1:00I want to discuss the real reason why you should start consuming Liver liver is the number one nutrient dense food on planet Earth Number two would be oysters, but number one is liver and it's not just the nutrients that liver will give you There's something else that liver will do for a great majority of the population And so hear me out because at least half of you watching has this very specific problem that you can benefit greatly Don't consume any more liver now. You might already know that liver has the best bile available nutrients like vitamin A And it has a ton of vitamin in it. It has B1 B2 B3 B6 B9 which is holy we'll come back to that in second B12 Coal beam that has vitamin D it has iron the keen form of iron which is very different than plant-based iron It has copper. It's loaded with zinc

2:01Selenium and many other trace minerals. It has phosphorus and it also has all of the essential amino acids and especially this compound called Methionine which I'll talk about in a minute the two main common confusions people have with eating liver is that They have this idea that liver is just filled with toxins Well liver itself is not a storage for toxins. It helps you get rid of toxins But it doesn't hold toxins The fat cells normally hold toxins but not the liver and of course the liver that I'm going to recommend you consume if you can get a whole of it Would be grass-fed grass-finished liver other point about liver and some people will say well, you don't want to have liver You know very frequently because you're going to get an overload and toxicity of vitamin A or copper or iron Well, if you look up the studies that talk about that They never talk about consuming excessive little, okay? They talk about consuming

3:04individual synthetic vitamins like synthetic vitamin A or they might talk about consuming too much copper So of course liver does not contain synthetic vitamins. Now I will say there has been one study that I could find And that was consuming polar bear liver and that's very toxic if you consume too much of it because the amount of vitamin A is the softest chart But I don't even believe that you can create a toxic effect if you're going to consume it every single day Now of course, there's always exception if you consume a tremendous amount of liver potentially could create a problem But you probably notice the side effects and you would cut that back But here's why the majority of the population Should start consuming liver because there's a very common genetic problem With our population apparently it's a defect or mutation in a gene called MTHFR Now first it might look like an acronym for a dirty word or a swear word But it's now this gene if it's altered inhibits

4:07A certain enzyme That creates a cascade of problems in your body In fact, this gene is probably the most important gene in your entire body I'm going to explain why because if there's a problem with it You'll have no methylation now. What is methylation? methylation involves adding a methyl group Well, that probably didn't explain anything a methyl group is C-H-3 And methylation is really adding something to a lot of different enzymes to create different effects Without methylation, you're not going to be able to detoxify heavy metals Okay, and that includes iron There's so many people have an issue with too much iron And iron will build up And then the liver is affected But with the methylation problem You will have a situation where the iron is not breaking down

5:07Yet the iron is unusable to you So you'll have symptoms of high iron and symptoms of low iron So your feet and hands might be cold all the time Despite having a normal thyroid So that's just one symptom Another big problem is the lack of producing neurotransmitters So what is that going to do? That's going to affect your mood Specifically anxiety and depression Another function is DNA repair Now is that important? Yeah, especially if you want to prevent cancer And with this enzyme problem You'll have a tendency to be more at risk for colon cancer You will also have a problem with inflammation So let's say you're taking fish oil, turmeric All these things to get rid of inflammation You're doing fasting But you still have inflammation Xema Is unpredictable But you can flare less with epglyss A once monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema

6:08After an initial four-month or longer dosing phase About four and ten people taking epglyss Achieved itch-relate and glare are almost glare skin at 16 weeks And most of those people maintain skin that's still more glare at one year With monthly dosing Epglyss, library kizumap lbkz A 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection Is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds Or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema Also called atopic dermatitis That is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin Or topicals Or who cannot use topical therapies Epglyss can be used with or without topical corticosteroids Don't use if you're allergic to epglyss A allergic reaction can occur that can be severe Eye problems can occur Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with epglyss Before starting epglyss Tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection Ask your doctor about epglyss And visit epglyss.lily.com or call 1-800-LilyRX Or 1-800-545-5979 Because the cause of it is this other thing It's a genetic thing Now this enzyme is also involved with producing energy ATP

7:09So you're generally going to be kind You're not going to be able to have the full capacity of energy Despite how many hours of sleep you get Despite how good your diet is It can also affect your cognitive function Specifically memory, focus, concentration So this can lead to a new dean It can lead to dementia And even Alzheimer's Nethylation also helps you break down things Like astrodial to lesser toxic forms of estrogen So many people have estrogen dominance In fact, you have too much estrogen You're at risk for breast cancer And cancer of the uterus and your ovary And so people will start taking remedies Like you might need more crucifulls food Or take a product called dim Or avoid soy But if they don't have enough methylation They're not going to be able to break down the estrogen as well They might also have lower testosterone Despite how many things they try to do To fix that problem

