oil and coconut milk use, I developed fatty liver. Everything I looked up had to do with weight loss when I'm not overweight. It was so frustrating. Thankfully, I cut out the culprits, and I no longer have it, but yes, skinny people getting NAFLD needs addressed.
@@melissamccumbee8121 - what did you cut out and what do you think you were using too much?
Thanks x
@@elizabethwinsor-strumpetqueen She said coconut oil and coconut milk. I guess that was too much fat for her liver, just my opinion
I just found out I have it !they were taking a CT scan. I have a kidney stone and discovered I have fatty liver and fatty pancreas. I’m not really over weight OK maybe 10-15 pounds tops and now that I’ve changed things up I dont feel like my pancreas hurts sanymore.😮
Good for you!
Did you have blood glucose issues?
@@curiouskitten yes I did, but not severe. I find my glucose really spikes when I have any carbs.?
Thank you for this program, it has educated and inspired me! Many good ideas for living strategies,too. The book sounds great!
Sugar is...addictive...
I know, I am addicted to sugar.. I cant..can not..have one doughnut or cupcake. I will eat 6...
So you can't say that everyone can eat certain things in moderation..
For some of us, it just doesn't work...
You are just plain greedy !!
It might be systemic Candida overgrowth...it secretes chemicals that make you crave what feeds it. Candida produces 100 different toxins.
When You have cravings, say F. U to the Candida, which poisons you! Breathe deep & slow, Drink 1/2 glass if water & go for a walk, dance, stretch.. picks up your mood.
@@wendycarter5718 Not helpful!
That’s me with rice or pasta. I just don’t have it very often.
Thank you so much Dhru for your amazing work. You're truly changing lives.
Good stuff. Americans are being preyed upon. When you travel to other countries that are healthier the main thing you see is less consumption. They just plain eat less. Now they also eat healthier stuff but often times its stuff they tell us not to eat here - like MEAT! Cheese, dairy, etc
With all due respect to time you've given to your professions to help others.
My 2 cents worth: Most liver problems in today's society & with general health is mostly caused by the hideous foods that are put out for people to eat due to the additives in foods or lack of vitamins in veggies and fruits to do depleted soils in Big Agri. .
Whole foods and organic are too expensive for many. In most other countries you don't find as many health issue as in USA... they don't allow the herbicides, GMO's, vaccines or medicine in animals going to market as is permitted in USA.... Many countries won't allow our foods or meat into their country because of this. I know that's simplified but it's the truth.
Most all our food is contaminated or depleted soil with no nurishment for plants by Big Agr.!!! and REFINED everything... Fluroide in water. It's slowly coming out (Back to the Future) Raw milk, saturated fats, eggs and grass fed animals are as they have always been, the best for our natural bodies !!!! SUGAR, that's another issue.... THEY put it in most everything you buy and most of time it's not whole cane sugar but processed & turned to poison.
PeaceOut
💯%
It's criminal.
‘Bio-Available-Iodine’ “dissolves fat” on a cellular level. An amazing health “hack”. Place a few drops on the inner wrist (above the veins)(rubbing wrist together, heats the skin slightly, quickly absorbed, total-ish cellular absorption in a moments time; wham bam, thank you mam!!!
Wow. Thanks for that. I have some I was putting under tongue , I'll try this. But it made me think of how unhealthy it is for people who use perfume and dab it on and rub wrists together -toxic & right into bloodstream😮.
Way too many ads
How can it be that many of the foods we deem unhealthy or undesirable in the US are staples of the diet in other healthier countries - all the different and fatty parts of animals, variety of animals, fermented foods, snails, pork - its like everything they swear we shouldnt eat here in the US…kinda makes u wonder
Fatigue don't feel like doing anything when is a weekend you don't feel happy
But aif you are someone who already has a fatty liver or even fibrosis or cirrhosis, and you want to try to reverse it, you do not want to be having that 1 tablespoon of honey per day. You would do better to give up all forms of sugar and carbs in order to heal the liver.
What about MILK THISTLE to help repar the liver?
😂 "I only use Agave" 😂 Agave, for the uninformed is roughly 78% fructose. So about as bad as it gets. It's also the reason tequila can make you drunker faster than other same proof alcohols. Some of the remaining sugars are acted up on immediately, as the liver places fructose and alcohol at the same priority, which allows for slower clearing of the alcohol, which means higher blood concentration.
