Why Your Liver is the Real Main Character

In this episode, we’re giving your liver the spotlight it deserves. Often overlooked, this powerhouse organ performs over 500 functions in the body — from filtering toxins and balancing hormones to supporting digestion, immunity, and even your mood. When your liver is out of balance, you feel it everywhere — in your energy, sleep, skin, emotions, and hormones.

We dive into:


✨ The key signs your liver might need extra love — like fatigue, mood swings, acne, or PMS


🌿 How Ayurveda views liver health through the lens of digestion and balance


🧘‍♀️ Simple daily rituals to reduce stress, regulate your digestive fire, and bring your liver back into harmony


🥬 Why greens, bitter foods, and mindful routines are your liver’s best friends


☀️ The importance of routines, self-care, and honoring your body’s natural rhythms

If you’ve been feeling sluggish, moody, or just off, this episode will help you reconnect with one of your body’s most vital organs — and learn how to support it naturally through food, lifestyle, and Ayurvedic wisdom.
