📺 Do You Know Your Number? – Episode 8: Liver Health & Fatty Liver Disease🔑 Key Takeaways

Why the Liver Matters

The liver has over 500 vital functions, including detoxification, breaking down fats, storing nutrients, and producing clotting factors.

When the liver fails, the whole body fails.

Major Causes of Liver Failure

#1 Alcohol abuse (alcoholic liver disease)

#2 Viral hepatitis

#3 Fatty liver disease (NAFLD) – now affecting 25% of adults and 5–10% of children in America.

Know Your Liver Numbers

Key tests: ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Healthy range: 35 or less

Danger signs: ALT/AST > 40 (trouble), >100 (serious), >200 (dire)

If ALT/AST and hsCRP (inflammation marker) are elevated → high risk of fibrosis and cirrhosis.

Stages of Liver Damage

Fatty liver → inflammation → fibrosis → cirrhosis → liver failure.

Fibrosis shrinks the liver from the size of a football to a small cantaloupe.

Silent Warning Signs

Early stages often have no symptoms—may just feel fatigued.

Swelling in abdomen and legs, sudden weight gain (50–100 lbs of fluid), and enlarged spleen are late signs of failure.

🍽️ Foods & Habits That Damage the Liver

Worst culprits:

High-fructose corn syrup, sugar, fruit juice, dried fruit, honey, maple syrup.

Processed carbs: white bread, flour, pasta, potatoes.

Bad fats: hydrogenated oils, fried foods, seed oils.

High-risk groups:

People with obesity, prediabetes, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome (belly fat, high BP, high triglycerides, insulin resistance).

✅ How to Restore and Protect Your Liver

Lifestyle Changes

Follow Beyond Keto or Keto Zone (low sugar, low processed foods, Mediterranean-based).

Intermittent fasting to burn fat and reduce inflammation.

Exercise to burn belly fat.

Increase fiber intake (Fiber Zone, vegetables, nuts).

Avoid alcohol.

Supplements for Liver Support

Nano Glutathione (Spray or Dropper) – powerful antioxidant for detox and liver protection.

Liver & Gallbladder Cleanse – contains milk thistle, alpha-lipoic acid, beetroot, and artichoke to support detox pathways.

High phenolic olive oil – helps protect the liver.

Medical Support

Tests: FibroScan or MR Elastography to measure fibrosis.

For obesity-related fatty liver: GLP-1 agonists (like semaglutide) can help reverse fat buildup.

🙏 Spiritual Insight

God’s best is not that you need a miracle, but that you walk in divine health daily.

Taking care of your body is partnering with God so you can live long and strong for your children and grandchildren.
