Your liver is working every minute to filter toxins, balance hormones, metabolize fats, and support over 500 functions in your body. But here's what most people get wrong: your liver doesn't need a "cleanse" or punishing detox. What it needs is ongoing support through the right herbs at the right time.

In this episode, you'll discover how to think like an herbalist when choosing liver-supporting herbs. Learn why bitter herbs stimulate digestion, how cholagogues and choleretics improve bile flow, and which hepatic herbs protect and regenerate liver cells.

Whether you're dealing with skin issues, digestive struggles, hormonal imbalances, or simply want to support your hardest-working organ, this episode gives you the practical herbal wisdom to nourish your liver.

What you'll learn

• Why the liver works 24/7 and why "cleansing" language misses the point
• The liver's role in fat metabolism, hormones, bile, and blood sugar
• How bitter taste receptors kickstart digestion and bile flow
• The difference between cholagogues vs choleretics
• Key herbal actions for liver support: hepatoprotective and trophorestorative herbs
