Liver Toxicity: Causes, Treatments & Prevention.

If you’re new to my channel, my name is Dr. Sean O’Mara. I’m a Health Optimization Physician, which means I help people get rid of chronic disease and take their health to the next level without using pharmaceuticals or surgeries. I’ve spent the last 15 years researching and practicing the real secrets to health optimization myself. Since anyone can say anything online these days, let me give you some details you can look up and verify for yourself.

Here’s how I got here…

46 yrs old: Overweight and suffering from heart disease, back pain, and sleepless nights. I was diagnosed with atherosclerosis, Barrett’s esophagus, and degenerative joint disease.
47 yrs old: Doctors recommended surgery and more meds. I wasn’t ready to accept that.
48 yrs old: Received a research grant from the National Science Foundation.
48 yrs old: Spent the next 7 years studying disease at its root—working 4 a.m. to 7 p.m. every single day, all while supporting my family with a part-time job.
49 yrs old: During my research, I found the breakthrough: visceral fat, the hidden fat deep inside the body, was linked to nearly every chronic disease.
51 yrs old: I uncovered the key to reversing disease—eliminating visceral fat.
53 yrs old: I removed all my visceral fat. With it, I reversed every health issue—heart disease, back pain, atherosclerosis, and more.
54 yrs old: I dedicated my life to helping others achieve the same results.
55 yrs old: Started working with high performers—entrepreneurs, athletes, and executives—to optimize their health naturally, without relying on drugs or surgery.

Today: I work with people who want to optimize their health and appearance to match their level of success. We’re not just talking about removing disease. We’re taking health to levels that most doctors and pharmaceuticals say is impossible.

To everyone out there struggling with their health, you’re either writing a story of recovery or you’re still trapped by disease. The bigger the problem, the more incredible your comeback story will be!

Keep going. Your health is worth fighting for.

Never quit,
Dr. Sean

P.S. Don’t just grow older... grow better!

Visceral fat, liver fat, and so much other excellent information you share. Awesome channel.

[NoTrashInHeaven]

Thank you, Dr. Sean, for bringing these common supplements' dangers to our attention. It's all too easy to hear an attractive person talk about what's commonly used as a substitute for an Rx or supplement without delving into the studies, or lack of.

[eoamulo]

Dr. Sean is always inspirational and his videos are very informational!

[douganderson]

I like this video. A few years ago I was following the government and medical Fields recommendations of going more plant-based. Based on some of the science being reported, I was also supplementing many of the items you listed in this video. I quit because it felt like it was not working well with my liver. Until now I thought maybe I had some problems. Thank you for presenting this study

[chargermopar]

Turmeric and ashwaganda are so popular I have friends who swear by them. I grow turmeric in my own yard and give the roots away. I do not consume any of the items you have mentioned here. No supplements or medications. Thanks again for giving me more info I can share with my friends.

Whats the best time of day to take and dose for NAC?

[MarieCorbo]

Really cool to hear your high praise on NAC. I’ve always been suspicious of turmeric, wondered if it functions like a natural NSAID, which are not always safe.

suffered migraines last year - was taking paracetamols and anti inflammatory based on chemist and nurse advice - liver enzymes were extremely elevated in my blood test. The only question I was asked was if I drink? No. I stopped those straight away. And been taking taurine and choline for my liver, 12months later blood test results: liver enzymes have significantly improved, I'm still a little elevated but I'll keep working on my diet and sprinting. It truly is silent and doctors aren't aware at least in Australia they aren't.

Question for you on fermented fruits. What are they. From making wine?

[piedpiper]

Doc when can we buy a paper copy of the book, i want to buy it for my parents (and myself)!

[Dremix]

Hi Sean. Love your videos. You sum up 6 supps which could actually lead to liver toxicity. After that you talk about NAC in a positive way. Isn't sulfur part of NAC and as far as I have seen there are studies which show sulfur inhibit the ALDH enzymes. I know you say not to take to much of it. I would love to hear if you have seen/read the studies about sulfur inhibiting ALDH which is an important part of detoxing acetaldehyde into acetate?

[teribond]

Love the no nonsense, no BS information.

[artperez]

Great info, Dr. Sean! Can you provide some additional information on the use of natural supplements (e.g., ginger, berberine, cacao nibs, fish oil) that you've mentioned in the past for use in place of medications like ibuprofen to help with injury pain/inflammation, etc.

[mwittner]

Hi Sean, great video. I would love to know your thoughts on histamine intolerance. I am very sensitive to histamine. Do you think I can still do fermented foods? Any suggestions? Plus, I have RA and quite a bit of belly fat. Cheers.

[keithkucerak]

I wish I knew about Sean and his story before I had to failed BPH surgeries thankfully I’m getting better every day as part of his recommended diet. I would love to sprint, but I have an inguinal hernia. Anybody have a suggestion besides surgery

[zayd]

Dr omara. Is leg hair loss caused by peripheral neuropathy, ? Do u believe in ankle branchial index test ?

[SWH]

Can you make a video on how you ferment fruit?

[jc]

What supplement brand do you recommend for NAC?

[RandyM]

Follow people who have results. I agree!

Results are everything.

[purseypurslane]

How many milligrams of NAC do you take and what brand? There are so many out there, please tell us which specific one you take. Thanks!
