It can cause everything from fatigue to memory problems to age spots — yet doctors rarely check for it. Here’s how to rebuild your body and get rid of your health problems.
If you often feel tired and sluggish… your memory and vision are not as sharp as they used to be… you can’t lose weight no matter how hard you try… then here’s something you need to know:
The most overlooked cause of problems like these is a fatigued liver. That’s right, a fatigued liver.
Your Liver Is The Hardest Working Organ In Your Body Perform Over 500 Essential Functions
Producing more than 13,000 crucial chemicals… and regulating over 50,000 vital enzymes.
Balancing sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen.
Filtering nearly 100 gallons of blood that pass through it every day.
Producing a full quart of bile daily to break down fat and help with food digestion.
Maintaining healthy cholesterol, blood sugar, and amino acids.
Converting glucose into energy your body can use.
Storing essential nutrients, such as vitamins A, B, D, and K.
Detoxifying waste products and pollutants, so your body can get rid of them. (If your liver stopped detoxifying, you would be dead within a few hours!)
That’s a heck of a lot of work for one organ!
When you are young, your liver can carry out all these functions efficiently. As you get older, your liver becomes less efficient. On top of that, decades of exposure to pesticides, heavy metals, chemicals, and air pollution also cause your liver to age faster. It can’t keep up with its heavy workload. It can’t heal itself and regenerate as well. It starts to deteriorate and shrink.
As a result, you may feel tired all the time, as your liver can’t convert glucose to energy quickly. You may keep piling on the pounds around the waistline, and get more cellulite, as your liver is clogged with fat deposits. And you may suffer from sex hormone imbalances and poor sex drive.
In addition, a fatigued liver can also lead to many other symptoms. Including:
Joint and back pain
Age spots
High cholesterol and triglycerides
Increased blood pressure
Skin discoloration and unflattering skin tone
Memory problems
Vision problems
Muscle loss
Poor immunity
Indigestion and constipation
Plus more
The good news is, I’m going to show you how you can rejuvenate your liver and help it heal itself. When you do that, you’ll feel healthier and younger. I’ve been a practicing D.C. for over 35 years.
How To Have A Healthy Liver.
If you’re well-read in health topics, you probably know that you can support a healthy liver by taking milk thistle. But here’s what you may not know…As good as milk thistle is, it is not enough to give your liver all the protection it needs. Why? For two reasons:
First: the liver needs a wide variety of nutrients to perform all its functions; milk thistle doesn’t have all the nutrition your liver needs to cope with its heavy workload.
Second: milk thistle benefits mostly your liver. But that is not enough, because…Your Liver Does NOT Function in Isolation
Its performance depends on the support it gets from other systems of your body, especially your adrenal glands. When your adrenal glands aren’t working properly, your liver struggles, too. In fact, scientists have found that up to 65% patients with weakened livers also have sluggish adrenals.
That shows you how your liver and adrenal glands are interdependent on one another. So for your liver to work optimally, you need to boost your adrenals, too. And one of the best ways to boost your adrenals is with licorice root.
Licorice is rich in a compound called glycyrrhizin (pronounce “glee-cir-rye-zin”). Glycyrrhizin slows the breakdown of adrenal hormones like cortisol, progesterone, and aldosterone. This takes a lot of stress off your adrenal glands. Licorice root doesn’t only support your adrenals. It supports your liver, too. Studies show it enhances liver function… defends against liver inflammation and injury… and prevents drug toxicity.
Study…Study…Study
scientists took a group of patients with clogged livers, and tested their livers for injury. They then gave half the group licorice root, and the other half a placebo. After 2 months, the licorice group saw their liver markers significantly improve. Which means their livers were recovering from injuries. What’s more, they also reduced their body fat, while the placebo group had an increase in body fat.
In another study, scientists gave 100 patients with chronic liver problems glycyrrhizin, the major compound in licorice root. Four weeks later, the patients saw an amazing 88% improvement in their liver function tests…plus an 86% decrease in their symptoms!
Yet another study, patients with inflamed livers were given glycyrrhizin twice a day. In just 3 months, their livers had no signs of inflammation. That’s remarkable.
