  1. 0:00I'm going to show you a fatty liver fix
  2. 0:02that is so fast that it'll make your
  3. 0:04head spin.
  4. 0:05Within 6 days, less than a week, you can
  5. 0:08drop 31%
  6. 0:10of the fat from your liver. I'm going to
  7. 0:12show you how. Do you have to get an MRI
  8. 0:14at the hospital? No. Do you have to get
  9. 0:16an ultrasound? Not necessarily. There
  10. 0:18are simple things you can do to know if
  11. 0:21you have a fatty liver. If you have
  12. 0:22belly fat, what that fat is, it's called
  13. 0:24visceral fat, and that is fat that's
  14. 0:27spilled over from your liver filling up
  15. 0:30with fat. One of the challenges when you
  16. 0:32go to the doctor with fatty liver is
  17. 0:34they will tell you just to lose weight.
  18. 0:36That is not necessarily the best advice.
  19. 0:38I'm going to give you much better advice
  20. 0:41because a fatty liver is not a fat
  21. 0:43problem, it's a liver problem, and you
  22. 0:45have to know what to do to remove the
  23. 0:47fat off the liver. And out of all the
  24. 0:49parts of your body that are fat, the
  25. 0:51liver will shed the fat the fastest,
  26. 0:54which is the good news. The bad news,
  27. 0:55well, there's actually not bad news if
  28. 0:57you understand how to do it. So, I'm
  29. 0:59going to get into it right now. You
  30. 1:01don't get a fatty liver from just eating
  31. 1:03fat. You get it from eating a very
  32. 1:05specific type of sugar called fructose,
  33. 1:09mainly. The unique thing about fructose
  34. 1:11is that it can really only be
  35. 1:13metabolized by your liver, whereas
  36. 1:15glucose can be broken down and used by
  37. 1:18all of your cells. So, when you consume
  38. 1:21fructose, it can only be dealt with from
  39. 1:24this liver, and if you're consuming a
  40. 1:26lot of it, it can really not just fill
  41. 1:28up the liver with fat, it can damage the
  42. 1:30liver itself. So, in other words,
  43. 1:32fructose can be converted to fat in the
  44. 1:37liver, and then it creates damage,
  45. 1:39inflammation, and then that's what leads
  46. 1:41to the scar tissue. You know, we've been
  47. 1:43taught for 40 years to avoid fat, avoid
  48. 1:47red meat,
  49. 1:49told that we can actually do more
  50. 1:51carbohydrates and juice and pasta and
  51. 1:54cereals and crackers and biscuits. It
  52. 1:56was part of our food pyramid in the
  53. 1:58'90s.
  54. 1:59Very bad advice because that is what
  55. 2:02caused a non-alcoholic
  56. 2:05fatty liver disease. It's coming from
  57. 2:08the carbohydrates. And what's really
  58. 2:09wild about this is when you do an
  59. 2:11ultrasound or an MRI on the liver, they
  60. 2:13can detect how much that liver is filled
  61. 2:15with fat. But the good news is if you
  62. 2:17can catch it in time,
  63. 2:19there's a way to remove that fat
  64. 2:21extremely fast. But if you really don't
  65. 2:23know what to do, the fat will come right
  66. 2:24back and cause the same problem. But I'm
  67. 2:26going to show you what to do. There was
  68. 2:28a study put out by PNAS. Researchers
  69. 2:31took people with a fatty liver and put
  70. 2:33them on a very specific diet for less
  71. 2:35than a week, just 6 days. Measured the
  72. 2:37livers with an MRI before and after.
  73. 2:40Less than a week later, the liver fat
  74. 2:42had dropped on average by 31%. And you
  75. 2:46don't need to go get an MRI at this
  76. 2:48point. But by the end of this video,
  77. 2:50you'll know what to do, you'll know what
  78. 2:51to eat, you'll know what to avoid. But
  79. 2:53this is not about losing weight. This is
  80. 2:55about knowing what to do to turn down
  81. 2:57the dial of this fat dumping into the
  82. 2:59liver. Now, there's three simple ways to
  83. 3:01determine if you have fat in the liver.
  84. 3:04I've already mentioned the belly, okay?
