Just because the new year hasn’t arrived yet doesn’t mean you need to wait until January 1st to start making changes. In today’s solo, Samantha talks all about the cornerstone of our hormonal, thyroid and overall health: the liver. Your liver is your main detoxification organ and it works for you, around the clock, day in and day out. In order to best support this process, you need to know how it works, what effects it and what it needs to function optimally. This episode is the framework you need to help you–and your liver–give your body the kind of love and attention it deserves.

• The functions of the liver and why detoxification is so important
• Samantha’s current relationship with alcohol
• Things in your diet and environment that may be affecting your liver

• “I will have a drink here and there, but I’m conscious of how much I have, and when I drink, because I know, when I wake up the next day, I have puffy eyes and feel so sluggish and gross. It just doesn’t serve me well.”

• “The body is an environment that is hot, oxygen rich and is exposed regularly to light, or the sun. So consuming fats that are stable in this type of environment is important because it’s similar to how our body would utilize these fats—saturated fat acids like butter, egg yolks, tallow, high-quality cheeses and even coconut oil.”

• “Something like desiccated liver supplements, or a multi-organ supplement, can serve as your multivitamin. It provides you with so much nutrition. I’ve had so many women who have felt a significant difference in their energy levels after taking them for just one week.”

• “When we think about our health, well-being and hormones, we often get so hyper-focused on things like exercise and nutrition that we forget about the importance of things like joy, adventure, love and sunshine. It’s so beyond the food on your plate.”
