Yeah, I mean, within four months on the plan, his liver functions came down to totally normal. He lost 10 of those pounds, and then within a few more months, he lost another 10 pounds.

So at this point, he does have one or two glasses of wine a few days a week. He does drink some alcohol at this point. He never, as I said, he never had a problem with alcohol abuse or alcohol overuse disorder. It just was, he was drinking too much for his body. And so at this point in time, he's having a little bit of alcohol and doing okay with that.

Right. I mean, they can happen quickly. Fatty liver can develop quickly. They know that within two weeks of heavy drinking, having one and a half to two ounces of hard alcohol every day for two weeks, you can start to see signs of fatty liver, which is, you know, It can develop very quickly. What's great to also understand within a lot of this research is that it can resolve quickly.

So when somebody has fatty liver because of alcohol and you take them off of alcohol, that you can see resolution of fatty liver within four to six weeks. So that is interesting. It can progress, unfortunately, quickly if we're not taking care of ourselves. And then it also regresses when we start to make some shifts.

And as you were mentioning, we're seeing this huge rise in fatty liver, not only because of alcohol, but because of how high blood sugar, high levels of insulin, toxins like glyphosate and all the other toxins you mentioned. medications that people are taking all are putting stress on our liver and making it so then our liver can't do what it needs to do to detoxify.

So it becomes this vicious cycle of we're inundated with toxins that are impacting our liver, but then the liver can't work as well. And so then we can't get rid of the toxins that we're inundated with. So it becomes a vicious cycle of having issues with our detoxification system in our body.
