Kind: captions Language: en today I'm going to talk about the fastest way that you can reverse a fatty liver naturally and you can do this without expensive medications by using a simple diet and some lifestyle changes but first I need to explain to you what is a fatty liver and why it's important to avoid it and if you have it why you need to deal with it all right ready let's go ahead and Dive Right In so the first question is what is a fatty liver right the liver is one of the most important organs in your body and a fatty liver is a potentially dangerous condition where your liver becomes clogged with excess fat and this prevents the liver from doing its job and that job is to serve as your body's detoxification organ so you probably heard about detoxes right um in like a detox spa or detox protocol your liver does it all the time now let's talk a little bit about your liver your liver is one of the largest organs in the body it weighs about three pounds all right um so that's heavier than a couple of sets of tennis shoes and it sits in the upper right quadrant of your belly just underneath your ribs all right like right around here and in addition to detoxing your blood your liver also makes key proteins that allow your blood to clot if you ever get an injury so you don't bleed out and that's a really important function so your liver actually cleans the blood detoxifies BL takes out all the toxins and it makes proteins in order to be able to collot your blood should you actually have an injury now the liver does another thing which is that it makes bile bile is an acid that breaks down food for better digestion and you need it to be able to digest your food especially fatty foods and your liver stores the bile in another organ that's located right next door to it right underneath it actually and that's called the gallbladder all right so if you ever hear of um uh someone having gall stones uh that's actually little stones that can actually form in your gallbladder the gallbladder sitting underneath and just kind of slightly behind the the liver uh gall stones that happens uh the other thing you've probably heard of perhaps is gallbladder cancer and that's often a cancer of the ducks that connect the gallbladder to the liver that's a really nasty type of cancer very difficult to actually treat but here you actually have this incredible system that under healthy conditions forms a detox function creates proteins that actually help your blood clot and produces bile to help you help you digest all right now let's talk a little bit about this detox function because every single drop of blood in your body every uh ounce of blood that your heart pumps out right injs it right onto your uh body has to go through your liver and your liver will kind of scrub the blood out of all the toxins and this is includes any toxins that you might have been exposed to from the environment and that could be from your shampoo that could be from uh chemicals uh in your food uh could be from medications could be from the alcohol that you're actually drinking your liver has got to actually clean it all out and by the way for alcohol that's why if you drink a lot of alcohol the alcohol which is poison to your cells can knock out the liver and that's how you hear about alcoholic curosis that's too much alcohol poisoning the liver knocking out the detox function and now your liver starts to scar that's what the therosis means so alcoholic curosis is actually the basically booze knocking out your liver so then you can't detox anymore and you can tell when somebody's actually very very sick when they don't actually have their detox function to liver they turn yellow they actually can have seizures they have mental status changes it's bad all right so back to the healthy liver the healthy liver is crucial for your health all right so what could go wrong besides the alcohol I just mentioned well fatty liver can occur when you continuously overc consume food now you probably have overc consumed food as of I and so you're thinking like well wait a minute I've overeaten sometimes does that mean I've got fatty liver well not necessarily let me tell you how this works when you actually eat food your food is actually your body's fuel right and that that fuel gets stored in your body uh because your body needs energy now some of the fuel is in the blood so you can actually just use that fuel right away some of the fuel gets put into your muscle all right so that your muscle can actually be AC all right muscles need fuel um some of the extra fuel gets stored in your fat cells these are cells called adipocytes adipose meaning fat adipocytes meaning the cells that make up fat those are your storage tanks your fuel tanks like the fuel tanks of your car those are the fuel tanks uh for energy in your body and uh anything excess actually winds up getting stored in the liver you know why because the liver's got to clean it all up all right right so overeating uh can actually cause fatty liver if you actually really overwhelm your storage capacity all right so here let me explain a little bit more for this to when you sit down for a meal your metabolism is hardwired to perform in a particular way as I said food is a fuel for our body the way that gasoline is fuel for your car and just like a car you're probably not paying any attention to the fuel gauge until until something actually happens uh and the fuel gauge tells you that you're running on empty low on gas and then what happens right if you're driving a car once your uh fuel gauge reads Low or near empty all you can do is to think about actually getting to a gas station a filling station to be able to get more fuel or petrol depending on where you're living all right we look for a filling station well our bod fuel gauge when it's running low tells us to look for our fuel for our body and that's food it tell our brain we got to find some fuel which is food and then we got to go sit down to eat you ever get really really hungry you know that hanger kind of feeling or kind of jittery feeling and you just feel like man I I got to find something to eat that's actually the fuel gauge in your body saying we need some gas all right