After an argument with my husband...it takes me almoat 2 days to get re regulated
I had a scan and they found fatti liver along with other issues. Gall stones, 1 kidney stone, and a cyst on my kidney.
You've interviewed people like Bruce lipton on the psychological and spiritual perspective of health and others in regards to nutritional side of things...I am curious to what your take is on health in relation to the different perspectives Dhru ?
Husband has cirrhosis non alcohol kind stage 4. Can it be reversed?
Yes, check out Dr Ken Berry
Also, look into Dr Burt Berkson. I've been using alpha lipoic, milk thistle, and selenium to reverse as well as keep the liver enzymes in range for my autoimmune hepatitis.
Yes it can be reversed. Cut out all sugars and processed food immediately. Continue not drinking alcohol. Don’t eat fruit since fructose is a form of sugar. Do an extended fast. My AST levels were at 318 back in late November. Normal levels should be between 11-51. I was over 6 times the healthy levels. My ALT levels were at 70 and they should be between 13-39. That was a little over 2 months ago. I immediately did a 108 hour fast (4.5 days) then I did grass fed grass finished steak once a day. So that’s 23 hours fasting and 1 hour eating. I would also do a 36-48 hour fast once a week. So for the last 9 weeks I would eat about 7 meals a week (on weekends I would eat an extra steak as a reward. In my 1 hour window I would eat grass fed grass finished beef, free range chicken eggs, wild caught fish and raw milk. I would have some tudca and milk thistle every now and then. My levels are now ALT- 41 and AST-20. My doctor called me the first time and wanted me to get an ultrasound and possibly get on a liver transplant list. When I was younger I knew about fasting and how it cures all types of diseases so I did some more research. It’s so much easier to come across that knowledge thanks to technology. I told my doctor over the phone on his first call that I was going to change my diet. He said that was not enough. Fast forward to late January after my blood test when I got my results through my doctors offices portal he couldn’t even call me, he had a nurse call me to tell me the good news. Idk man most doctors want you sick 💰. I hope this helps
Yes it can be revers you have to introduce in your diet burdock tea every morning on empty stomach and possibility you have to take medication for parasites
I cured stage 4 cirrhosis with fasting, 250mgs a nite Melatonin and sacchoromyces boulardii yeast probiotic in 4 months I had 3 needle biopsys to confirm this I was given a gamma globulin shot for a bacterial infection in 1981 before the blood supply was screened the doc gave me Hep B and C
Hello, respected sir very nice suggestions for Gut health issues with huge under weight issues and liver health issues
I drink chicory coffee partly because I am a slow metabolizer of caffeine. I've wondered if there's any health benefit of the chicory. I believe it is a prebiotic.
Iron overload is often overlooked as a contributor to FLD and inflammation. Phlebotomy is an easy and low cost control to high stored iron in the body.
Thank you. Excellent job. Good information 👍
Is milk thistle good to take for the liver? If so, how much and how often?
The physician said that there is no evidence that Milk Thistle helps to detox the liver.
So much science, but no cure. Science is a religion.
Help! I went on a keto/modified carnivore diet to reduce my sugar. That worked within six months but my cholesterol is high (265) and my liver enzymes are high.
Wow thank you for the time you take to educate us 🙏
Great podcast but the doctors did ‘t talk much about dietary issue with de compensated cirrhosis, all my blood works perfect results but I have HE
Overloaded with sugar. Consuming too much SUGARS!!! THANKS
Isn't it any wonder people turn to eating the carnivore diet? No sugar, fructose, carbs and super processed food... but just eating what the human body was designed to eat. Have a look at Dr Shawn Baker and Dr Anthony Chafee...both carnivores for years and both fine healthy looking specimens. Wow!
Fasting and going low carb while avoiding sugar and alcohol fixes it.
Wow. What a fantastic informationfor the 3 of you. Blessings
Too bad the doctor's audio is so bad.
Some good info but waaaay too long. 2 hours but same could have been said it 20 minutes.
Not really.
Why are so many on here complaining about getting information.....if you don't want to hear it .... bye-bye.
@@davidcorbit3931 Such a silly comment. If you don't want to read it :bye-bye"
The best part is when your primary tells you fatty liver is no big deal because it's more common than we think 😑. I had no idea that high triglycerides were an indicator. I only found out after being scanned for a kidney stone.