8:10Nethylation also helps to protect against autoimmune diseases It's intimately involved with your immune system And especially to protect you against the adverse reactions That can occur when someone gets a vaccine Not being able to manipulate increases your risk of a slow So I hope you can see the importance of this whole chemical pathway Well, here's the thing you need to know This chemical pathway is dependent on two primary nutrients And some secondary ones too But the two primary nutrients are volate and B12 So even now you are consuming them from your diet You're just not going to be able to get enough Because they're not able to be converted to the active form Without this enzyme and methylation working correctly In fact, if you end up taking the synthetic version of these two nutrients

9:10Which is in all sorts of things which I will cover That can create a buildup and make things a lot worse Because there's a lot of toxicity symptoms from just those two nutrients as well If they're in the synthetic form You see that gene is all about converting that nutrient into the active form And so this is why you never want to take like folic acid You want to take folic, which is the natural version And the same thing will be 12 You don't want to take the cyanokobolemine version You want to take the methylokobolemine version Now this specific genetic problem Is fairly recently discovered because of the DNA testing that's being done And the great majority of the population Probably has not tested their genes yet And so there's a lot of people walking around With this problem, with these symptoms And don't have a clue of this connection But it's a very simple problem to solve If you understand it and you know what to do

10:11Which I'm going to explain So I recently got a DNA test So apparently I don't have this exact problem But I have a version of it Which blocks my ability to use coldening As well as these other two nutrients But not quite to the degree that someone with MTHFR we have So in simple terms What does this mean if you have this mutation with this gene It means that you're always going to be efficient In the folate and B12 And so the solution is just to take more of it And it just so happens out of all the foods that you can eat Liver is at the top of the list Liver has super mega amounts of folate and B12 And the other associated nutrients that go along with methylation And that would be B2, B3, B6, coldening, vitamin D, Z And methionine Now let's say for example you don't like to eat liver Well, you're just going to probably have to get a supplement

11:13That has high amounts of the correct form of B12, B6, and folate But there are four things you need to focus on Okay Number one, you need to take more folate and B12 And I already discussed that And by the way, folate is also in dark green vegetables But it's also in liver as well Number two, you want to avoid the synthetic folate and B12 That is in the enrichment process or the fortification process Of various foods If you consume the breads that pass to the cereal crackers Or biscuits You are getting an enriched grain product With a lot of synthetic folate acid and B12 So this is just another reason why you This episode is brought to you by athletic brewing company No matter how you do game day On the couch, in the crowd, or manning the snack table Athletic brewing fits right in With a full lineup of non-alcoholic beer styles

12:13You can enjoy bold flavors all game long No hangovers, no buzz No subbing out for water in the second half Stuck the fridge for tip off With a variety of non-alcoholic craft styles Available at your local grocery store Or online at athleticbrewing.com Near beer Fit for all times You should avoid grains And when you consume nutritional yeast Many times it's fortified With synthetic vitamins If you take nutritional yeast, you want to get the one that's not fortified Not enriched All right, number three You want to minimize your alcohol content No more than a six pack a night You don't want to drink excessive amount Because alcohol tends to make this condition worse And that probably explains why I cannot power an alcohol I mean, if I just drink a little bit I feel like, wow Well, because of this genetic beat that Now for those who do that don't know that I have the dress that's him Or I was being sarcastic with a six pack Okay, I mean just keep it below like maybe two or three drinks for now

13:18Okay, all right, number four You might be taking synthetic vitamins right now And not even knowing that it's worsening this problem In fact, if you just stop taking your synthetic vitamins You might feel so much better Now, how do I know the majority of the population Is consuming synthetic vitamins Talking about the folate in the week 12 Because 99.9% of all vitamins sold And are synthetic So that's how I know So start reading the labels And get vitamins that are from food source or from natural sources Now, since we did touch on detoxification There's a really good video that I did on that That I'd love to share with you And I put it up right here Check it out President Barack Obama Virginia, we are counting on you Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress To raid the next election

14:19And wield unchecked power for two more years But you can stop them By voting yes By April 21st Help put our elections back on a level playing field And let voters decide not politicians Vote yes By April 21st Paid for by Virginians for fair elections
