Today I’m going to cover the best foods to reestablish the full function of your liver, to help your liver detoxify at the highest level. 

The main function of the liver is to detoxify toxins. The liver doesn’t store toxins unless you have a fatty liver because the toxins are stored in the fat cells. When your liver is inflamed, it heals with scar tissue, leading to cirrhosis and many other health issues. 

A few main functions of the liver:
• It can detoxify 
• It makes bile 
• It produces hormones 

Symptoms of a damaged liver:
• Itchiness 
• Jaundice
• Lethargy

4. Beets

      Dr Berg, Thanks for the way you explain where we all can understand. I am just beginning Keto and If. I am 70 yrs old and am a strong believer that is it never to late to change things in your life to be the best you can be. So glad I found you.

    • InHisteps

      Dr. Eric Berg’s detailed insight is rare which means he genuinely cares about the well-being of all. Well worth watching each program through.

    • Marc Be

      Thank you doc for your advice. I started intermittent fasting a year ago and I’ve reduced my weight by >20%. All my pre-diabetes and obesity symptoms disappeared. When I plateaued in my weight loss, I went OMAD and broke my fast every day with a green smoothie loaded with most of the food listed in this video and it helped me to break through while feeling better than ever. I’ve heard from a friend naturopath that turmeric effects are enhanced if combined with black pepper and fat.
      In my green smoothie, I used to put: a handful of raw kale or cabbage, 1/2 cup of blueberries or raspberries, a tropical fruit (banana, mango or pineapple), a clove of garlic, 1 tbsp of turmeric, pepper freshly milled, a pinch of salt, 1/2 avocado, 1 tbsp of grape seed oil, 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil, some organic apple cider vinegar or some lime juice, a few goji berries, a spoon of monkey bread flour, and a selection of spices: cayenne pepper, cinnamon, marjolaine, nutmeg, thyme, rosemary, ginger… in small quantities. All diluted in water or kombucha tea. Every day I am combining those ingredients for not eating twice the same smoothie.
      I’ve heard from a study that breaking fast with carbs is a mistake that could cancel the benefits of fasting, and it’s better to break with proteins, fat or vegetables. From my experience with the daily smoothie to break fast, it worked. I went from 31% body fat to 20%. My goal is to reach 14%.

        I agree with you Aviyaytor. I came to know about Dr. Berg two months ago. From then I have been watching minimum three videos daily. AT times I watch the same video again. I cannot thank enough for the priceless knowledge shared with us. The presentation is so simple and with pictures it is very easy to understand.

    • Michael Mckinney

      I highly recommend the informative videos of Dr. Eric Berg. Knowing which foods to avoid and which foods to consume is the first place to start and Dr Berg’s tutorials are a user friendly guide to learning and implementing new strategies that have been proven to increase natural vitality. Thank you Dr. Berg.

      • YeshuaLovesYou

        It would be very beneficial if he would do a time list on the subjects he covers because he’s leaving people in the dark on what exactly the topic name that he’s speaking about forever!!! Thanks for the info

    • JNG FITNESS

      I include garlic religiously in almost everything I eat. My preferred choice of oils is olive oil and as for turmeric, I include that in my daily disease prevention morning wellness drink. At 50, I feel far more alive, vibrant, clear headed and stronger than I EVER felt in my 20’s during college when my diet consisted of beer, pizza and Chinese take out!!!

      • Harry Porter

        I’ll be 50 next year. My goal is to be you. …lol….. But seriously it is, and I will!

      • JNG FITNESS

        @Harry Porter Indeed!! 😎💪🏽🤙🏽

    • Scott Richardson

      Was watching this again for the umpteenth time as I always forget what foods were mentioned. Realized I ate 5 out of 7 for dinner. I blindly just followed Dr Berg’s routines for eating. I feel like I’ve watched enough that I’ve molded my eating habits for the better, for good! Much thanks. I’m so much healthier than ever.

    • Reclaiming Minds

      Absolutely invaluable content Dr Berg- thank you! All of these recommendations are fids that I enjoy, I now only use olive, coconut, avocado oils. Thanks to you my heart palpitations have almost vanished 😊. I was consuming far too many carbs. Since reducing these, my arrhythmia has noticeably reduced saving me from a life of medications which I have never been a fan of! Keep up your brilliant work which is helping millions around the world 😁!

