When that process is overloaded, then your fat cells, which actually your fat is, I don't know if you've done a podcast on this, but your fat is like an endocrine organ. It makes things like adiponectin. When the process is bad, adiponectin levels can go down, which causes more insulin resistance and more inflammation.

It makes things like adiponectin. When the process is bad, adiponectin levels can go down, which causes more insulin resistance and more inflammation.

And then there are other hormones that can go up in the liver that can cause inflammation, like tumor necrosis factor. like leptin, so those go up and now that inflammation and worsening insulin resistance and all that fat make its way throughout the body and they go in the liver and the liver starts to accumulate and accumulate and accumulate and it just can't keep up with it.

The liver packages it and sends it back to the fat. The fat takes it up. But then because of the insulin resistant, it shoots it right back to the liver. And you end up with this vicious cycle. In the meantime, the liver is not supposed to be storing fat. The liver is supposed to be making all these metabolic processes. It's supposed to repackage the fat.

And now when it gets overloaded and jam-packed, Now the liver starts to get inflamed. It starts to rust, oxidative stress. Sugar starts to get worse. And it kind of creates this metabolic nightmare.

Right. And see, and the thing is, I mean, we could just go, we could probably do a whole podcast on when you have fatty liver, all of the other imbalances, all of the other things that are thrown off in the human body.

Unfortunately, too many providers, too many doctors take a look at, say, oh, you have fatty liver, lose weight, and they don't really talk to them about it again, when really that is driving heart disease. It's driving Alzheimer's disease. It's driving cancer. The liver is supposed to be metabolizing our toxins. So now your liver is not working. It causes hormone imbalances.
