Ann Louise discusses how the liver and lymphatic system process fat, and why most people fail to burn excess fat: they don't exercise their lymphatics. She recommends unsweetened cranberry juice to support lymphatic detoxification and mentions her mentor, a lifelong healer, lived to 106.
Bulletproof radio, a state of high performance.
We're in a different world now where people recognize that the type of fat you eat matters. At least some do. Certainly everyone here listening today does. Anyone who's listening to more than one episode of my show will hear you say, different fats do different things, different proteins do different things. But what you talk about too is what different organs do different things. And you were a very early voice saying, the liver is a primary fat burning organ and detoxer.
Yes.
And lymphatics are the body's fat processing system. Can you tell me more about how you came to that conclusion and just explain what that means for all of us?
I just noted that a lot of people were not eating the proper kind of fats, nor getting rid of them, because they weren't exercising the lymphatic system, which is the garbage collecting system of the body. And I studied in 1974, maybe a year after you were born, if I'm not mistaken, two years after October 30, 1972, 73. I sat in this woman's office who taught me all about the liver and how important it was to burn fats with the liver by having three particular nutrients. She said we were very deficient in acetyl, methionine and choline. So I began seeing that people had to have foods that were high in those elements, such as sunflower lecithin, such as butter, such as cla rich butter, raw butter. And I began realizing that we needed the right kind of fats to burn fat. And you needed the ability to detoxify your lymphatic system by taking extra cranberry juice. So I. I really was. The signature element of all my programs was unsweetened cranberry juice because it actually targeted the lymphatic system and digested fats through the lymphatics. So it was really all these people that I studied with at that time, they weren't marketers, they were real healers. I learned, I saw, I respected their wisdom. And my initial teacher died at the age of 106.