we need to actually fill up okay now when you're eating a normal meal the energy from that food that we eat gets swallowed it goes into the stomach and it gets absorbed in the stomach goes into our blood stream and then that energy all right which can be blood glucose is brought into our cells now the metabolism system that brings that energy into our cells normally H uses insulin now insulin is a a hormone made by your pancreas another organ that lives right next door to your liver actually so here you have the pancreas that makes the insulin the liver that detoxes the blood the gallbladder underneath it that actually helps digestion you get it like this whole system sits underneath our ribs on the right side that's the liver left side is where the pancreas is and the stomach is very very important they the insulin made by the pancreas um actually draws blood glucose into your cells um whether it's muscle whether it's fat cells and the fat cells uh produce another hormone called adipine adipo fat comes from fat made by the fat adip conc actually works hand inand with insulin these are Partners uh and Insulin works better you have better insulin sensitivity better able to bring in the blood glucose when these hormones are working together you need adnectin you need insulin in order to be able to have an efficient metabolism to draw that blood glucose into your body into your muscles all right and anything left over that needs to be stored goes right into your body fat your fuel tank to get it stored all right in fact your body fat is one of the primary areas where the fuel is stored as I mentioned to you fat cells are like the fuel tanks of your uh body the same way that a gas uh fuel tank in your car is is how your car stores uh its energy now by the way this fuel that I'm talking about that comes from the food we eat it's what powers the body to do any kind of activity whether it's doing a laundry whether you're cooking of course if you're going to the the gym and working out uh you're in a hurry you're running down the airport to catch a flight but actually just even living and breathing and existing everything takes energy and that's why this whole idea of eating food for energy and getting it stored in our body into our fat cells into our muscle in a little bit running around our blood is absolutely critical for us to just stay alive all right now during the day uh your metabolism is hardwired to FOC Focus its activities on storing fuel in the body right so it's sensing you know it's daytime going to be eating you know however many times you're eating whether it's two or three times a day or maybe some snacks you're going to be eating so your body is sort of sitting there ready to actually bring fuel in without a dip inced insulin being able to pull that energy into the cells to store fill up the tank all right that's during the day during the night when you're sleeping your body senses you're not eating any more okay and this basically is a period when you're not eating meaning you're sleeping you're also fasting fasting means not eating and during the fasting period at night your body switches gears all right like a Ferrari Switching gears all right from one mode uh which is storing Fuel and Switching gears to another mode which is uh actually burning down fuel from body fat right so when you're sleeping you're actually burning fat it's it's pretty cool and the first place that the body burns fat is in visceral fat visceral fat is the kind of fat that is in the tube of your body all right it's called visceral because the fat is growing around the guts the guts are called viscera all right and this fat actually can grow really really large if you eat if you overeat all right uh and uh and when your visceral fat gets so huge it kind of like forms a glove in around your organs it can actually become inflammatory and inflammatory fat is really dangerous because the inflammation kind of spills out to the rest of the body uh and that set you up for many many chronic diseases all right so what does all this have to do with fatty liver all right now the liver uh will actually store fat if you over consume food meaning the fuel if you load up the muscle all right you load up fat cells all right and you keep on loading up fat cells and the f cells are there's a lot of fat cells so you can keep on loading up the fat cells oh you're still eating let's load another one fill it up by the way every fat cell can expand three times its size 300% all right so you're still eating oh let's go fill up some more fat cells and then some more fat cells and that's oh what a fat cells you know what our body will do let's create some new fat cells new storage tanks using stem cells so our fat Mass actually has stem cells fat stem cells that can just create more fat cells more fuel tanks so you're still eating let's go ahead make some new ones and then make some new ones and make some new ones okay it actually takes a lot of overloading to really bulge out your fat if you get what I'm saying all right because fat can expand a lot up to three times its size um uh but if you continuously overload your uh fuel that's day in and day out week after week year after year check this out I got a free guide on the five drinks to help remove fat from your liver and it's free I walk you through why your liver is so important why you should take care to make sure it's functioning properly in your body and the five drinks I recommend to enjoying to support it all you have to do is click on the link below and enjoy now think about it for most of us we don't actually um start to really indulge in these unhealthy life patterns that we don't realize how unhealthy they are until we get sort of into our adulthood all right but overeating which can start even in childhood if it's repeated as a pattern this is where things get dangerous because what we're always doing is loading and overloading our fat store tanks right and when you actually have way more fuel okay in your fat what's going to happen um and by the way when I say way more way more fuel then you're burning you're going to be accumulating accumulating accumulating fat eventually the fuel will spill out of the