  85. 3:06If your belly is protruded, but also the
  86. 3:08back of your neck. If you look in the
  87. 3:10mirror and you can look in the back of
  88. 3:13your neck. If your neck is darker or it
  89. 3:16feels very velvety and kind of like the
  90. 3:18skin is kind of thick, or
  91. 3:21your groin or your armpits have darkened
  92. 3:24skin and it has like a velvety type feel
  93. 3:27to it,
  94. 3:28suspect you have a fatty liver or skin
  95. 3:32tags. All three of these indicate you
  96. 3:35have high insulin. And if you have high
  97. 3:37insulin,
  98. 3:39you're going to have a fatty liver.
  99. 3:42So, the question is why?
  100. 3:43Well, high insulin causes a lot of
  101. 3:46storage of fat, especially in the liver.
  102. 3:50And what happens when the liver gets
  103. 3:52damaged because of all the refined
  104. 3:54carbohydrates, you develop resistance
  105. 3:57against insulin. So, what that means in
  106. 4:01simple terms, the pancreas that's making
  107. 4:03insulin
  108. 4:04has no turn off and it starts just
  109. 4:07flooding the body with so much insulin
  110. 4:10that excess insulin just causes a
  111. 4:12massive storage of fat on the liver. If
  112. 4:15your environment is off, everything else
  113. 4:17struggles. It's like a fish tank.
  114. 4:19Pollute the water and the fish gets
  115. 4:20sick. You could feed them the best food.
  116. 4:22You can treat every single symptom, but
  117. 4:24if the water stays toxic, nothing
  118. 4:26recovers. The body runs on 10 signals
  119. 4:29like insulin, cortisol, inflammation,
  120. 4:31sleep quality, gut function. Every one
  121. 4:34of them affects how you feel. But there
  122. 4:36is always one signal that is more broken
  123. 4:38than the rest and until you fix that
  124. 4:40one, everything else stay stuck. I built
  125. 4:43a free 2-minute quiz that finds it for
  126. 4:45you. It tells you which one of the main
  127. 4:46signals is holding your body back right
  128. 4:49now. Click the link in the description,
  129. 4:51take the quiz, and stop guessing. Now, I
  130. 4:53want you to do something. You can either
  131. 4:54pause the video right now or do this at
  132. 4:57the end of the video, but I want you to
  133. 4:59take a tape measure and measure around
  134. 5:01your waist at the level of the belly
  135. 5:03button and you're going to write down
  136. 5:06that number. 2 days later, we're going
  137. 5:08to measure it again
  138. 5:09and then in 72 hours, it's 3 days,
  139. 5:11you're going to measure it and then in 6
  140. 5:14days, you're going to measure it
  141. 5:16and at 6 days, it should be at least 2
  142. 5:19in
  143. 5:20smaller. But at 48 hours, you should see
  144. 5:23at least a half an inch shrinkage in
  145. 5:26your midsection. What's fascinating
  146. 5:28about people with liver damage is they
  147. 5:30don't usually die of liver failure. They
  148. 5:33usually die of either a heart attack or
  149. 5:36a stroke. Why? Because the same thing
  150. 5:39that's causing inflammation in the liver
  151. 5:41is also creating inflammation in your
  152. 5:43arteries. These refined carbohydrates
  153. 5:45and sugars are not just doing to the
  154. 5:47liver, they're doing it to the entire
  155. 5:49body. As you do this, you just might
  156. 5:51find that if you have high blood
  157. 5:53pressure, that's going to start coming
  158. 5:55down. If you have higher cholesterol,
  159. 5:57that'll start balancing out. If you have
  160. 5:59fatigue, you'll start having more
  161. 6:01energy. If you have sleep apnea, you're
  162. 6:03going to find that's doing much better.
  163. 6:05But, the problem with the fatty liver is
  164. 6:07there's not a lot of symptoms. You can
  165. 6:09visually see it by these indicators, but
  166. 6:12people don't usually feel it until the
  167. 6:14later stages. So, a lot of people ask
  168. 6:16me, "What supplements do I recommend?"
