3 Key Takeaways
- The more inflamed your liver gets, the more weight you will gain. This is because you are retaining more water because of a cortisol imbalance, the cortisol imbalance also messes up your insulin resistance and therefore your metabolism slows down.
- When you detoxify your liver, you produce more bile and release more bile into your gut. This means you are releasing more toxins, releasing more cholesterol, and improving digestion. When digestion is improved, you absorb the right nutrients in your body and are therefore more satiated - so you get hungry less often.
- The thyroid is vital for metabolism. 99% of your cells need the thyroid to function well. It helps with energy metabolism.
