Why Your Liver Needs More Love…
When it comes to weight loss, boosting energy, and feeling great, there’s one often underappreciated organ that quietly works behind the scenes , and that’s your liver.
This powerhouse performs over 500 vital functions, including hormone metabolism, fat processing, blood sugar regulation, and detoxification. Yet, in today’s world of chronic stress, processed food, alcohol, and environmental toxins, it’s easy for your liver to become overworked. When that happens, your energy, metabolism, and mood can all take a hit — making it harder to reach your body goals, no matter how “healthy” you’re trying to be.
How Your Liver Impacts Weight and Energy
Your liver decides whether fats are burned for fuel or stored, and it helps to balance blood sugar and hormones.
When your liver is struggling, you might notice signs like:
Weight gain or fat storage around your middle
Low energy and sluggishness
Hormonal symptoms such as PMS or bloating
Skin breakouts or dullness
Brain fog or poor focus
A sluggish liver can also make it harder to metabolise oestrogen, leading to hormonal imbalances that can affect weight and mood, particularly for women over 35.
So, if you’ve been feeling stuck despite your best efforts, your liver might be asking for some TLC.
Simple Ways to Show Your Liver Some Love
You don’t need a harsh detox — your liver simply needs consistent, gentle support. Here’s how to do it:
Cut back on alcohol – Even a few drinks a week can keep your liver busy detoxifying, leaving less capacity for fat and hormone metabolism.
Eat the rainbow – Colourful fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants that protect liver cells and support repair.
Support detox pathways – Include sulphur-rich foods like broccoli, cabbage, garlic, and onions to aid natural detoxification.
Balance blood sugar – Pair carbohydrates with protein and healthy fats (like avocado or olive oil) to prevent fat build-up in the liver.
Stay hydrated – Water and herbal teas such as dandelion root, milk thistle, or lemon balm support bile flow and toxin removal.
Add some superfood magic – Adding some green powders like chlorella, spirulina, wheat or barley grass to smoothies or soups can help give your liver some detoxification support. Turmeric is another helpful ingredient that can protect your liver.
Move daily – Even light exercise boosts circulation and helps your liver process and eliminate waste more efficiently.
The Bottom Line
Your liver works tirelessly for you every day — filtering, balancing, and energising behind the scenes. Supporting it isn’t about a short-term cleanse; it’s about small daily choices that help your body work as it’s meant to.
If your energy feels low or your weight won’t budge despite your efforts, it might be time to give your liver some love.
