Best Meal for Liver Detoxification

So what would be the perfect meal to help you detoxify your liver ?

That's what we're gonna talk about today .

The first thing I wanna mention is that going through a detox is not the same as a cleanse .

There's all these cleanses out there , let's say like a 14 day cleanse , clean out your liver , right ?

Well , don't waste your money going on a cleanse with cayenne , pepper and lemon juice with maple syrup for , for even a week or two is not gonna help you clean your liver .

All these expensive little kits with these powdered herbs and things that you can take to cleanse your liver are not going to in any significant way , clean your liver .

And I'm gonna explain why you have some powerful , amazing thing that happens in that cell .

They go through like this assembly line of enzymatic changes .

Ok ?

Got phase one in phase two and then phase three is just the full elimination of that toxin .

And when I talk about toxins , I'm talking about drugs , medication , preservatives , xenobiotic , which are all the chemicals that are external to the body and foreign to the body .

Like you have plastics , you have petroleum products .

You have also mold and fungus and pesticides , insecticides , herbicides , fungicides .

You have metabolic waste like hydrogen peroxide .

You have toxins from smoking .

I think there's over six or 7000 different chemicals .

Ok .

With , uh , about , I think 74 to 100 carcinogens .

Then you have chemicals and vaping .

You have caffeine heavy metals .

I'm not sure if I mentioned that cleaning chemicals , alcohol hormones that need to be broken down .

So we are basically swimming , bathing in chemicals 24 7 , especially if you use tap water and it's like in your showerhead and you have to drink that .

And I mean , it's just , it's hitting us from every different angle .

Thank goodness , we have this system of phase one , phase two detoxification .

And the whole goal of this process is to turn poisons into harmless water sle particles .

So in other words , a lot of these chemicals are fat sable .

So let me explain fat sable .

So you can see right here , we have fat and we have water , right ?

You know , they don't mix .

This is the fat syle toxins right here .

It goes into the body , but it doesn't come out , it gets stuck in there .

So we need to turn this fat into something that's more water syle .

So it can go through the body .

So what these enzymes do , it's basically a something to the fat and then , and so they break it down into something that can actually go through the body .

OK .

This is another example that I use with like bio salts and what bio salts can do for fat .

But it's a good analogy also for what these enzymes do to the fat sle poisons .

Um In phase one , they're adding , you know , either water , hydrogen or oxygen to start to oxidize and break it down .

The challenge with this phase one .

OK ?

Is that when this chemical is activated , it becomes more toxic , more dangerous , more of a car because you're adding oxygen and you're oxidated it and you're opening it up .

That's why we have phase two , but we need phase one to be able to dismantle this so that we can then add the next thing to this chain of events .

So phase one kind of starts the process , it activates things .

It requires certain uh nutrients like folate , vitamin C , uh certain B vitamins , calcium , et cetera .

And this is also the phase where if you consume grapefruit juice , right ?

Or grapefruit and you're also taking a medication , there is a certain chemical in grapefruit that will retain that drug longer in your system and it will make things more toxic for you .

So you never want to consume grapefruit juice or grapefruits while you're taking a certain medication .

And during phase one , there's a lot of uh free radicals and oxidation happening and this is where you need a lot of antioxidants .

So , antioxidants uh protect the cell against all this free radical stuff going on and detoxification is different because you're taking a poison and turning into a water sole harmless particle .

Now , after phase one gets a hold of that poison , then phase two comes in there and it does something called conjugation .

OK .

And that's basically adding a water soluble molecule to this compound like for example , glutathione .

So glutathione binds with it and now it's water sable .

And if you ever get a DNA test , you'll see uh all these detoxification enzymes and you can actually see if you have a problem with them genetically , like like say there's just a mutation with one of those enzymes .

And what that means is there's some sluggishness and that enzyme doesn't work like it should .

So it makes you more susceptible to damage from that poison .

If you're exposed to it , it's just going to be harder for your body to get rid of that toxin unless you eat very healthy and you do things to really avoid that toxin .

So the value of a DNA test will tell you the importance of avoiding a certain toxin or going above and beyond what you normally do to eat certain things to help this process happen faster .

And when I'm actually evaluating DNA testing , I'm finding a lot of people have a problem with these detoxification enzymes .

So in phase one , OK .

The name of this group of family of enzymes are called the cytochrome P .

450 enzymes OK .

And then in phase two , you have a bunch of other names involving glutathione .

But I'm not going to get into these names at this point .

Just realize that all these enzymes pretty much do the same thing , but in different locations in the body and with different toxins .

So like I said before , there are detoxification enzymes in your intestines , in your lungs , in your kidney , but the liver is the primary area of detoxification .

So with phase two , you're attaching certain water sole compounds to help it become more water sole .

And that involves sulfur cline , certain amino acids , zinc .

