The number of people suffering from fatty liver disease is absolutely alarming.
It's estimated that in the United States alone, that over a hundred million people are suffering
from this issue, most of which don't even know that they have this problem.
Now, furthermore, most people don't even know what causes it.
And so that's why in this video I want to share with you some of the tips that I use
clinically in order to help so many people.
And I want to answer the question for you.
What is a fatty liver caused from?
So we're going to basically go through what fatty liver is and then give you all the different
ways that it's caused.

Let's talk about fatty liver.
Let's talk about what it is now.
This is referred to is hepatic steatosis.
Okay.
Essentially what this is and very simple terms, it's a buildup of fat within the liver is
build up of fat in the liver, causes a lot of problems.
It's going to cause problems like scarring in the liver.
It's going to cause a lot of inflammatory issues in the liver, and let me tell you,
if you have inflammatory issues within the liver, you have inflammatory issues throughout
the entire body.
That's because delivers the organ that supports all organs.
The liver has over 300 vital functions in the body.
One of the major most vital functions that it has is actually going in purifying the
bloodstream, removing toxins from the bloodstream.
It also does things like helping you process the nutrients that you're getting from the
food that you're eating, the drinks that you're drinking.
And so we want to make sure that we're supporting the liver because if the liver is suffering,
then the whole body is suffering and it's estimated that this problem of fatty liver
affects over 40% of people.
So we have to make sure that we're taking proper steps in the right direction in order
to reverse this issue because there's a good chance that you could be suffering from it.
And what I'll do too is I'll put a link in the description below to a fatty liver support
nutritional supplement that we utilize in my clinic.
It's clinically relevant.
It is dosed properly, it works very well.
It's a great way to start reversing this fatty liver.
But let's talk about the different causes of this.
Now.
First one here is going to be insulin resistance.
Okay?
There's a lot of people just like fatty liver.
Many people are suffering from insulin resistance and they have no clue.
So when we look at incident resistance is basically going to be categorized into like
prediabetes and also type two diabetes.
Okay?
Now, when we look at both of these issues, like I said, a lot of people are suffering
from it is estimated that one third of teenagers are suffering from prediabetes, okay?
Now, when we look at diabetes in general, this is something that used to be referred
to as adult onset diabetes, okay?
It's no longer referred to as that because there's onsetting and so many children and
so one third of teenagers have this issue.
It seems to me the 87 million people in the United States have prediabetes.
Of these 87 million people who have prediabetes, 30 to 50% will turn into full blown diabetes.
Once again, we're talking about this path that you're on that you must get off of if
you want to go in and actually improve your health and not have these issues.
We're talking about now 30 to 50% turn in the diabetes type two diabetes we're referring
to, and then of those 80% of the type two diabetics are going to have nonalcoholic fatty
liver.
Okay?
So insulin resistance is a major reason that many people are suffering from nonalcoholic
fatty liver.
If this is something you have, then what you want to do is you want to start working to
reverse it.
Let's go ahead and talk about the next major reason.
That's obesity.
Okay.
Another major, major problem, it's estimated that one third of us adults have this issue
and when you look at obesity is basically referred to as a body mass index over 30 okay?
So they basically do a calculation where you take your height, you take your weight, and
if you have a body mass index over 30 that is referred to as obesity and this many people
are suffering from this issue, which is crazy.
Okay?
But let's take this a step further because you don't have to be obese in order to have
nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
You simply can just have some belly fat.
And basically when we look at obesity, that is basically the point in which they know
beyond a shadow of a doubt, like you have a bunch of different conditions.
You probably have high blood pressure, you probably have high cholesterol, you probably
have insulin resistance, you have all these issues going on.
But the problem is a lot of people just have simple belly fat and have these people who
have belly fat.
It's basically a submitted that.
They're starting to have some different metabolic syndrome and when they have belly fat that
is on their body, essentially they are going to typically have one certain criteria for
metabolic syndrome.
So that might be high blood pressure.
That might be just insulin resistance, that might be just high, high cholesterol.
And it's estimated that 91% of the adults have body fat that they need to get rid of
so that they don't have these issues and necessitated at 69% of children have belly fat that they
really need to get rid of so that they can avoid these issues.
So you know, it's not just about being obese.
We know beyond a shadow of a doubt.
You truly know this.
That is not about being obese.
It's if you have that belly fat, you can still have these issues.
I know so many different young adults.
I know so many teenagers, I work with them and they have insulin resistance to starting
to have all these problems with Keegan, you know, not able to sleep at night and all these
different symptoms and they're young individuals.
