I loathe the phrase “liver detox” because it’s so misunderstood by most people.
If you’re liver is struggling, it doesn’t need to be detoxed!
Got eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, dandruff and other skin issues?
Your liver MUST be on your radar, but not the way the internet gurus talk about it.
In this episode, I’m going to share with you how your liver actually detoxes on its own and what you need to do to support it. That way you can avoid those horrible “die off” symptoms that are so common when doing different detoxes you can do on your own.
I’ve worked with too many clients who have terrible flares as a result of not keeping an eye on supporting their liver, and ended up with even worse rashes than before they started.
In this episode:
- Stop listening to people who say your liver is like a filter or a sponge
- What “die off” symptoms actually mean
- Why detoxing your liver is unnecessary (and what to do instead)
- What liver support I recommend from clinical experience
- How to easily understand what your liver actually does
Quotes:
Anyone telling you that you just need to detox your liver doesn’t truly understand how your liver works, why it plays a role in helping rebuild healthy skin, and what it really needs in order to operate optimally. They claim that your liver acts like a sponge. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your liver isn’t a sponge. It’s not like a fish filter either. (0:25)
When Phase 1 detox is pushed too hard OR if Phase 2 doesn’t have enough ingredients (like glycine, glutathione, and magnesium) to move things through, a backup of toxic material will occur. When this happens, you can experience “die off” (also known as the Herxheimer Reaction), symptoms like rashes and even an exacerbation of symptoms. (12:45)
