If your metabolism feels stuck… If hormones feel chaotic… If digestion, energy, or weight loss feel harder than they should… Your liver is likely part of the story. In this episode, Ellie dives into the liver — an organ that quietly performs hundreds of vital functions every single day, yet is often overlooked until symptoms appear. We break down what the liver actually does, why it plays such a critical role in metabolism, digestion, hormone balance, and detoxification, and how modern life has placed an unprecedented load on this powerful system. You’ll learn: Why the liver is the metabolic “air traffic cont...
