6 Ways to a Natural Liver Detoxification

Covid got you drinking and eating more than normal? Or maybe it is causing you to pull your hair out from stress!

Truth: cravings are caused by:

• Lack of primary food. Meaning bored, stressed, lack of purpose in career or life, strained relationships, lack of sleep & movement, or emotional disruptions caused by COVID!

When the body is overloaded with junk from drinking, eating, ingesting chemicals & drugs (illegal/legal), stress, etc. the liver becomes clogged. Think of the liver as a vacuum cleaner, when it’s full of crap it doesn’t vacuum efficiently. Same goes with the liver!

When the liver is working optimally it doesn’t support the body’s natural detoxification process. Did you know your symptoms could be attributed to a clogged liver? Did you know the inability to lose weight or have energy like a kid may be a signal your liver needs a good detox? 

I personally don’t believe you need a fancy (and disgusting) colon cleanse or a 7 day juice cleanse to detox the liver. Side note, a colon cleanse can disrupt the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut and may cause more harm than good. There are plenty of natural ways to support the liver so that you can regain your energy, start losing weight, and reduce the nasty belly bloat without paying the price.

6 ways to a natural liver detoxification:

• Consume healthy fats & oils: These provide energy for detoxing. Omega-3s have anti-inflammatory properties.
• Eat liver supporting foods: 
• Apples
• Asparagus
• Berries
• Black pepper
• Fermented foods
• Flax seeds (My favorite flax cracker! Great processed cracker alternative)
• Ginger
• Root vegetables
• Sea vegetables (Try Kelp for a salt alternative) 
• Consumes probiotics & prebiotics: The first line of defense starts in the gut. Healthy gut = healthy liver. Try this probiotic designed for women-> PROBIOTIC or check out my list of gut supporting supplements here-> GUT HEALTH click Click Catalog -> Click Categories -> Click Restore Gut Health
• Eat fiber from whole food sources: Fiber speeds waste removal and supports healthy bacteria 
• Obtain adequate micronutrients: They support the detoxification process and help repair the gut lining. 
• Folate
• Selenium
• Vitamin D
• Zinc 
• Take an activated charcoal. Charcoal binds toxins but check with your doctor first before taking. You can find my favorite band here-> Charcoal  (I never start drinking wine without it, lol!)