fat cells all right so fat will actually uh come out out of the cells goes into the bloodstream and once it's in the bloodstream what did I say the liver does it cleans the blood right so the blood gets pumped right into the liver the liver does its normal job by scrubbing clean the blood and in the case of the liver it'll actually pick up the fat cells and the fat will just live in the liver all right and imagine this right um you're overeating over consuming you're putting more fat into the system you're overloading uh the fat capacity it's spilling out into the bloodstream this is the problem it's kind of like if you had a sink a kitchen sink and you turned on the tab and you ran water into the sink all right there's a drain the drain is actually like um like burning down fat this the spigot in the sink is actually like loading in fuel by eating Foods if you don't drain the water fast enough you don't burn that fat down guess what will happen the sink will fill all the way up fill all the way up and then spill over the side so now you've got basically an overflowed sink on to the kitchen floor and it's everywhere it's a big mess right okay now when this kind of system happens an overflow of fat in your fuel tanks meaning your adapost tissue your fat Mass it spells onto the blood it gets right sent right to the liver and the liver's got to clean it up to detox it and the fat gets trapped in the liver this is actually a big problem because when you got fat trapped in the liver the fat actually takes over the liver all right that is why we call this fat fatty liver I hope that makes sense all right it has to do with eating overeating spilling out the fuel the fat from your fat cells the fuel tanks getting into the blood and that blood gets clean detoxed by the liver but the fat gets stuck in the liver and now you've got a fatty liver and when you have a problem with fatty liver here's the real problem is that the liver can't do its job to detoxify anymore and it can't even produce the proteins that you need to actually uh create blood cloud for example eventually everything will get compromised and this will become dangerous um if you don't actually have your detox organ because then any toxins in your blood will start building up whether it's medication and toxins environmental toxins or chemicals and those toxins will build up in your blood and then every cell in your body will start to suffer because of this buildup of toxin and eventually your liver can fail all right and then you're in really really deep trouble fatty liver uh can cause liver failure and fatty liver is one of the number one causes for the need to have a liver transplant in the United States all right it used to be alcoholism or uh infectious hepatitis now it is actually fatty liver all right so this is something that's actually happened over the last 20 years this Shi from you know alcohol uh and infection all the way into uh really kind of behavior right this is just overe eating eting it's not just overeating it's where you overeating to the point where fat spills out of your fat cells into your bloodstream and it gets clogged in the liver and the liver becomes filled with fat okay so what are some of the symptoms of fatty liver that's kind of important so how do you know you have fatty liver well people who have fatty liver it it this H builds up over a long period of time I'm talking about years you can feel a little tired right fatigue you can feel a little Mala and that's really you're like you're not quite feeling that right kind of sick can't pin down exactly how you're feeling sick you just don't feel right and then eventually when your liver is actually really stressed out and trying to do its job but can't you can actually get pain in your right upper quadrant right that's under right under your ribs on the right hand side okay if you put your hand um right where your ribs are on the right hand side and feel just underneath it like just put your put your palm right there that's where your liver is and you can actually feel pain there when the liver is actually um having a problem uh and in fact it can actually contract and it's not doing a good job um in fact eventually the liver can actually Scar and that becomes therosis right now when the detox function of the liver is compromised guess what happens um you can wind up actually having uh bile buildup in your bloodstream you can actually have liver enzymes build up your skin can turn yellow because of some of these uh but the pigments uh in the bile and in your liver enzymes and when the toxins aren't cleared away and they built up in your skin you're going to see color changes right that's why the skin turns yellow now the whites of the eyes are also a good place to look at evidence for lier failure I I remember you know when we were in medical school we had like a test question which is like what's an easy place to look for signs of liver failure if you don't actually do a blood test well the answer is by looking in the white of the eye you just pull down that lower lid ask him to look up uh you actually see a lot of the white of the the Scara okay of the eye and you'll be able to see instead of white it's actually tinge yellow or even orange and that's when you know there's a clue that this individual is actually having a problem with their liver all right now as I mentioned to you the fat can build up it can build up it can build up and the and it compromises the function of the liver so it it has more and more trouble doing detox and then eventually you'll develop curosis this is a scarring of the liver replacing the the useful liver uh with scar tissue all right and then all these other toxins build up and you have other symptoms and signs and symptoms your skin can get really really itchy because some of the um buildup of toxins actually makes your skin itch the other thing that can happen is that you know when the liver isn't passing fluid smoothly through it because it's damaged and it's scarred down the blood remember I told you blood all the blood your body gets pumped through the liver all right through the portal vein now when that actually doesn't pump blood smoothly anymore because