A Healthier Life

THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR LIVER

Is it time to give your liver some love?

Your liver is one of the hardest-working organs in the body. It is associated with over 500 vital bodily functions, winning the award as the body’s ultimate multitasker!

 

Your liver is a detoxification powerhouse and acts as a filter, removing toxins from your blood to be excreted through the digestive system. It also…

 

  • Produces bile, a fluid essential for digestion and keeping bad bugs at bay

  • Stores and releases glucose when your body needs quick energy

  • It helps maintain blood sugar levels

  • Metabolizes nutrients, vitamins, and minerals

  • And 100s of other things

 

The liver does a LOT of things, and it’s important we support it so it can do all its jobs optimally and improve the overall health and functioning of every cell and organ in the body!

 

Here’s the problem. 

 

Your liver is powerful, but it’s constantly under an enormous amount of stress, and without living a detoxing lifestyle, you’re adding more and more stress to it every single day.

 

Our modern world is FULL of toxins; our body is full of things CREATING toxins, and the more toxins your liver has to process, the more stress it’s under.

 

Your goal is to reduce the toxic burden on your body on a daily basis by lessening the toxins you’re exposed to AND by lessening the toxins already in your body.  

 

When toxins constantly bombard your liver, and you can’t remove them as fast as they are added, it starts to back up.  When that happens, it pushes those toxins back into your bloodstream, which are then deposited throughout your body, causing cell damage, stealing energy, and causing a whole host of symptoms. 

 

This is the LAST thing we want!

 

Supporting your liver several times a year with a Functional Medicine Detox is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health.