  169. 6:19Now, of course, I'm not biased of my own
  170. 6:21high-quality supplement line, but if you
  171. 6:22go to Amazon and type Dr. Berg
  172. 6:24supplements,
  173. 6:25you'll find more information. This is
  174. 6:27based on some research. I'm going to put
  175. 6:28the links down below. But, in one study,
  176. 6:31liver fat began to drop in just 2 days
  177. 6:35by restricting carbohydrates. Second
  178. 6:38study, the Children's Experiment, UCSF
  179. 6:42researchers took 41 kids with fatty
  180. 6:44liver, kept their calories exactly the
  181. 6:47same. Okay, not less, not more.
  182. 6:50One thing they did change, they swapped
  183. 6:52out fructose
  184. 6:54for starch. Now, starch
  185. 6:58is mainly glucose. But, 9 days later, a
  186. 7:01little longer than a week,
  187. 7:03using an MRI showed that the liver fat
  188. 7:06dropped almost 50% in these children.
  189. 7:09And so, I just want to emphasize it's
  190. 7:11not really good for you, and especially
  191. 7:13your kids, to drink
  192. 7:15juice. Of course, the obvious one is the
  193. 7:17soda, especially with the high fructose
  194. 7:19corn syrup. That's like really bad. But,
  195. 7:21juice isn't much better, okay? Kids,
  196. 7:24adults need to avoid it. Why? Because
  197. 7:26it's loaded with fructose. Now, the
  198. 7:28third study, which is surprising for a
  199. 7:29lot of people, involves coffee. Yeah. A
  200. 7:32study following over 200,000 adults
  201. 7:35compared coffee drinkers
  202. 7:37with non-coffee drinkers, okay? And
  203. 7:40people that drink coffee had a 46% lower
  204. 7:42risk of dying from chronic liver
  205. 7:44disease. That's mind-blowing, right?
  206. 7:46It's the polyphenols in the coffee. Of
  207. 7:48course, you don't want to add sugar to
  208. 7:50your coffee, but coffee is somewhat
  209. 7:52protective. Now, I'm not pushing coffee,
  210. 7:55but personally I am addicted to it. I
  211. 7:56only drink one a day, but it does tend
  212. 7:59to support liver function. I would
  213. 8:01recommend drinking organic coffee though
  214. 8:03because they do use a lot of pesticides.
  215. 8:06The polyphenols, which are plant-based
  216. 8:08chemicals in coffee, are
  217. 8:09anti-inflammatory. So, if someone does
  218. 8:12have inflammation, it can kind of help
  219. 8:13lower that. Study four, which has to do
  220. 8:15with walking, and this is from Penn
  221. 8:17State researchers who pulled 14
  222. 8:20different studies over 550 patients, all
  223. 8:23had MRIs, and they found it reduced
  224. 8:25liver fat by 30% on average, okay?
  225. 8:28Without any significant weight loss.
  226. 8:31When you walk, you actually improve the
  227. 8:33function of the liver, which is
  228. 8:34fascinating. Okay, what can you do to
  229. 8:37drop fat off your liver very fast?
  230. 8:39Number one, you want to reduce your
  231. 8:41carbohydrates, especially bringing your
  232. 8:44fructose down to zero. So, lowering your
  233. 8:47carbs below 20 g per day is going to be
  234. 8:52probably the most powerful significant
  235. 8:54thing you could possibly do. Number two,
  236. 8:57three egg yolks a day, okay? I would
  237. 9:00recommend eating the whole egg,
  238. 9:02but the egg yolks are filled with
  239. 9:04choline. That accelerates the removal of
  240. 9:08fat from your liver. So, I want you to
  241. 9:09consume three eggs for your breakfast,
  242. 9:11but I wouldn't even have a breakfast. I
  243. 9:13would have
  244. 9:14that for your first meal at lunch
  245. 9:16because I want you to consume only two
  246. 9:18meals a day with no snacks. That's just
  247. 9:20going to take it to the next level and
  248. 9:22speed it up even faster. Number three,
  249. 9:25one coffee a day, but just realize that
  250. 9:27coffee can reduce the inflammation. I
  251. 9:30would not recommend adding sugar, but
  252. 9:34you can add some cream. And number four,
  253. 9:37a 20-minute walk every single day. So,
  254. 9:41you know the basics.
  255. 9:43The devil's in the details. How do you
  256. 9:45do the healthy version of a low-carb
  257. 9:48diet?
  258. 9:49That information is in this video right
  259. 9:51here. Check it out.