You know what?
They have insulin resistance.
You don't have to be diagnosed.
You don't have to be someone who is eating a completely horrible diet, right?
You can actually be someone who just is more prone to it.
You can be, you know, just getting off your diet a little bit and have this issue.
But most individuals are drinking tons of sugary sodas, ice creams, that kind of thing.
And as a result they have this issue of obesity and insulin resistance.
High blood sugar is another one.
Okay, let's talk about high blood sugar.
So high fructose corn syrup is a major reason that so many people have fatty liver and high
blood sugar.
We look at most of the different products out there.
It's sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.
It's a very inexpensive sweetener, but it is also very burdensome on the liver.
Okay, so when you consume high amounts of fructose from high fructose corn syrup, essentially
it goes right to liver and in the liver it has to be processed so that it can be used
as energy or it can be stored as glycogen in the liver or in the muscles.
And so there's high fructose corn syrup.
It's very burdensome on the liver and it causes fatty liver deposits or fat deposits in the
liver, I should say.
And as a result, you're going to get fatty liver, high sugar drinks, high sugar foods
are all culprits here.
And then of course, a diet that is high in refined carbohydrate intake.
Okay, these are all things we've got to cut out, but high blood sugar is something that
is causing a lot of fatty liver.
So if you're not familiar with blood sugar, I'll put a link in the description below to
a video I did on it.
You can actually get a very simple monitor right in the comfort of your home test, your
blood sugar, your fasting blood sugar, your blood sugar around meals, and you can easily
go in and determine if you're someone who has high blood sugar all the time.
Now let's go ahead and talk about the next thing here.
And that is the side effects of medications.
It's estimated that 55% of adults in the United States on a medication, and of those 55% it's
estimated they're on four or more medications.
Many of these medications of which are actually causing fatty, fatty liver disease and they
have it as a side effect.
So make sure that if you're on medications, you talk to your doctor and you work to determine
if it's something that is actually making fatty liver a problem in your life or if it's
even making the fatty liver that you know that you have worse.
So be aware of that.
Next thing here is elevated blood lipids.
This is another thing that many people have a problem with is estimated that one third
of people have high cholesterol.
If we want to make sure that we're reversing fatty liver or we're reducing the risk of
fatty liver, we want to make sure that our blood lipids are in check and we also want
to make sure that we're avoiding this issue.
Now genetics also plays a role in it.
Now we all know that people who really just don't live a very good lifestyle but somehow
they kind of just skate by and they're never sick and you know they just get away with
it, right?
Well some people have some really good genetics and certain areas and some people have genetics
that are making them more prone to problems like insulin resistance, more prone to problems
with like fatty liver, more prone to problems like high cholesterol, high blood triglycerides.
So we want to make sure that when we talk about genetics that if you're someone who
is ever went and got your genetics tested, you realizing that I may be more prone to
these issues.
And because of that, as a result, I'm going in and making the changes necessary to avoid
fatty liver.
Now let's go ahead and talk about what to do.
Cause this is really something that we have to understand.
First of all, we need to exercise daily.
If we're not exercising, we need to start exercising.
I'm someone who exercises between five and six days a week.
And I recommend that most people do at least between three and five days a week.
And I'm not talking about, you know, going to the gym and being a bodybuilder or the
next, you know, long distance runner.
I'm just referring to get out and get moving.
Exercise comes in so many shapes and forms, whether it's a brisk walk, whether it's, you
know, 10 minutes of high intensity training, whatever it is, make sure that you're getting
exercise daily.
So important nutritional support is also very important.
I love, I talked about one at the very beginning of this video.
You know, you can use things like the [inaudible], it'll cystine the liver assist formula.
I mean these things all really help reversing fatty liver.
But you know, taking supplementation is very beneficial for this.
It helps speed up the process, but what you really have to make sure that you're doing
is cleaning up your diet.
Okay.
So be sure to clean up your diet.
You want to be eating a low carb diet.
You want to make sure that you're eating all whole foods.
You don't want to be eating all these processed, packaged junk foods out there.
So eat low carb, remove all sugar from your diet for the time being.
If you're going to have fruit, make sure it's just like some berries, the low-glycemic fruits
that are high in micronutrients high in antioxidants.
Make sure that you're eating a moderate protein diet and then you can increase your fats at
this time because the fats that are good fats are actually very beneficial for you.
It's healthy for not only your nervous system, but every cell in your body.
So we want to make sure that we're eating low carb, moderate protein, high fat, and
we wanna make sure that we're eating whole foods and pulling the sugar out.
So be sure to give this video a thumbs up.

somebody who has fatty liver and then over here, be sure to check out this video on how

better.
