0:00.0	Yeah, so blood chemistry is the most scientifically validated.
0:11.0	It's internationally available and it's cheap.
0:15.0	So I really don't think there's a reason why anyone should not be doing this.
0:20.0	Is tracking the liver enzymes the transaminase enzymes
0:25.7	which are as t and al-t so these enzymes are things which normally live inside of the cells
0:31.7	and then for ALT in particular it's an enzyme that lives inside of hepatocyte, so liver cells.
0:43.0	And when someone is gradually marching towards type 2 diabetes,
0:47.7	you nearly almost see an elevation of these transaminase enzymes. Thank you. Welcome to episode 90 of Sigma Nutrition Radio, the podcast that brings you insightful discussions with researchers, doctors and coaches with the aim of stimulating critical

1:50.9	himself with various medical doctors as well as some functional medicine practitioners to
1:56.6	investigate how testing for some kind of key biomarkers give some really interesting information
2:02.6	that potentially can help us act on that and change our health around. And when I mentioned
2:08.3	some of the concepts that we had discussed, after first hearing Chris's story, I kind of brought
2:14.3	up the fact that as you regular listeners will know, this is very evidence-based show or really trying to base everything on being objective and using evidence.
2:25.2	And but with that in mind, I think there's a really interesting debate that often crops up of this functional medicine versus conventional medicine.