the liver is damaged and scarred the fluid is going to back up all right it's kind of like having hair in your drain all right even if you w't run water in it it's not going to flow smoothly through the drain so what happens the water backs up and that's also what happens in Earth circulation when you actually have um fatty liver severe endstage fatty liver the fluids starts to back up the Blood starts to back up because it can't drain this quickly and guess where it goes it actually starts to build up in your belly so you your belly actually has a space called the parium and the fluid builds it up there it's like basically a leaking sink it builds right up like your peritoneum is a space underneath your sink it just keeps dripping and it's like a big pool underneath there and eventually that uh that backup pressure of that fluid will also build up fluid into the what we call the dependent part of your body which means they legs all right they're lower in Gravity the fluid builds up the the water runs down your legs inside the tissue of your legs and now you've got foot swelling and ankle swelling and calf swelling you've probably seen people with big swollen calves um it's called edema and in fact it's called pitting edema because you can actually press on the Flesh and it'll leave a dimple okay because the fluid is actually just in the space the soft tissue itself the interstitium of the of the tissue got a dimple when you push right in and it'll take a little while for it to come back or you push really hard you want you keep that dimple there all right that's another sign that you might actually have problems with circulation to your liver all right and at the very end stage you know where you have all these toxins building up you're itchy your eyes are yellow your skin is yellow you know your liver enzymes are uh these are from your blood tests are off the charts High all right your remic um you can even have with liver uh kind of a pickling of your brain uh and what you wind up having is an a hepatic which is referring to the liver the liver is so the the hepatic organ uh and sephy opathy which means that when the toxins build up enough because the liver is sick hepatic and seal opathy and sopath refers to the brain now your brain can't function properly you're confused all right and ammonia can build up in fact you can even smell ammonia on their breath these are the things that wind up happening as liver failure progresses right so fatty liver builds up over years all right over a long period of time and what you want to do is to do something about fatty liver before you get to the end at the end you're like really in deep dooo all right and that's like a medical crisis so what are the things that you want to do in order to be able to uh reverse the fatty liver before you get to that end stage oh and by the way there's one other piece of good news I want to actually tell you which is that if you were able to reverse the fatty liver guess what your liver can regenerate so it will replace some of those damaged cells with fresh cells that's amazing and in fact most people don't know this but the liver is one of the most robust regenerating organs in the body you can even take a liver cut 2third of it throw it out all right the onethird that's left if you get a good nice chunk of it will actually regenerate itself over a period of years okay so you liver will regenerate itself all right it's very very resilient to um disease because it's so such an important organ all right but with fatty liver what you want to do is reverse it before you get to that scarring phase you don't want curosis very hard to actually go come back from therosis but if you want to have fatty liver and you want to actually reverse it you just want to burn that fat away burn it burn that fat up liver gets relieved of the burden and it starts to regenerate itself so that's actually the setup for what I'm telling you you want to do in order to be able to reverse fatty liver disease and regenerate your liver so you can get back to detox Health all right your liver is the most powerful detox you could ever possibly have and it does it behind the scenes quietly every single day fatty liver threatens this very important function so let's talk about the five steps that you want to take if you have fatty liver not yet therosis and you want to kind of reverse the situation right keep in mind the most important thing you want to do is to unload your liver from excess body fut you want to burn it off all right so here's a couple of things that you can do uh as first steps right these are things I'm going to tell you things that you can do by yourself uh at home without the help of the medical uh system so the first thing you want to do is extend your natural intermittent fasting window what am I talking about I'm talking about intermittent fasting is a period where um your body uh starts to burn down body fat so when does this actually happen naturally happens naturally at night when you're sleeping when you're sleeping you're not eating when you're not eating is called fasting so when you're sleeping you're fasting and because we don't sleep 24 hours a day all right um we're intermittently sleeping so we're intermittently fasting now let me explain to you something very very important when you're not eating when you're fasting at night your body's burning down body fat it'll burn it from the blood it'll burn it from your fat cells and if you have a fatty liver while you're sleeping good quality sleep you'll actually start burning fat away from your liver as well all right you're taking those steps to reverse fatty liver disease so what you want to do is you want to extend the period of fat burning time okay and and it's really easy to do this let me just explain to you something all right let's say that you sleep eight hours a day that's what we recommend because we know that 7 to8 hours 7 to eight hours you're getting the enough sleep in your body to be able to restore your gut microbiome you're able to actually Clear Flush the toxins from your brain you're able to rebuild your immune system there's all kinds of important things that actually happens um uh while you're