is is is it is it is really really high and unfortunately it's increasing um but about 90 million people in the u.s have fatty liver disease and so that's uh it's and it's increasing in this country it's increasing worldwide the amount of fatty liver we are seeing so um

Yeah. So. I had a 50 year old gentleman who came in to see me and he was told by his primary doctor that his liver function tests, his ALT and AST were mildly elevated. And so he came in because he was frustrated with his weight. He wanted to lose some weight. He was about 25 pounds overweight.

And he just mentioned to me that his doctor had said his liver function tests were a little elevated and that they were gonna be rechecking them in a few months.

And so, you know, we really got a good detailed history from him and we got a sense of what he was what his diet was like and and and, you know, what his what his alcohol consumption was like, because, you know, that's one of the first things, of course, we think about with, you know, fatty liver or.

or these elevated liver function tests were like, okay, how much alcohol is this person consuming? And what was interesting to me about him was he was pretty moderate in his alcohol consumption. He was having about two glasses of wine a night. And so not for a man, that kind of almost falls within what's considered moderation. So I was, um, you know, he was not a binge drinker.

He was not overusing alcohol from the, from the criteria we were talking about earlier, but I think the amount of alcohol he was consuming in, in connection with his diet and probably his genetics and many other things like his microbiome that we've spoken about, you know, that altogether was really impacting these liver functions for him. And so, um,

And so, um,

We noticed with his diet, it was not rich enough in vegetables, that's for sure. And really, that was probably the biggest thing I would say with his diet. It was just devoid of a lot of vegetables. And you were talking about some of the things, supplements we use for... helping the liver. You know, one of the things we think a lot about is sulforaphane, right?

Which comes from your cruciferous vegetables that helps and encourages the production of glutathione in the body. And so one of the things we really worked on with him is making sure he got some cruciferous vegetables every day, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, you know, really to help support, uh, the, uh, liver and help it heal.