Now , there's a couple of points , I'm going to talk about with this whole assembly line of uh enzymes to break down these chemicals .

Um It really depends on how chronically you're exposed to these chemicals .

For example , if you have a bad habit of smoking , ok , every day for a long period of time , that is gonna be way more of a problem with these enzymes and the accumulation in chronic irritation and the side effects of things like cancer because remember , cancer is this chronic irritation or damage to the mitochondria that then switches over into this out of control cancer cell .

Well , something causes it and it's usually the chronic exposure to something and it can also be diet as well .

And on top of that , if someone has a fatty liver , which the majority of the population does this .

Phase one , phase two detoxification , enzyme pathway just does not work like it should also , if they have inflammation in the liver , same thing like hepatitis , it just won't work that well .

And especially if they have cirrhosis , it won't work that well .

Now , there's also a phase three detoxification where you're eliminating these water soluble chemicals throughout the body .

But what if , for example , you are constipated , right ?

Your bowels hold on to these toxins .

Well , that's a problem because they accumulate , especially if you have chronic constipation .

And another thing you can have is like dys biosis , which is an alteration in the gut microbiome .

There's a gut liver relationship that if there's something going on in the gut , it's going to affect the liver because the friendly bacteria also assist in removing these chemicals .

So if you had a lot of antibiotics or you have an overgrowth of yeast or a lot of problems with the gut microbiome , you can have a problem with detoxification .

Now , a little bit higher up in the digestion , you have these bile ducts .

Bile is one of the primary ways of eliminating these toxins , ok , as well as through the urinary system .

But if there's anything going on in the bile ducts where there's a block that's called cholos stasis where there's just like sludge or an obstruction from a gallstone that can start accumulating these toxins in the liver and interrupt this flow that should normally happen .

And the way that you would know that you would have that is usually like right shoulder pain or a fullness underneath the right rib cage or burping or belching .

And the remedy is to thin the bile with more bile .

And I like to use a remedy called tut cut , which has been known to greatly assist in the detoxification process of the liver and in other parts of the body .

What about if the urine is obstructed ?

Ok .

I mean , let's say the person has a , an , a large prostate and they just don't eliminate like they should and they retain urine .

Well , we have this accumulation of toxic material that just cannot exit the body and it backs up all the waste .

Not to mention someone that having diabetes and having a kidney problem , which also causes them to retain these chemicals .

But the question is , what can you do about it ?

What can you do ?

Well , the diet , out of all the things you can do .

And I'm talking about supplements and , and remedies and all this stuff .

The diet can help you the most when you detoxify .

And I'm not talking about a two week cleanse .

I'm talking about something you do on a routine basis .

A consistent basis where you're eating these foods over and over and over again .

So I'm gonna describe a meal that I think would be the best meal to help your liver and other organs detoxify .

We wanna start with the egg .

Ok .

Eggs are one of the perfect foods because they're high in sulfur , uh complete amino acid profile .

They pretty much have every nutrient including cline , which is really good for the liver as well as a fatty liver .

And then you would cook those eggs with onions and garlic .

Two things that are very high in sulfur .

Not to mention all the antioxidants in onion and garlic that um can help counter the phase one detoxification .

And don't forget the sea salt to get some of the trace minerals .

And then we add our cruciferous vegetables .

Now , there's any number of Christopher's vegetables that you can do , you can do roasted Brussels sprouts , you can do cauliflower or you can do broccoli , steamed broccoli or even cabbage or sauerkraut .

And if you want to do a salad , you can just do arugula , the more bitter the vegetable , the better for your liver out of all the salad greens .

Arugula is at the top of the list because it's cruciferous .

These cruciferous vegetables activate the genes that cause these enzymes to be produced and work .

So if you have a genetic mutation with one of these genes , consuming those foods can speed up this process .

Now , just so , you know , this is my meal .

This is what I eat very often as my first meal of the day and then as a kind of a dessert , I'll have Kiefer , which is way better than yogurt .

Then I'll put some walnuts in there and sometimes I might put some um low carb , no sugar , chocolate chips just a little bit .

That's my dessert .

But that can actually help with the calcium that you need as well as to your microbiome .

What's unique about Kiefer is that it has a lot more friendly bacteria as well as friendly yeast .

Whereas yogurt has less bacteria and no friendly yeast .

And of course , that's not the only meal , but that's just an example of something that could be good .

You definitely want enough protein too with complete amino acids because all these enzymes are made from amino acids .

So it's very , very important to have some animal , um , meat or eggs with your meal and to put the icing on the cake , I probably shouldn't talk about cake , add additional herbs if you can , if you can add , you know , time sage , oregano , cayenne , pepper , turmeric , rosemary , any of these herbs are going to help you in the detoxification process .

Now , if you haven't seen this video on how to get rid of a fatty liver , I put it up right here .
