Gamma-glutamyltransferase

so what you have to do is you have to go see your doctor that you trust and you have to get some lab work checked and maybe some some imaging studies done to see if you have fatty liver or not when you go see your doctor what signs are there that you might have fatty liver that he'll see well you might have a protuberant abdomen right your belly might be sticking out that's that could be fatty liver you just do your skin power if you're if you have a terrible fatty liver you may have some skin color changes but maybe not so he's gonna check some lab work and I'm gonna tell you the lab work that you need to have checked and your doctor should know this but jot these tests down just so that you have a complete list and you make sure everything gets checked the first thing you want to check is a complete metabolic panel a CMP that's number one and that tests your liver from several different angles it also looks at a test called alkaline phosphatase which is also important that can give you a heads up that something's not right with the liver or other organs.

Also, you need a GGT, a gamma glutamyl transferase, GGT.

That's a good specific test for liver damage and damage to the biliary system in general.

Next is a C-peptide, because if your C-peptide is elevated, then that means you're becoming or are insulin resistant, and that's almost invariably linked to fatty liver.

Alkaline phosphatase went up in the high fruit group, down in the low fruit group.

GGT, another excellent marker for overall liver health, went up in the high fruit group, down in the low fruit group.

Triglycerides, yes, that triglycerides went up significantly in the high fruit group and went down significantly in the low fruit group.

The average glucose reading for the fruit group went up.

If you just search Dr. Barry Thyroid on YouTube, you should find it.

You also need a GGT, a hepatitis panel as well.

Sometimes people with chronic hepatitis that's never been diagnosed, the way they're diagnosed is they go to the doctor complaining of burning.

in their feet and toes and legs.

We want it to be under seven.

And then there's liver enzymes, AST, ALT, GGT.

Because if the liver enzymes are spiked, sometimes that's years prior and that you ever become a type two diabetic, but you're somewhere on this insulin resistance spectrum.

That's insulin resistance is the leading cause of heart attack and stroke.

I'd say lower than two, hopefully lower than one.

There's one liver enzyme that I like called GGT, which can give you an information about inflammation in the liver.

So if your liver is dealing with something like endotoxins or toxic burden or something, that could be elevated.

But just because it's not doesn't mean that your liver is not dealing with it and it's just doing a good job of it and doing a good enough job that It keeps that enzyme lower.

So, so yeah, if you have fatty liver, if your liver enzymes are even the slightest bit elevated and you don't have any reason to think about like, why, why was that? Like if you're not um a heavy drinker or um any you know there could be any number of reasons but it's important to like be aware and to start addressing that and then correlating it with again what's showing up for you Yeah.

And, and running more than one marker, I think is also very important because someone's liver enzymes may be fine, but then we look at their GGT and it's sky high.

And so we miss the liver problem with the liver enzymes, but we catch it because we have another marker that's picking that up.

Exactly.