My Chinese medical doctor prescribed me Hawthorne bark tea for nafld, I drink it regularly and feel very well
waiting for the Kindle version
How is it reversable. Ee know it can. Just day HOW. Get to the point
Very educative, thank you all
Foie gras means fatty liver … yes!
What does the doctor mean "early enough"? Tks for such an excellent and important video!!
So many ads 😏… great talk tho.
Only carb without sugar plus fiber is vegetables
Thank u so much for this information.these day we hardly see the doctor and they don’t let us see the blood result
Yup, 'fatty liver' is 'foie gras' in French - speaking of the condition..... (how can anyone eat the stuff, let alone call it a delicacy?? never understood this! not to speak abnout the animal cruelty associated with it)
Why many people talk about type of food that harm people
Why can more intellectual people and the government too
Ask or communicate with the food industry which people rely on it
For the sake of the people health, can they cut down the additive, high in processed foods and save people life
People are too busy working for living and they don’t pay attention about the quality of food
🙏🙏🙏 please find a way to communicate to the food industry
They are more interested in profit than our health needs
I had my gallbladder removed several years ago. How does the removal of the gallbladder affect the liver?
My husband and I have both had our gallbladders removed. We were told that everything would resume as per usual. What we never were told, and later learned, is that it can impact your inability to metabolize fat soluble vitamins. You need sufficient bile to absorb things like vitamin d3 for instance. I was deficient in so many things. When you do not have a gallbladder, your liver has the duty of producing bile. There is no stores built up in a gallbladder. Sometimes the liver doesn’t wind up producing adequately enough. Taking digestive enzymes is helpful. Also taking liquid supplements.
Such a important n lovely health talk. I want to point out even Alcoholism is seem to be the product of liver problem at genetic level. So if anybody has susceptible alcoholism predisposition due to genetic liver issues it wud be wise not to touch alcohole or drugs to aviod alcoholism n addiction. Once someone is addictive its v difficult to abstain or take it moderately.
My son is 18 and has 105 ast and 157 alt. He has hyper pigmentation in his lower body. I do not see any symptoms.
He is idle cos he has adhd.
He doesnt drink coffee.
He and my elder son are high on carbs badly and keep drinking sugary drinks.
I wept today cos i am worried and i dont know how to handle this.
I am a lone mom.i am gonna start him with milk thistle, turmeric, nac, selenium, omega 3 in moderate amounts cos everhhting is so expensive. I have some choline as well.
Can i use cacao powder to make something with erythritol to help him have some sweet sensation.
Any suggestions to me please help.
He does not eat veggies and fruits. I dont know how and what.
He loves meat.
I want to give him some beef liver once a week so that we can see some changes to his liver.
I myself did a liver cleanse two months ago for 5 days.
Do not substitute sugar with erythritol, it is a sugar alcohol. Also damages the liver (like alcohol). Try 1/2 once of olive oil & 1/2 once of lemon juice and pinch of cayenne pepper in an empty stomach. Stabilizes liver enzymes.
Humble request to share some more raw Fruits for better Gut health issues and huge under weight issues and passing stool just after every meal and every urination frequent urination
Don't deceive yourself fruits have a lot of sugar. Frequent urination is one of the known symptoms of diabetes.
What kind of doctor specializes in fatty liver disease or health of the liver?
Hepatologist
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Tell me how the "rice diet" reverses diabetes.
The root cause of liver disias is ”leuky gut”.Like all disiases.
It starts with the liver/stomach disfunction
No it's sugar.
What about olive oil and ACV in reversing MAFLD? and also the role of saturated in De nova lipogenesis.
Nir light nac glycine castor oil packs lemons broccoli sprouts sun and exercise keto low carb intermittent fasting
What is the name of the book?
Has anyone correlated the invention and proliferation of high-fructose corn syrups and the epidemic of NAFLD? Seems that sucrose had widespread use long before this particular phenomenon.
Not interested in your patients,, just get to the point. Say it as it is. No stories about people we dont know
If you don't like it then don't watch it.
I saw a boozy bloke wearing a T shirt with the logo on his back... "The liver is evil and must be punished".
The RD talked way too much and sounded like a salesperson or promoter. Would do good in show business. Would have liked to hear more from the doctor.
What about pesticides on plant foods
Thanks!
If sugar (carb) is the culprit, then most veganism advocates and followers (high carb, low fat) should be FLD patients but somehow this is not case, they’re healthier when it comes to liver disease compared to other who follow other diet.