sleeping but one of the most important things that's happened when you're sleeping and not eating fasting is that your body will shift gears like like a Ferrari okay uh uh away from storing fat which is what it does during the day storing energy into body fat at night when you're sleeping it shifts gears and it focuses on burning fat burning fat from your fuel tanks all right so when you're sleeping and you're fasting intermittently you're burning fat and you can actually burn it from your liver so what you want to do is extend the time on both sides of the night where you're actually able to get a little bit more fat burning this is an important step if you want to reverse fatty liver okay and something you can do by yourself so let me tell you how to actually do that okay now let's say that you eat dinner at 7 o'clock and you eat for about an hour at 8 o'clock when you're done eating and you put the dishes away that's it don't eat again until the next day all right so let's say that you put the dishes away at 8:00 in the evening you go to sleep at 11:00 I know some of you guys will be going to bed a little bit later some earlier I'm just using this as an example um from 8:00 to 11 o' that's three hours three hours that you're giving yourself your body a chance to burn fat beyond the time of sleeping so let's say you're sleeping from 11 :00 to 7:00 in the morning 11:00 at night to 7:00 a.m. in the morning that's 8 hours right well if you don't eat anything after dinner don't interrupt your body's perception of fasting with a midnight snack bedtime snack nope don't do it all right when the dish is away that's it your body will quickly recognize that you're not eating anymore and so from between 8:00 and 11:00 that's 3 hours now you're going to add that to the 8 hours that you're naturally sleeping from a 7 that's 3 + 8 hours that's 11 hours all right and then if you don't eat anything after you get up in the morning uh let's say for an hour you can don't need anything for for an hour period of time guess what you're going to be doing you're going to expend extend your intermittent fasting window 3 hours plus 8 hours that's 11 hours plus one more hour if you wait an hour before between the time you get up and eat something that's 12 hours 12 out of 24 hours you've spent half your existence half your day in metabolism mode where you're burning down extra body fat so that's something that you might want to consider if you actually have fatty liver give your body more window to be able to burn down that extra body fat all right now if you want to actually push it even further skip breakfast Al together right and don't eat until lunchtime now let's do the math again from 8:00 when you put the dishes away to 11:00 that's 3 hours 11:00 to 7 in the morning that's 8 hours that's 3 plus 8 hours that's 11 hours all right and then from uh 7 in the morning you're not going to eat until lunchtime now you're actually going to extend it to to 11 o' or noon add another 4 hours to it can have an early lunch all right now you've actually fasted for 16 hours right and a lot of people skip breakfast I skip breakfast pretty often I can make it you get a little hungry but that's okay if you just uh focus on something else you'll uh Power right through it and then eat lunch eat lunch at 11 o' or 12:00 um and now you've actually given your body 16 hours of fasting fat burning now if you got fatty liver might be worthwhile for you to try doing that at least a few times a week all right you will burn fat now you're going to get hungry when you do that if you go 16 hours so what I got to tell you is that if you decide to go this route to fast for 16 hours take advantage of your evening time and then the shoulder time between uh before bedtime and then afterwards in the morning don't over eat when you finally sit down to eat all right for lunch you're going to be hungry you're going to want to overeat do not overeat remember fatty liver can result from overeating definitely don't want to keep making that fatty liver worse so you got to have enough discipline that when you finally sit down to eat you do not overeat here's what I say take only 50% of what you would normally load onto the plate 50 5 Z all right so you're not going to be eating a lot and eat slowly because when you eat slowly you'll get this you know you'll be able to Savor the Flavors and enjoy the food but it'll actually give you time to allow your stomach to signal to your brain that you've got food there and it's time to slow down your appetite so if you eat slowly and you don't eat too much um you'll actually taper off uh and and that way you won't overload your body and make the fatty liver problem even worse all right so that's my uh kind of like little uh Pro tip for you on how to actually uh expand your uh fasting window natural fasting window to burn down harmful uh body fat now if you're thinking thinking like you know what that's asking a lot uh I don't know if I want to fast all morning uh after fasting in the evening let me just tell you if you got fatty liver it's a serious health problem you might want to do everything in your power in order to burn away some of that extra body body fat that's stuck in your liver unpack your liver so it can actually recover itself you definitely don't want to head towards the liver transplant that is something that you definitely don't want all right so this makes uh uh fatty liver something you can actually recover from and intermittent fasting is a worthwhile and pretty easy way to achieve it all right now what's the second thing you can do well start exercising right now think about this you've heard about the old adage calories in and calories out well you're actually not spitting out calories you're burning down the calories right so energy in fuel in and you're burning down the fuel all right so to burn down excess body fat and unload your liver cuz some of that fat stuck in your liver you need just need to burn some more calories uh you can eat less but you want to burn some more calories and if you're have fatty liver take this really really seriously all right how do you actually you know get on your feet um and exercise listen if you're