      • rodica popescu

        invaluable and priceless are not the same, i wouldn”t use invaluable to express what you said in your comment

      • Leonor Sabeniano

        Thank you very much for your advice of what foods can detoxify our liver. I will now take these foods for my daily menu.More power Doc.

      • Red Sky Nights

        Strictly coconut oil for me; But about arrhythmia; I’m full recovered and able to run mountains again thanks to medication combined with electric shock hospital treatment. Twice for me.

    • Rhonda Reyes

      Wow, I love watching your videos. They are so simple to understand and implement into my daily diet. I am 57 and beginning to experience on a daily basis many of the symptoms described in your other liver videos. I was already scheduling a visit to the local Farmers Market for this Sunday for some Raw Milk Kefir…now I have an entire shopping list thanks to your informative videos! BTW: I had my gall bladder removed when I was 35yo…so yeah, I’m starting to feel the issues as my body changes. Time to step it up and get things under control before they worsen.

      • Trish R.

        I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago. Dr Berg has a few videos on that. I take at least one Ancestral Grass Fed Gallbladder capsule per day. On an empty stomach. If I’m eating a little more that I take a second one with the heavier meal. After I purchased it I saw that Dr Berg has a formula. I would say read about what you want to try and pick the one you like best. So far it helps my digestive system. I only started taking it in the past few months, because I was never told I would need it. Compare prices per serving/amount, most may seem less expensive until you do that.

      • Rhonda Reyes

        @Trish R. Thanks Trish, I really appreciate the advice. I am looking into the different options of products like Dr. Bergs Gallbladder Formula. I also see he has a package of supplements based on body type. Wow, so much to figure out! For now, I’ll keep doing my due diligence on products and try to figure out which body type I fall into the most. I will consider the serving/amount in the cost because the price tag on things is a very, very big deal right now. Meanwhile, I’m keeping with the natural “food as medicine” on a FLEXatarian diet mainly veggies80/20 until I figure it all out. Thanks again, bless you and be well.

    • XenoGuru

      Turmeric and Milk Thistle saved my life. After a week of taking them with fasting;
      I was eating WAY less than I used to, probably from my blood sugar and insulin finally balancing out after years of poor eating habits.
      I’m back under 200 lbs for the first time in 9 years. Thank you for the great advice Doc

      • Nadia Black

        Can anyone in here please tell me how to use the turmeric and when buying milk thistle, what to buy ? Thanks

      • XenoGuru

        @Nadia Black They all come in capsule form. You can find it at any vitamin store. The powder or seed form is more difficult to find; you normally have to look in a special type of grocery store for them

      • Nadia Black

        @XenoGuru great thanks for the info, I wasn’t sure how to buy them for the best. I have a good shop near me I will get them tomorrow, thanks again

      • S Becker

        @Nadia Black I make up a drink called golden milk which has turmeric in it. I understand turmeric is best taken with oil and black pepper to make it more bio-available. I use almond milk and also add ashwangandha and honey.

      • Annabel Boulton

        ​@shelley ann alleyne Yes, I had migrane. Maybe because of my body was detoxificating

    • J A Chu

      I think if We had Dr Berg when I was in high school, I would have considered taking up medicine or medical science as a course and career. You breakdown medical facts so much better to understand. Thank you for educating us about health. More power to you

    • Angelina Kulinski

      This is amazingly uncomplicated. Very encouraging and motivating. Not overloaded with unnecessary information. Thank you for leading us into a better way to deal with a damaged liver. Kudos and respect. Better than an expensive doctors appointment. Wow

    • Brooke

      Thank you for taking your precious time to educate us. I am grateful for you Dr. Berg.

    • David Williams

      I swear this man has helped me more than any primary care doctor I have had in the last 20 yrs! Dr. Berg God bless you sir!

    • Rita

      Dr. Berg, thank you so much for all the helpful and life saving information that you are sharing with us. I’m pretty sure no one is the same person after watching your videos, cause we get so much information that is impossible to get through our daily routine studies and research . Thank you 🙏
