Is Your Liver the Missing Piece of Wellness?


Hi Reader!

This week’s conversation surprised me! We often talk about hormones, gut health, or metabolism — but my guest Lisa Pickart made a strong case that it all comes back to one powerhouse organ: the liver.

🎧 Podcast Spotlight
Lisa, a nutrition and fitness coach, explains why the liver is often called the “seat of life” — and why women especially can’t afford to ignore it. We talked about:

3 Quick Takeaways

  • The silent organ: Your liver has no pain receptors, which means damage often goes unnoticed until it shows up as fatigue, brain fog, or hormonal imbalance.
  • Everything runs through the liver: From makeup to meals, what you put on and in your body must be filtered by this powerhouse.
  • Small habits = big protection: Morning lemon water, fasting rhythms, and focusing on nutrient-dense foods can all support liver health.

✨ Wellness I'm Exploring

Lately I’ve been adding ENERGYbits spirulina and chlorella tablets into my routine. They’re tiny algae “superfoods” that deliver plant-based protein, natural energy, and support detoxification. What I love most? They’re simple, clean, and give me steady energy without the crash. I keep a tin in my car for an easy grab-and-go boost.

Hi Reader A lot of people are losing weight on GLP-1s. Fewer are talking about what they may be losing along with it. In this week's episode, I sat down with author and GLP/peptide expert, Jay Campbell to talk about the growing popularity of GLP-1s, why dosing matters, and what can happen when people focus only on weight loss without paying attention to muscle, protein, hormones, and long-term metabolic health. One of the most interesting parts of this conversation was the idea that these...

Hi Reader Something that stood out to me in my past two episodes is how often we assume the body is failing us, when it may actually be responding exactly the way it was designed to. In one episode, I explored why weight loss can feel so much harder in midlife, especially when stress is high, sleep is disrupted, and hormones are shifting. In the other, I sat down with Caleb Granger to talk about stem cells, exosomes, and the growing interest in regenerative medicine. On the surface, those...

Hi Reader This week on the podcast we talked about two health topics every woman should understand sooner rather than later: • Why bone loss often starts earlier than we think • Why the air we breathe may impact our health more than we realize Both conversations pointed to the same truth: Real health isn’t built on quick fixes. It’s built on foundations. From the Podcast In my conversation with Dr. John Neustadt, we talked about a health issue that impacts millions of women but often isn’t...
