Today I want to talk about our liver health. You know, the liver is so important on many levels. But before I talk about the liver, I want to talk about Chinese medicine and acupuncture. I've studied acupuncture. When I first moved to Santa Fe, I met an oriental medical doctor, and he really opened my consciousness around the potency of using ACC acupuncture, as a form of therapy. I was suffering from chronic headaches, I've had a little fatigue because it had been a pretty hard move from the East Coast out to Santa Fe, it was a little depleted and going to my acupuncture doctor for a few months, I found that my energy returned, my digestion improved, my sleep got better.

First of all, the liver produces bile, which helps carry away waste waste products. And it also helps break down fats. And I've talked about in other podcasts. If you're taking fat soluble vitamins like vitamin A, lutein, zeaxanthin, and your eyes are not getting better it could be because the liver is stressed the liver produces the bile the gallbladder stores the bile, but if you're not producing or storing the bile properly, then you're having a difficult time breaking down these fat soluble vitamins. So you're not absorbing these very important nutrients into your eyes. So if you've got conditions like dry eye, macular degeneration, cataracts glaucoma, just to name a few and you are taking either healthy supplements or foods and you're not getting better. It could be because your liver is not working properly. Now another thing that the liver does is it helps regula...
