Because liver problems often show up in your feet, I explain the signs and symptoms to look for. For a full diagnosis of liver disease, please see your doctor.

Red and brown dots, which can also be shiny, can appear on the lower leg. This indicates poor circulation. It could also be diabetes, but you see this a lot in people with liver problems.

You may also see spider veins (spider nevus). This can be an indication of too much estrogen in the liver. If your heels are cracked, this is usually a vitamin B3 deficiency or an omega 3 fatty acid deficiency. One function of the liver is to make bile to help your body absorb fatty acids including vitamin A and vitamin E.

Itching on the bottom of your foot indicates a backup of fluids into the liver. For example, if bile backs up and your liver is congested, you could be getting a build up of histamines.

Pain or inflammation in the bottom of the foot often mimics plantar fasciitis, but can be a liver problem. You can also have hot feet, and bad odor when your liver can’t detoxify correctly so toxins are leaking out through your skin.

Usually if someone’s liver is bad, it means their diet is bad, and their body is full of toxins. Chances are, if your liver is bad so too are your kidneys and colon.

If you have pitting edema is also a common liver symptom. You may also have toenail fungus. People with liver problems often have more fungus in and on their body, due to an imbalance of their gut microflora. You may also experience dandruff and psoriasis. Your nail beds turn white.

Common causes of liver problems include medications, sugar (especially high fructose corn syrup), cooked foods, too few vegetables, excessive alcohol, and excessive protein.

A healthy ketogenic diet combined with intermittent fasting is best for a healthy liver.

Now you know how to spot liver problems, understand their causes, and how to get your liver healthy again.

I have most of these symptoms. My general practitioner is useless. He knows nothing except what Big Pharma tells him to know.

I am 58 years old. I was 380 and started KETO lost 40lbs and now 340 and my vascular problems in my feet are starting to subside. Pitting edema is almost gone, neuropathy in my feet have decreased. I am feeling better but a long way to go. But I am loving the food lifestyle. Not missing sugar, bread pasta or grains. I have 2 friends started because of seeing how I am doing. I create my own recipes, cooking from scratch and posting on FB. LOVING KETO!!!!! Thank you for all the advice.

If they ever devise an AI way of preserving people, they definitely need to do so for Dr Berg and I want him enabled to explain everything.

I am 66. Been on KETO since January when I was diagnosed with a FATTY Liver... Down 73 lbs. And SURPRISE, SURPRISE, my toe nail Fungus that I've battling for 3 + YEARS is now almost ALL GONE! I actually started taking pictures of my toe to document the changes. I was AMAZED.

Dr. Berg can be trusted. I've never met the man, but his studies are exactly ON TARGET. THUMBS UP.
