Dr. Mindy here and on this video I am going to break down everything you need to know
about cleansing your liver so you can get a better fasting result
so if you are new to my channel I just want to say welcome
I'm still on a mission to get a million people here fasting I definitely know more now than ever
that the tool of fasting is the quickest and it is the least expensive way to turn your health around
in literally a matter of weeks so I'm so excited you're here if you're new hit the
subscribe button and the notification bell those of you send my videos out super grateful for you
okay liver you know one of the things that I do with all of my youtube videos is I look
at your comments and I see what your needs are and I feel like I needed to do one whole video
on what you can do to cleanse your liver so that you get a better result with fasting so I decided
that what we would do is I would break down one two three four five different aspects of the liver
that will help you get control of your liver health and help you love on this liver so that you
can ultimately get the desire you're looking for with fasting, if your poor liver has
been detoxified like this guy all the time you're gonna struggle to get into ketosis you're gonna
struggle to lose weight so and then you start fasting and you go oh fasting doesn't work for me
fasting works for everybody I promise you if it's not working for you then we need to start to look
at something as basic as liver function so let's start with this idea what does your liver do next
to the brain and the nervous system it is the most the hardest working organ in your body so not only
does it detoxify but it breaks down hormones it makes cholesterol it breaks down protein
it stores vitamins and minerals and it burns energy for fat so you are going to want and
which also happens through ketosis by the way if you want any of those benefits you're going to
want to listen to what I have to say second thing I want you to know is that the liver doesn't work
by itself, it has a team and its team is made up of the black gallbladder the common bile duct
and your small intestine so as I go through some of these hacks you're gonna see that I
bring in the common bile duct I bring in the small intestine organs don't work in silos they've got
to be able to commune with other organs to be able to magnify everybody's function and
if you've had a gallbladder removed there's even more stress on your liver if you have a congested
common bile duct you may see that the cholesterol goes up especially as you add more good fat in
and if you have anything like sibo in the small intestine where there's some
dysbiosis you might start to see that you end up feeling more constipated more bloated
as you start to learn how to fast so we need to keep this team in mind okay having said that
how would we know if your liver needs help if you're listening to this and you're like
okay this sounds like it might be me let's dial it in and see if it's really you so the first
is just because you make a hormone doesn't mean you break the hormone down and make it usable for
your cells that is the job of your liver and your gut so if you're having trouble balancing hormones
especially for the women and you know that you're producing enough of a hormone
I want you to start to remember that it's the liver's job to begin the breakdown of the hormone
this happens a lot with estrogen especially going through menopause where you might be
on hrt you might be on bioidenticals but you're not really feeling the changes that should come
with those medications well maybe your liver isn't breaking down that hormone the second thing
how many of you have gone on to a ketogenic diet and all of a sudden your cholesterol goes up
or you try fasting and your cholesterol goes up well when we start to clean our diet up and
we see that cholesterol goes up that can be the sign of a congested liver those of you with sibo
when you eat something and we know and you get bloated especially fibery things like a salad
that can be a sign your liver needs help if you're struggling with weight loss you're
struggling with the keto getting into ketosis these all need a healthy liver to be able to do
that work to get you into ketosis and to be able to burn fat and the last one that i want to talk
about that we don't i don't think gets enough attention is if you have a sensitivity to a food
whether it's a food allergy or if you have a sensitivity like smells you're super
super triggered by smells a lot of times that can be that your liver is working so hard it's
it is its toxic load and it needs you to work on loving on it and opening it up and giving it the
the environment that it needs to be able to do all of these amazing things that we talked about
in the beginning of this video now i do want to point out if you're like listening to this and
you're like i might have some liver issues i'm not sure that there are some incredible
tests that will help you understand your liver function of course a cbc ast alt bilirubin all
of those alkaline phosphatase are all indications of liver function just make sure when you get your
your full blood analysis that you're having it read by a functional doctor not a doctor who's
only looking for pathology because when we want to look at liver function we need to know the
functionality of that liver not if it's in a diseased state just want to point that out
also those of you have done a dutch test with us we can tell liver function on our dutch
test it's a hormone test that will tell me your adrenals all your sex hormones and it'll tell me
how your liver is doing specifically in breaking these hormones down if you haven't done a dutch
test just put dutch test in the comments and my team will send you a link so you can learn more
about how to do that also if you haven't had a stool test yes stool tests can tell you if there
is a microbiome issue that's affecting your liver function so my favorite is called a gut zoomer if
you want more information information on that just put gut zoomer in the comments okay having said
all of that let's talk about how we get your liver doing better so i want to start with this idea
the easiest thing to do with with improving liver health is to stop the influx of toxins toxins to
the liver can come in the form of alcohol toxins to the liver can come in the form of medications
it can also be environmental toxins sometimes even something as simple as an over accumulation of bpa
plastics when your toxic load gets up your liver has to work triple time so if you know you're
struggling with liver function let's just stop the influx of toxins we also can lean into foods that
feed our liver so this is easy it's specifically the cruciferous foods like the brussels sprouts
and the broccoli and the cauliflowers it's also the bitter foods like radicchio is my favorite
or dandelion greens or endive that bitter tasting greens is really helpful in nourishing to the
liver so start pulling out the things that are toxifying it and nourishing the liver so it can
do the job it was meant to do we also know hopefully you all know i'm a castor oil pack
lover castor oil packs they go right over the liver what ends up happening is that castor
oil will go into the liver and dilate the common bile duct so that the sludge that's coming out of
the gallbladder coming out the liver can actually dump into your intestinal tract super helpful for
fasters super helpful for ketosis i love a cast a good castor oil pack we also know a step up from
the castor oil pack is something called a coffee enema as crazy as it sounds to do a coffee enema
i have seen literally miracles in hormones and weight loss when people dive in
to learning how to do coffee enemas i have a ton of information on coffee enemas on my website
you can go there and take a look and then we have some supplement protocols so i'm going to show you
my favorite supplement program protocol that i use with my patients if you know that you've got
some liver challenges i highly recommend that you go and get yourself a metabolic clearing kit all
you've got to do is put in the notes metabolic clearing kit and my team will send you a link on
where you can order one of these but for serious liver congestion or just stagnant liver congestion
the metabolic clearing kit is a quick 7 to 14 days depending on what you order turn around
that will open that liver up and make it so that you get again all the functionality of a healthy
liver and you overturn all the damages that have occurred to that liver and then the last thing i'm
going to point out because i like to give you guys things that are simple this would be a little more
complicated things that are really simple go check out the resetter podcast that i did with gavin he
is the founder of restore hope oils he has a crazy story about his liver essential oil that really
helped save him from a liver transplant we also have on our website one of his favorite products
called live better oil if you want information on it just put live better oil in the comments and my
team will send you a link to that so i give you a variety i give you things you can do for free
i give you things that will cos cost a little more more money i give you the easy stuff
i give you some hard stuff like coffee enemas but the liver is key to fasting and this is why
i wanted to do this video as you can see there's a lot to it so much to it that i can't just
say oh you're not getting into ketosis you're struggling with fasting must be your liver do
this we've really got to help you start to break down why that potentially may be happening so as
always if you have used any of my hacks with good success please put it in the comments there is we
are a community here we all learn from each other and from the bottom of my heart i hope that helps
