Why Can't I Lose Weight?

So many people come to me to lose weight and of course thyroid, hormone, candida issues aside, there is also one component that has to be addressed to effectively lose weight and keep it off.  That component is the health of the liver.  With everyone eating the standard American diet which is loaded with pesticides, antibiotics, sugar and hormones our liver is paying the price.  Furthermore, the intake of pharmaceutical drugs and alcohol that is so prevalent in our culture is not helping.  When too many of these substances are digested this causes inflammation and can lead to a leaky gut (food and toxins leak thru damaged intestine walls).  Food and toxins are then trapped in fat cells that are accumulated in the liver.  The liver's function is to process everything we drink or eat and filter any harmful substances in the blood.  This process is interfered with if too much fat has accumulated in the liver. This in turn can cause a variety of conditions including, diabetes, obesity, chronic fatigue, high cholesterol, chronic inflammation, food allergies and metabolic syndrome to name a few.  The liver can regenerate itself and here are a few things I recommend to keep it as healthy as possible!

• A liver cleanse-www.truthkeeperz.com/andreas.mortiz.-.the.amazing.liver.cleanse.pdf this is a healthy cleanse that should be done precisely and exactly as the directions say.
• Red Palm Oil-this regenerates liver cells, normalizes elevated liver enzymes and inhibits inflammatory factors in the body.  www.livermedic.com
• Hepatiben-regenerates liver cells, repairs GI tract, anti-inflammatory, and liver/gut repair. www.livermedic.com
• Foods that detoxify your liver- garlic, green tea, turmeric, leafy greens, avocados, and citrus fruits. 
• Foods/substances to limit- alcohol, pharmaceutical drugs, processed foods, processed meats, sugar and pesticides (eat organic when possible). 
• Detox your emotions.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine each of our organs has an emotional component which is just as important as its physical function in the body. Anger is the emotion associated with the liver.  I have found that unresolved or repressed anger issues can keep weight on individuals.  I have found a rather quick, effective way to release anger is acupuncture and quantum energy healing.  This will help release any repressed emotions and help bring one to a more balanced state.   

Even if you are not diagnosed with a fatty liver or have symptoms, I guarantee incorporating a cleanse once a year and following the aforementioned suggestions will help with your weight loss and help your body be in a more vibrant, light state!!!  


Many blessings to you,
Jennifer
