What if the strongest liver detox isn’t a cleanse, but a calendar of small, repeatable choices? We sat down with Liz to unpack coffee enemas, traditional liver and gallbladder flushes, and the everyday habits that actually move the needle on metabolic health. The big reveal: early-stage fatty liver is reversible, and you don’t need a risky protocol to start turning things around.
We dive into the difference between glucose and fructose, how frequent snacking keeps insulin elevated, and why insulin resistance sits at the heart of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Liz breaks down the evidence and the hype around coffee enemas, including claims about glutathione activity, and explains why exercise, sleep, sauna, and cruciferous vegetables are a smarter way to support antioxidant defenses. You’ll learn gentle options that encourage bile flow—like warm water with lemon or apple cider vinegar—and how malic acid from apples can soften the terrain without the drama of a flush.
From a practical toolkit to a broader mindset, we explore high-quality protein for cysteine, glycine, and glutamate, choosing better oils, and building fasting windows that restore insulin sensitivity. We also bring in the Traditional Chinese Medicine view of the liver as a system for blood and qi, connecting green foods, sour and bitter flavors, and emotional hygiene to better liver function and deeper sleep. No scare tactics, no silver bullets—just a clear path away from sugar shocks, artificial sweeteners, and ultra-processed traps, toward sustainable habits that your liver will thank you for.
