Is your liver screaming for help?

Most people don’t realise it…
But their liver might be overloaded and silently begging for relief.

Here are 6 warning signs your liver is in trouble, and how to fix it 🧵

1. Constant fatigue that doesn’t go away

Feel tired all the time no matter how much you rest?

When your liver is overwhelmed, energy production tanks.
Why? Because the liver is the engine room of metabolism.

Fatigue is your body whispering… then yelling.

2. Frequent bloating, gas, and indigestion

Struggling with digestion even when eating "clean"?

Your liver makes bile — essential for breaking down fats.
When bile flow is sluggish, digestion suffers.

Bloating is often a sign your liver is struggling.

3. Nausea or fat intolerance

Do greasy foods make you nauseous?

A fatty or inflamed liver can't handle heavy meals.

If you feel sick after eating fatty foods, your liver might be overloaded with toxins and inflammation.

4. Itchy skin with no clear cause

Your skin is your backup detox organ.
When your liver is overwhelmed, toxins can build up and come out through your skin.

Unexplained itching could be your liver waving a red flag.

5. Mood swings, irritability, or brain fog

Your liver clears out toxins, including those that affect your brain.

When it’s dysfunctional, neurotransmitter metabolism takes a hit.

That’s when mood changes, anxiety, and mental fog creep in.

6. Weight gain, especially belly fat

Can’t lose fat around your midsection?

Liver dysfunction throws hormones and lipid metabolism out of balance, favoring visceral fat storage.

This isn’t just about diet, it’s metabolic chaos.

How to support your liver naturally 🛠️

→ Cut back on alcohol, sugar & ultra-processed junk
→ Eat liver-loving foods: artichoke, turmeric, dandelion, choline, silymarin
→ Move daily
→ Heal your gut, toxins often start in the intestines

Summary:

Your liver does over 500 critical tasks.

Don’t wait for a diagnosis to start caring for it.

Small daily habits can make a massive difference.

Support your liver → boost your energy, hormones, brain & metabolism.

Your body will thank you.