There are plenty of vegetarians that have metabolic problems. I know I have been a vegetarian for 40+ years. After a 2 year gradual transition I am now completely carnivore so I know the damage that can be done by eating only plants.
on this show they speak too fast, not calm.
Ok. I’m into this video 57 minutes. Dhru is asking the right questions but lm not getting the answers.
Dhru why did u not fix the guest's poor sound coming from his office space ? It sounded like he was in a tunnel.
Overall, the podcast was not great. The most important part was the 12 foods that helps fatty liver but you did not go over each food.
Improvement is needed.
They didn't mention that the liver and pancreas are coupled organs and if you want to improve your liver function you should improve your pancreas function. Also coffee enemas are one of the best ways to flush out the liver.
I was interested in this topic and then saw that beautiful lady. Such a beautiful face and eyes. Most guys will agree.
Why don't you call it sugar and carb addiction?
NAFLD doesn't exist in Japan, Russia and Europe, only AFLD. They all have only natural foods.
Does or is drinking highfructose sugar bad
And the kids think this s🎉&$ is normal. My kids hate me and sarcastically call me the sugar sheriff. Sugar really fructose is an evil molecule.
My kids hate me too 😭
Yep...
Sugar Sheriff! Love it; wear it as a badge of honour!
I was told that if you have fatty liver you don't want to take anything with oils
You can have a body that does not drink alcohol, nor fruit juice, no soda, nor junk food, no breads, no desserts, no honey, no processed foods, low carbs, and still get fatty liver. We still do not have an understanding of all the causes for this metabolic syndrome. Be careful on how you characterize the disorder. Be honest about not knowing everything about the cause of this problem. We do not know everything about the cause of this problem. Going low carb and getting sugar out is the first step to metabolic health. It works with some. Not all.
Again, and again and again, I have asked if anyone knows anything about Crohn's Disease, when talking about how to eat healthy?? Ok my brother died of fatty liver disease; I have Crohn's disease, I cannot eat the fiber without being in pain. I can't digest "healthy fats" because of the crohn's, and because I don't have my gall bladder anymore. Every time I hear someone talking about eating "healthy" nuts and seeds I cringe! Please, please, please talk about crohn's disease and how to manage it without mentioning biologics and steroids and the like. There has to be on this planet, food that is healthy and contains bio-available nutrients, vitamins and minerals our bodies need to function properly, that we can digest and facilitate. WHY doesn't anyone talk about Crohn's Disease????
Just on TH-cam alone there are a bunch of videos about it. Maybe it's one of those hard to treat conditions? I have a recurring foot issue/injury that fits the too hard category. It sucks to not be able to walk. Lot's of talk, too few solutions.
Check out Dr Anthony Chaffee and Kelly Hogan’s (My Zero Carb Life) Stop eating plants. Stop eating carbs and let your colon heal. Only eat fish, meat and eggs. And cut out ALL meds. My father had Crohns but completely reversed it by eating that way. Good luck.
Keep it up!
PCOS please! My doctor has no help for me
I had PCOS it's no fun. I cured it by losing about a stone in weight, cutting the fizzy drinks and snacks. It can be done but you have to lose weight. I wasn't much overweight but it still made a difference losing 15 pounds. They say having PCOS makes you put on weight, but I think it's the other way round. Good luck
Great info but ive been listening for an hour and a quarter and you keep mentioning ' the book'. Nobody has said yhe name of the book or even your names so i can find it.
What about TUDCA?
Me too!!!
Have been feeling sick for years...
Butt!!!!! Tests mostly normal.
Til liver enzymes tested...
Talking about eating a donut... she's wrong in some cases. For some of us with food addiction it's like touching alcohol. Sugar hits the brain like other substances including alcohol and heroin according to research.
Without sugar it is likely that it would cut alcoholism and drug addiction numbers by at least half and probably by more than that.
How do you know it
Why is this vidro tagged eith a pharma advertizing of cold and sinus medication
The male doc should find a better audio system is very difficult to understand cause his way of talking.
The reference she made about the Japanese women and breast cancer wasn't correct. The increase in breast cancer for those women was 100% because of the decline in IODINE in their diet when the diet changed. Japanese people eat the most Iodine than anyone else in the world and they have the lowest cancer rates because of it; especially breast cancer.
What can I do ...I have 61% fatty liver?...
