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. 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? Okay.
If you don't make a ketone and you're like, I've had people, they're 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, 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, it's so interesting. I didn't know it was 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 would be another or you're, you know, 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, liver issue number one. Okay. So we go to things like how do you process alcohol? Like you know how there's certain people who like you go out to drink with them and after a couple 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 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.
Okay. So, I mean, there's a lot of, there's a lot of nuance in that, in that comment. So just 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. Yeah. The inside corner.
Yeah. The next one is okay. Okay. So, 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 sledge in it. So the circulation isn't freely getting down to the bottom of your feet. Have you ever asked someone to show you that?
Oh, yeah. Really? Yeah. Feet, eyes.
I want to know everything because it's feet, eyes, I want to know what your menstrual blood, I don't want you to see it, but I want to know, is it, 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 or 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 feet.
And if I look at my feet now, so I take a quick look, I had to remember really looking at the bottom of my feet. What is, what is the sign that my liver is not healthy? Looking at the bottom of my feet. It's the real dry cracks.
Oh, no, mine is, 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 sell pictures.
Oh, that's right. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God.
Oh my God. Oh my God. You're so accurate. Okay, interesting.
So here's a couple of daily routine of what to look at to be able to see how your body's functioning. So when I get up in the morning, that's one thing I do. I'm periodically, you know, throughout the day, looking in the corner of my eyes. Like where is there a yellow tinge in there?
So I look at that. I also look at my tongue every morning when I wake up. You look at your tongue. No, really?
Okay. So when you look at your tongue, is it a white coat on it? There's a white coat on it. That can be a sign of Candida of you too much yeast in your system and your body is detoxing.
You can also look at your tongue when you fast. 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 every morning. I look at my tongue. So because at night, you're kind of see what's detoxing out of you. So if it's white, what do I do?
If it's black, what do I do? So if it's white and black, you have Candida, that's a sign of too much yeast in the system. So I mean, fasting can help. Getting off sugar, alcohol, fruits can help.
We just find people who fast, especially if you go longer fast, it'll start to change. We've even done some interesting community fast where we have people watch their fast and they decide to break their fast based off what their tongue is doing. So if it's white and it's black and it's getting worse, keep going. If you can keep going until it starts to turn pink.
And then the outside of the tongue will actually start to turn pink. And then we know, okay, the yeast is starting to die off. Go ahead and break your fast. So that's one way that you can look at the tongue.
We already talked about the bottom of the feet periodically looking at that, your hair and your nails. So do you ever look at like the ridges of your nails? No. Okay.
So when there's a lot of ridges in your nails or how quickly your nails are growing, that can be a sign of mineral deficiency.
