  Share your BIGGEST takeaway in the comments below. The thing that shocked me the most when doing the research for this episode was the impact of SUGAR on our livers.

  Mom was 74, diagnosed with autoimmune induced hepatitis which caused cirrhosis.   Doctors wanted to monitor her until she kicked the bucket!  I got an additional 10 plus years out of her...what we did (our story, not medical advice) She juiced the Mean Green recipe, 1 quart a day(half in morning other half in evening) she went total organic and whole food making sure to avoid additives and preservatives giving the liver a break. CBD drops to help fight inflammation.  Milk Thistle supplement and moringa supplement.   Raw A2/A2 milk .  Her liver started to heal and regenerate, doctors scratched their heads.  We got precious time, 10 plus years before her autoimmune diseases destroyed her body beyond repair.  Don't ever give up folks, fight hard.

  Key Steps for Liver Detoxification:<br>1. Dietary Changes: Eliminate sugar, refined grains, and processed seed oils. Focus on cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, etc.), bitter greens, sprouts, beets, and high-fiber foods to support bile flow and hormone clearance (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2046">34:06</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2265">37:45</a>).<br>2. Supplements: Dr. Axe recommends herbs like milk thistle (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2360">39:20</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2385">39:45</a>), amino acids such as NAC (N-acetylcysteine) and glycine (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2400">40:00</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2485">41:25</a>), as well as TUDCA for bile flow (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2631">43:51</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2647">44:07</a>) and magnesium (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2340">39:00</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2348">39:08</a>).<br>3. Therapies: Utilize infrared saunas (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2887">48:07</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2903">48:23</a>) and castor oil packs applied topically over the liver area (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2932">48:52</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=3020">50:20</a>) to stimulate detoxification pathways.<br>4. Lifestyle: Prioritize early dinners to avoid taxing the liver during its peak detoxification hours (11 p.m. – 3 a.m.) (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2016">33:36</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=2034">33:54</a>) and address emotional health, as traditional Chinese medicine links stored anger or resentment to liver stagnation (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=1299">21:39</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiOaEva8EBc&amp;t=1325">22:05</a>).

  Great video. Liver health is crucial for so many bodily functions. I support my liver by taking bitter herbs, lemon water, acv and magnesium glycinate. Also onions and garlic.

  My doc gave me the supplements for liver support and changed my diet to low fodmap. After 2 months I ended up with gallbladder and liver congestion right abdominal pain and elevated enzymes. I stopped everything and took ursodeoxycholic, tudca, silymarin, thankfully liver enzymes dropped and I was better. However, my kidneys become strained and my GFR and creatinine level went up😢. &nbsp;Every time I try correction, I get something wrong again. &nbsp;I hate all supplements, they burden my liver and kidneys 😢.
