Chapter 1: How can I tell if my liver is healthy?
So how do I know if my liver is healthy? Is there any symptoms of an unhealthy or toxic liver?
Well, let's go through possibilities. I call them checklists.
Okay.
Chapter 2: How does fasting relate to liver health?
Okay. And the reason I call them checklists is because they may not apply to everybody. The first question to ask if your liver is healthy is when you go without food, do you make a ketone? If you don't make a ketone and you're like, we've had people that are like 20 hours in, 36 hours in, 48 hours in. They're like, I'm still not making a ketone.
How do they know?
Because we have them testing. Okay. So a little ketone. The continuous glucose monitors, they'll help the blood sugar, but you need a ketone reader to help ketones. It's like a little, you prick your finger. Have you ever used one?
No, that's so interesting. I didn't know those were even a thing.
Oh yeah, you should get one. So you get a little monitor and you prick your finger and then you put your blood on this little strip and you put the strip into this little monitor and it tells you how many ketones you have.
Okay, so more ketones, the better, right?
Yeah.
Okay, interesting.
So if you can't make ketones or you're starving or after a long period you're not feeling the benefits of fasting, that could be because of your liver. So we now have, okay, that's liver issue number one. Okay. Then we can go to things like how do you process alcohol?

Chapter 3: What are the signs of liver stress related to alcohol?
Like, you know how there are certain people who like you go out to drink with them and after a couple of drinks, they're dancing on the table. And then there's other people that like can drink the whole bar and they seem like they're completely normal compared to when they walked in.
Yeah.
That's liver function. Like what, how, how quickly is that liver metabolizing that alcohol?
Which one is healthy? Sorry.
Well, I actually think metabolizing it quickly is better than the stagnant person.
So the person that's hammered is going to be... Yeah.

Chapter 4: Can the condition of my eyes indicate liver issues?
So, I mean, there's a lot of nuance in that comment. So just so we don't get the whole world coming after your eye on that. So it's how quickly are you able to metabolize a toxin in your system and get it out of you? So that would be another one. Then we have some really, really good ones, really like applicable ones. Like this is based off some old ancient strategies, like corner of your eye.
If the inside of your eye is yellow, according to iridology, which is the study of the eye as it relates to health, when the corner of the eye is yellow, that can be a sign of liver stagnation. Okay, another one.
The inside corner?
Chapter 5: What do my feet say about my detox health?
Yeah.
So next to your nose? Mm-hmm. Okay.
Another one, you can look at the bottom of your feet. So bottom of your feet when they're dry and cracking is showing that you're not getting proper circulation down to your feet. And so it can be a possibility that the liver is not doing a good job of detoxing and getting toxins out. So your circulatory system has more sludge in it.
So the circulation isn't freely getting down to the bottom of your feet.
Have you ever asked someone to show you their feet?
Oh, yeah. Really? Yeah. Feet, eyes. I want to know everything because it tells you. Feet, eyes. I want to know what your menstrual blood. I don't need to see it, but I want to know, is it clumpy? How quickly does the flow come out? These kind of things are so important. How quickly your hair grows? How quickly your nails grow? What's on your nails? Are nails on ridges on your nails?
Because that could be minerals like... Our body gives us a full analysis of what's going on. So I have looked at a lot of feats.
And if I look at my feet now, I just want to take a quick look because I can't remember really looking at the bottom of my feet. What is a sign that my liver is not healthy looking at the bottom of my feet?

Chapter 6: What daily routine can help assess liver function?
It's the real dry cracks.
Oh, no, mine is soft like a baby's bottom.
There you go. Do you want to put it up on the table so I can see?
No, because people will sell pictures.
Oh, that's right. Oh, my God. Yeah.
part of the revenue if that happens yes oh my god you're so accurate um okay interesting so so here's a couple let's give people a daily routine of what to look at to be able to see like how your body's functioning so when i get up in the morning that's one thing i do i always look in the i'm periodically you know throughout the day looking in the corner of my eyes
Like, is there a yellow tinge in there? So I look at that. I also look at my tongue every morning when I wake up. Do you look at your tongue?
Not really.
Okay. So when you look at your tongue, does it have a white coat on it? If it has a white coat on it, that can be a sign of candida, of too much yeast in your system and your body's detoxing it. You can also look at your tongue when you fast. Okay. Sometimes it'll go black and that's like candida coming out. That's yeast coming out. So make sure you're looking at your tongue.
