OLDIE BUT GOODIE - Liver Health: Tips for Achieving Optimal States

Tuesday Dec 24, 2024

Tuesday Dec 24, 2024

The liver is an organ that does many important things for the body, from reducing inflammation to detoxifying damage from inflammation. To support the liver, one should consume foods that support antioxidant production. Antioxidants help reduce inflammation throughout the body and help protect the heart, brain, and digestive tract from damage. Stress is a major cause of inflammation, and the liver will work overtime to try to reduce it. Consuming foods that support the liver's functions is essential to maintaining good health. The liver produces antioxidants, such as glutathione and NAC (acetylcysteine), which have pro, neurogenic and neuroprotective properties. Glutathione is often given via IV, while NAC is a precursor to glutathione and can be taken as a supplement. The World Health Organization recognizes NAC as an essential medication. In order to support the production of antioxidants, the liver needs nutrients such as vitamins B6, B9, B12, B2, B3, lgutamine, and methionine. The liver also helps regulate hormones, which are signals sent to the brain in response to stress. When we wake up, our body starts producing different hormones as a result of being awake. The liver is a key organ when it comes to hormone regulation. It produces cortisol, which is released to give the body energy in the mornings. It is also responsible for the regulation of thyroid, adrenal, and other hormones. When a woman is going through pre menopause, it is important to assess her liver health, as it directly affects the regulation of hormones. Additionally, the liver has a direct connection to insulin and is crucial for insulin regulation, which can lead to a variety of diseases and disorders if it is not healthy.

Highlights

It has 16 ingredients in it that support the methylation cycle to support liver function and detoxification and the production of antioxidants. We love talking about the liver, because if the liver helps regulate hormones, then all of a sudden, if your hormones become balanced, you become balanced. So taking a supplement like Liver Love, which I highly recommend everyone does, I take it on a daily basis because it has methylated B Nine in it.. It's going to help improve your life. Use code nurse dosa for 15% off. There's 120 capsules in it, and you can play around with the dosage if you want. Some people take one a day, some people take two a day. But keep in mind, if you go to two to three pills, it's a heavier detox. If you do four pills a day, you're detoxing and cleaning out that storage unit. So be prepared. It's going to be the best thing for you.
Number three fast food leads directly to unhealthy liver. One in four U. S. Adults have a fatty liver, which means one in four US. Adults are eating way too much fast food. Cut back on it and replace that type of fat with healthier fat like avocado. That's a great substitute for your liver. Number four bad liver equals bad estrogen for all the women out there. If you want better hormones, especially better estrogen, take care of your liver. Take some sort of supplement to help support your liver, like knack or maybe even milk thistle. And get off the birth control, please.
So to recap, I want you to take away five different tips to support your liver health. Number one your liver makes antioxidants. Find the recipe to make yours. Either get an acetylcystein Ivs or start taking glutathione. Number two the liver helps regulate all your hormones. Keep this in mind the next time you're doing blood work because you want to include liver hormone or liver enzyme panels. Along with your hormone panels, ask your practitioner to order it alongside.
That's the reason why all of our vitamins are methylated. Because of people like me. Every single Msw nutrition vitamin has methylated factors in it to help support the mthfr gene because people like me need it in order to function better. And on a side note, we'll get into one episode later, but the mthfr gene and the comt gene are directly connected. So if a person has an issue with both, like we mentioned before, it puts them at higher risk for estrogen and dopamine issues as well as detoxification and hormone regulation.
That's my genetics. So I'm at higher risk for things like diabetes because of insulin problems with the liver, right? I'm at higher risk for low testosterone and higher estrogen, which could put me at risk for cancer. And then, because all these issues are also involving neurotransmitter production and the brain, what does that look like for vascular dementia down the road for me and cognitive decline?. Anyone that has an Mthfr issue needs to take methylated vitamins in order to support this gene and its many pathways. Some of the methylated vitamins that you could take are methylated B Nine, five, MTHF. There's also methylcobalamin, which is B twelve, and my personal favorite, P five P vitamin B six. I take these on a daily basis along with something known as trimethylglycine or betaine in order for my methylation cycle to work correctly, because I cannot afford to have any Undermethylated liver.