motivated to do it Go For It Go by yourself you can join a gym uh join an exercise group or maybe consider a higher iring a trainer to at least get you in a right direction and get a program growing that you can actually stick with all right but hitting the gym by the way is not the only way to get exercise all right you should take the approach that any kind of physical activity all right as long as you like make an activity is really really important anything that you do to stay in motion will actually help burn calories what I like to tell people to do is you know like if you're not an exerciser and you've got fatty liver Hey listen take a brisk walk every single day twice a day all right do it once in the morning U you know walk for half an hour briskly all right where you're really getting your heart rate up a little bit hard to actually have a whole conversation when you're walking in a brisk walk do it for 30 minutes you're going to be burning down some of that extra harmful body fat okay you do it before breakfast you can do it after breakfast and then do it after dinner right so you've just eaten dinner and now you're actually going to burn away some extra body fat um that's great all right now you've given a Kickstart to what's going to happen uh at night after you fall asleep and when you're intermittently fasting other little tips of things that you can do go play a sport uh if you like tennis go ahead and get it on tennis court but even pingpong all right you could do that in a basement all right is actually a good way to uh burn down fat I don't know if you've seen like people who really get in a ping pong that break into a sweat that's a good sign you're burning down extra body fat here's another no-brainer if you're going any place take the stairs every single time ditch the elevator take the stairs obviously you want to make sure you're in good enough shape to take the stairs and I'm not telling you to take 20 flights of steps but you know if you're going up a couple of flights go ahead and take the stairs or if you're you know uh in a shopping center and there's an escalator versus stairs take the stairs you're going to be burning down body fat every opport opportunity you can do that to try try to burn uh some body fat all right sit as little as possible now I know in today's world most of us are sitting down and working at the computer most of the time you got fatty liver got to take it seriously you got a serious medical condition you definitely don't want a liver transplant you definitely don't want your liver to fail you definitely don't want to lose your detox function of your liver it's worth it all right get on your feet uh do something that keeps you in motion all right um listen ballroom dancing is another way great way to actually uh get moving and it actually can do it fun with other people and so now it's also so social activity uh as well but I will tell you something and you might be surprised at this any kind of motion is a is better than no motion so uh Studies have been done by the way of even fidgeting you know tap tap tap tap tap or shaky the leg or tapping your knee shaking your knee you know like some people get really annoyed when other people do that but that even that if you're sitting and you shake your knee like I'm doing right now that burns down calories that burns down body fat all right um so I wrote about this in my book eat to be your diet um it's quite surprising but any kind of motion will actually um start to burn away a little extra body fat so a lot of ways to burn down fat burn away calories this can help to reverse fatty liver disease all right and these are one this is just like one life-saving action you can take is to get into motion remember you are saving your body's detox organ you have to do this and by the way if you're somebody who's you know interested in longevity and uh uh and you want to add more years ahead of you uh as many years as you can get then you really got to work to reverse your fatty liver all right it's not going to turn out well for you and you're definitely not going to reach your longevity goals if you don't actually address this this is why I'm making this video super important these are steps easy steps you can actually take um doesn't require a lot doesn't it's not expensive to do this you but you got to do it all right okay number three thing third thing you can actually do uh if you want to actually um start to reverse fatty liver one thing you can do is super easy giving you the easy stuff that doesn't cost money all right drink a tall glass of cold water before every meal all right right so whether it's breakfast lunch dinner oh wait I think I told you you're going to skip breakfast right before lunch and dinner just pour yourself a tall glass of cold water all right and here's why Studies have shown that when you drink cold water all right cold water goes in your stomach now your core temperature cools down there are sensors temperature sensors thermostats in your stomach that reads o man we're like really cold our core temperature is cooling off we got to warm up all right and so to warm up uh after sensing cold temperature your uh your body turns on a process called thermogenesis thermal for heat Genesis generating heat so your body wants you generate heat and where do you think the the body generates heat from it generates heat from a special kind of fat called Brown fat well hello if you're looking to take control of your health and you want to use food as medicine to optimize your health then I invite you to check out my eat to be disease course I personally developed all the materials it is fully online and packed with practical science-based strategies and everyday tips that you can start using right away to boost your body's natural defenses that protect your health and fight disease so whether you're wanting to prevent a disease or overcome one or whether you just want to feel your best my e disease course has everything you need to make powerful changes in your life learn learn more about it by clicking the link below Brown fat is a special kind of fat that's different than white fat white fat is the wiggly jiggly lumpy bumpy