A Few Signs that your Liver Needs Help
Fatigue, weakness, feeling sluggish
Blood sugar imbalances
Digestive issues - esp. having difficulty digesting fats
PMS and always abs.cramps
Waking up at night (2-4 am)
Body odor and bad breath
Migraines
Jaundice
White or yellow coated tongue
Swelling + fluid retention
Sensitivity to fragrances
Skin changes - esp. acne, rashes, red palms, itchy skin, eczema
Difficulty detoxing
NAFLD / Fatty Liver Disease
Blood markers: high iron, high glucose + insulin, cortisol, cholesterol and/or high estrogen.

Liver,
Some (not all) of its major functions related to detoxification , hormones + metabolism:
Regulates blood sugar (most people think pancreas, but liver is KING)
Supports the conversion of excess glucose into glycogen and stores it for later use, among many things.
Metabolizes + breaks down hormones (i.e. insulin, thyroid + sex hormones) into forms that can be eliminated
"Detox" - Filters excess hormones, toxins and waste from your body
The liver is a major organ responsible for clearing excessive histamine from the circulation
If it's not functioning properly or is overwhelmed with toxins, its ability to detoxify hormones is compromised.
Critical to cholesterol metabolism which is KEY to making steroid hormones (such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, aldosterone)
I.E. If you have high cholesterol = look at liver inflammation.

Top Tips for Liver Health
Focus on blood sugar balance, not overwhelm your liver constantly
Support methylation (esp. if MTFHR variation).
Focus on B vitamin foods such as dark leafy greens,red meat , liver, pastured eggs, avocado, properly prepared lentils + beans, radish, spring onions.
Pro tip: avoid synthetic forms of folate such as folic acid.
Support Detoxification pathways:
Antioxidants, seasonal fruits, fermented foods (kimchi, pickles, sauerkraut, etc.), cruciferous/fiber rich foods (properly prepared vegetables)
Remove High Fructose Corn Syrup, refined sugar, alcohol, NSAIDs, and other medications
Consider investing in a water filter
lymphatic manipulation + massage
Jumping, sauna, hot/cold therapy, sweating daily

Top Tips for Liver Health
• Boost Glutathione
Nutrients such as: Sulfur rich foods (garlic, onions); Vitamin C; Selenium (Brazil nuts);
Supplement if necessary (bio-inidivudal, can be NAC.
Include herbs like turmeric, green coriander, p, and oregano
BILE production is key, include nutrients that support bile production
Eat bitter foods / tinctures (dandelion greens, bitter melon, and radicchio)
Don't skimp on healthy fats like ghee butter for n-butyrate production
Consume Choline (eggs esp. yolks, liver, chicken)
Include nutrients like: beet juice, high quality sea
salt, turmeric, artichoke extract, Magnesium = all
critical for supporting enzymatic functions + bile production.

Top Tips for Liver Health
Daily bowel movements are a MUST
If you're not having daily BM, then this is a concern and should be looked into (multiple causes)
Morning sunlight exposure (it's great for vitamin D production + can support jaundice treatment)
Sweat daily
Exercise
Evaluate environment, air, water, toxic cosmetics, pesticides, glyphosate, heavy metals, etc)
Castor oil not when pregnant), massage , rebounding, sauna, ice/cold therapies
Avoid: alcohol, refined sugar, seed oils, High Fructose Corn Syrup, xenoestrogens, plastics, BPA, unfiltered water (perchlorates), flame retardants
Some ideas: switch to glass containers, invest in water + air filters, use non toxic cookware (wood tools, ceramic, stainless steel, etc).
