| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about how to improve your thyroid through fixing your liver, okay, and I'm talking |
| 0:25.5 | about a fatty liver. There's a huge significant link between hypothyroid conditions and a fatty |
| 0:34.0 | liver. The higher the liver enzymes are, the worse the thyroid is. And I'm talking about |
| 0:39.9 | thyroid stimulating hormone. It's going to be lower. Now, what is the connection between |
| 0:44.1 | these two organs? Well, if you don't know this, 80% of the conversion from T4, which is the |
| 0:54.0 | inactive thyroid hormone, the T3, which is the active thyroid hormone, occurs through your |
| 1:00.8 | liver. So the body needs the liver to convert most of that hormone. 20% is through the kidney. So |
| 1:11.2 | if there's kidney damage, that's also going to inhibit the conversion. So if you can improve the |
| 1:16.8 | liver, just by a little bit, you're going to create huge improvements in the thyroid. Now, |
| 1:20.8 | the other thing about hypothyroid conditions is that 90% of the time, it's a Hashimoto's |
| 1:25.8 | time. That's an autoimmune issue, which is different because there are antibodies against the |
| 1:31.4 | thyroid. So you basically have the immune system attacking the thyroid and that keeps it inflamed. |
| 1:37.2 | And that's another issue, too, because if the thyroid is not working and you develop Hashimoto's |
| 1:41.7 | hypothyroidism, just the fact that you have hypothyroidism, that can even contribute to a fatty liver. |
| 1:48.2 | But in the majority of the cases, the root cause of a fatty liver is either fructose or some |
| 1:55.0 | high carb diet. It is not the fact that you're eating that's causing the fatty liver, |
| 2:00.3 | like a lot of people talk about. It's the carbohydrates that are converting. Some of the studies |
| 2:04.9 | that people quote on having a high fat diet causes fatty liver. If you ever read them, they're |
| 2:10.6 | unmice and they're not actually just a high fat diet. They're a high fat, high carbohydrate diet. |
| 2:17.7 | If you mix the two, that's even worse because that's going to exaggerate things. So this is |
| 2:22.3 | what I'm going to recommend to improve this situation. We're just going to improve the function of |
| 2:27.9 | the liver, but there are certain things that we can actually work on both at the same time. |
