Liver Toxicity, Blood Sugar Dysregulation, Neuro Toxins and Endotoxins

When diets are high in processed foods, sugar, omega 6 fats and low in fiber, the toxic bacteria grows and crosses the intestinal barrier

How toxins impact us…

•The body stores fat and re-program cells to become fat cells

•The liver becomes insulin resistant, the pancreas pump out more insulin that turns energy into fat all over the body

•Prevents leptin (a hormone that reduces appetite) from being released from your fat cells to tell your body you are full

Foods to eliminate:

•• GMO’s

Genetically modified foods can alter gut bacteria, contribute to inflammation, and place added stress on the liver. Many individuals with autoimmune issues or digestive sensitivities notice significant improvement when removing GMO-based products from their diet.

• High fructose corn syrup / fructose

These sweeteners rapidly spike blood sugar, burden the liver, and contribute to fatty liver disease, cravings, and hormonal imbalances. HFCS is found in many processed foods—even ones that don’t taste sweet—making label reading essential.

• MSG

Monosodium glutamate is an excitotoxin that overstimulates the nervous system. For many, it triggers headaches, dizziness, bloating, and increased appetite. MSG is commonly hidden under names like “natural flavors” or “yeast extract.”

• Farmed Fish

Farmed fish often contain antibiotics, hormones, and higher levels of toxins due to their feed and living conditions. These contaminants can disrupt thyroid health, digestion, and weight regulation. Wild-caught options are always preferable.

• Microwave popcorn

Microwave popcorn bags frequently contain chemicals and artificial flavorings linked to hormone disruption and inflammation. The oils used are usually unstable vegetable oils that oxidize easily, making them hard for the liver to process.

• Vegetable oils / oils used when eating out

Highly processed oils such as canola, soybean, safflower, and corn oil are pro-inflammatory and contribute to insulin resistance and weight loss resistance. Restaurants typically use these oils because they are inexpensive, but they are damaging to the gut and liver.

• Rice – has high levels of arsenic, with brown rice containing higher levels than white.

Arsenic exposure over time contributes to hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, and digestive irritation. Although rice can fit into a balanced diet, choosing organic brands tested for low arsenic, rotating grains, and avoiding daily consumption helps reduce toxic load.