stuff Brown fat is Wafer thin and it's not wiggly jiggly it's really thin and it's plasted around your neck a little bit uh behind your breast bone between your shoulder blades a little bit in your in your belly all right and cold temperatures will fire up ignite this brown fat to burn uh to burn down a body fat because in order to generate heat it needs fuel Brown fat will steal the fuel from the excess white fat and now you're going to eventually start to unpack unburden your liver your fatty liver as well and by the way it's cold temperature thing uh with the cold drinking water um and turning on thermogenesis um that leads to weight loss burning down fat this is actually also why um taking a daily cold plunge will will also work as well I don't encourage that unless you're somebody that's really into a cold plunge I don't like to go plunged into cold water uh it's too rough on my body and by the way I if you're thinking about doing a cold plune I strongly recommend that you speak with your medical doctor your healthcare provider about it because not everyone's going to tolerate a cold plunge um uh well especially if you have cardiovascular disease you might not want to do that but cold temperatures cold core temperatures in your stomach from drinking a tall glass of cold water will trigger the sensors in your body to say warm up they'll turn on thermogenesis from your brown fat and in order to generate that heat it'll actually Ed the fuel and steal the fuel from uh fat fatty tissue including fatty liver and now you'll begin to burn down exra excess body fat all right so uh uh this is actually something that's really cool but it's not just cold temperatures or cold water that can do this there are even foods you can eat and I wrote about these Foods Foods in eat to beat your diet my my book um that actually can turn on Brown fat as well but here's what I'm telling you right now with in this video I'm trying to tell you what you can actually do without putting extra calories in your body all right to burn down some of that extra body fat when it comes to fatty liver you really really want to cut down overall on your calories even with healthy food all right no matter where the calories come from all right now here's the other thing about drinking a glass of water all right and this this doesn't have to do with temperature it has to do with volume when you actually glug down a tall glass of water you're going to be filling up your stomach right so think about your stomach like a like a balloon uh that doesn't have any air or anything else in it and you remember making water balloons you pull open the the the end of the balloon and you stretch it around the faucet the spigot you turn on the spigot water will flow in there what's going to happen you're going to stretch out the walls of the balloon it's going to EXP expand so think about your stomach as a balloon that you're filling with water when you're drinking glass of water and what happens when the balloon expands it stretches now your stomach has special receptors sensors that are called stretch receptors as well and when you activate the stretch receptors by drinking a glass of water filling up your stomach you'll send your stomach will send a signal to your brain that tells your brain yeah you're kind of full all right and your brain starts to shut down your appetite turns down your appetite doesn't kill it direct completely but it actually makes makes you feel less hungry when you feel less hungry you're less likely to overeat uh because you're kind of feeling like you're full before you've even begun eating all right now this is the actual thing that you uh want to know is that drinking a glass of water before a meal that's an easy thing right just have that glass pour that glass before you before you start eating any food now one additional thing I to tell you drinking a glass of water before a meal isn't just because it's a beverage when it comes to your fatty liver it's actually a way to burn down extra body fat while at the same time decreasing your appetite which can be a really really helpful thing all right the key to tipping the scales towards reversing fatty liver disease is not to actually overload the liver with yet even more fat cut that down eat less do more burn down that fat and you'll start to reverse course all right what you want to do is Backtrack on the problem that started by burning more fat all right that's the whole exercise thing as a thermogenesis thing but you also want to eat less as well does that make sense okay now the fourth thing that you can actually do all right and this is a no-brainer if you want to reverse fatty liver you got to cut down on your calories I kind of mentioned this before it's actually not to overeat all right um but one thing you can actually do to really kind of focus on not overloading yourself with calories is cut out the carbs now I'm somebody that um tries to encourage people to embrace food including carbs enjoy your meals you know get pleasure out of it um you know like be a foodie enjoy the food that you're eating but when the case of fatty liver disease you got a serious health problem man you got to really work on this and so I'm not afraid to tell you to take a little bit of a more a a a deliberate and more aggressive step by cutting out the carbs and this means eliminating bread Bagels pasta snack foods like chips Pizza cakes cookies cut all that stuff out all right these carbs are source of fuel that loads up your fat cells all right which is exactly what you don't need when you're dealing with fatty liver all right so cut down or cut out altogether the carbs in your diet all right and the key thing is you're going to swap up the carbs uh put other nutrient-dense foods like plant-based Foods they're going to get it meet your body's nutritional needs and some of the polyphenols in foods like spinach and tomatoes and kale and broccoli uh onions they will actually turn on thermogenesis to help you burn down extra body fat as well all right this is why by the way switching uh to meals away from carbs to include most whole plant-based Foods that's the way to go for overall health again you're going to get polyphenols