This episode details a checklist for assessing liver health, including ketone production, alcohol metabolism, and physical signs like eye and foot condition. It also covers daily self-checks like tongue and nail examination, and strategies for addressing candida and mineral deficiencies through fasting and regenerative farming.
Actionable Insights

1. Assess Ketone Production During Fasting

Test your ketone levels with a reader after 20+ hours of fasting; an inability to produce ketones suggests a potential liver issue or that you are not feeling the benefits of fasting.

2. Evaluate Alcohol Metabolism Speed

Observe how quickly your body metabolizes alcohol; a rapid metabolism indicates better liver function in processing toxins compared to a slower metabolism.

3. Daily Tongue Examination for Candida

Check your tongue every morning for a white or black coat, as this can signal candida (too much yeast) in your system that is detoxing out.

4. Resolve Candida Through Fasting & Diet

If your tongue shows signs of candida, consider fasting and eliminating sugar, alcohol, and fruits; continue fasting until your tongue starts to turn pink, indicating yeast die-off.

5. Check Eye Corner for Yellowing

Periodically check the inside corner of your eye (next to your nose) for a yellow tinge, which can be a sign of liver stagnation according to iridology.

6. Inspect Feet for Dry Cracks

Regularly examine the bottom of your feet for dryness and cracking, as this can indicate poor circulation and that the liver may not be effectively detoxing.

7. Monitor Nails for Mineral Deficiency

Observe your nails for ridges or slow growth, as these can be indicators of mineral deficiency.

8. Prioritize Regenerative Farm Foods

To ensure adequate mineral intake, prioritize eating fruits and vegetables sourced from regenerative farms, as they have richer mineral content due to healthier soil.

9. Integrate Fasting with Regenerative Diet

Combine daily fasting windows to allow the body to repair and heal, with an eating window focused on fruits and vegetables from regenerative farms to replenish nutrients.

10. Supplement Key Minerals While Fasting

During your fasting window, consider supplementing with essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and selenium to add support to your system.
