This is one of those episodes I usually reserve for my mentorship courses and the practitioners I train, so I'm really glad I decided to bring it to the show. There is so much noise right now on Instagram and TikTok about liver health and gallbladder health, but a 20-slide carousel can only go so deep. My hope is that hearing this explained — with real stories and analogies — actually moves you to explore your own digestive health in a meaningful way. In this episode, I cover: Why your liver, digestive system, and nervous system are interconnected — and what happens when one goes offline The constellation of symptoms that get dismissed as "just IBS" or "just perimenopause" (bloating, bowel irregularities, right-sided shoulder ache, mood swings, waking between 1–3 AM, and more) How your liver metabolizes estrogen — and what estrogen dominance really signals about liver load The two phases of liver detoxification, which nutrients support each phase (B vitamins, magnesium bisglycinate, glycine, NAC), and what happens when those phases become sluggish The gallbladder's role as the liver's partner — and why removing it without addressing root cause is a missed opportunity The gut–brain axis, the vagus nerve, and why 90% of your serotonin is made in the gut Beta-glucuronidase — why your gut microbiome is directly influencing your hormone balance Blood work markers to request from your doctor: ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, ferritin, fasting insulin, HbA1c, full lipid panel, and more Functional testing I recommend: comprehensive stool test, Dutch Complete, HTMA, and when to consider an OAT test Nutrition priorities: cruciferous vegetables, bitter greens, fiber diversity, healthy fats, choline (please don't ditch the egg yolk), and eating in a parasympathetic state Supplement support for the liver, gut, and nervous system — including Hepato DR, L-glutamine, GI Revive, ox bile, calcium D-glucarate, and adaptogens Let's dive in!