chlorogenic acid the coronoid like lycopene elic acid proanthocyanidins these will actually um activate your body's ability to burn down harmful body fat improve your metabolism turn up um your energy all right fuel all right U burning down Fuel and you're going to get those micronutrients as well from the plants dietary fiber is something that also comes from Whole plant-based foods that actually gets down to your stomach helps your gut um uh Health your Healthy microbiome uh and plus the plants can give you all the macro and micronutrients that you actually need plant-based foods are also sours of calories by the way so um you just got to be careful about how much you consume now some of them uh have a lot of carbs like beans for example now beans are normally super super healthy I encourage people to eat beans all the time but if you have fatty liver disease you want to cut down on those extra carbs because that's actually one way to uh not overeat not overload your liver not make a problem that's already bad even worse all right now if you need help figuring out how to design a proper low carb diet for a fatty liver disease you might want to think about Consulting with a nutritionist all right just to get a little guidance at the beginning to help you design what's the right way to go forward all right and be very very careful but by what you see online when it comes to nutrition much more reliable if you work with somebody who's a professional a trained nutrition expert to help you with a diet for fatty liver disease you don't want to be monkeying around with a disease State and by the same time with with your diet you don't want to take like an amateur hour you know somebody who's got false information misinformation and steer you down the wrong path in this case with fatty liver disease I strongly um uh encourage you to look for a nutritionist to consult with you can ask your doctor if there's one that he or she can recommend all right note by the way I'm not rattling off a whole list of foods that you can't eat right now that you can bit in your diet because when you got fatty liver disease you really need a professional to be able to assist you with making those right choices all right um now here's the other thing uh burning down fat is really kind of a personal situation everyone's different you got different body size different activity levels different other maybe of other health conditions all right that you got to deal with so what I actually say uh is that when you actually have fatty L disease and you're talking about diet work with a nutrition expert to be able to help guide you in developing the right plan I can't emphasize this enough all right uh for fatty liver disease forget what you kind of hearing online this is something you want to work with a professional on there's no one siiz fits-all plan that's going to work for you all right very very important to be able to keep this in mind all right finally the fifth thing I'm telling you if you are trying to get rid of uh reverse fatty liver disease is you definitely have to cut out all sugar sweetened foods from your diet any food that's got added sugar all right um now you know what that means candies cakes sugar sweetened cereals sweetened snacks ice cream popsicles soda regular or Diet all right these are because actually I guess regular these are all foods that actually have added sugars they're all very very common people love to eat them all right now people without fatty liver disease need to be careful about these Foods because they've got this added sugar can easily overwhelm their metabolism and these foods are very very common but if you have a fatty liver disease eating these types of foods like C candies and cakes and sugar sweetened cereals etc etc really terrible for your liver you can take a bad situation and make it worse by eating more foods with added sugars and by the way not only are these sweetened uh foods but they all a lot of them also contain a lot of carbs as well so you get the sugar carbs from the sugar you get carbs from the food itself and now guess what it's just going to get loaded back into the liver and now you've going to take your fatty liver and make it even worse and make it harder to reverse your situation all right listen you started with a liver that's Laden with fat you're trying to get rid of that fat you got to eat less carbs so you're not loading up more fat you got to burn off more fat all right and eventually you're going to tip these scales in your own favor so you can still have enough energy because food is our fuel we need energy but you want your body to run smoothly but kind of like kind of dispensing with or dumping the fuel out all right you don't want to actually overload in that fuel it leads to a disaster when it spills out into your body accumulates in your liver and then takes over your liver and then shuts down your detox organ all right now when it comes to fuel food that we eat always go for high quality fuel right if you have a car and you're loading it up with gas you can use cheap Fu every now and then all right your car is not going to feel too much but if every time you fill up the gas in your car you are only using the cheapest quality fuel that's like every time you're eating you're eating poor quality foods you're eating Ultra processed foods or sugar sweetened Foods what you're going to do is you're going to wear down your body you're going to and and you're going to overwhelm your body at you with all these uh carbs and calories same thing with your car if you put the lowest quality fuel in your car guarantee you it's not going to last your car is not going to last as long as somebody who takes good care of their car by adding high quality fuel all right and of all these sugar sweetened things sodas probably the worst offender now you probably heard me talk about this before in another video but one 12 oz can of soda typically this is the stuff you can buy from a store in a sixpack right you've all drank it before all right these colas and other kinds of things they got a lot of added sugar in it on average 12 oz can of soda has nine teaspoons of sugar added to it all right drink that if
