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.

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.

  • 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.

And if you're over 40, you need more of it than you might think. New research from NIH and Nature shows that women in midlife need about 0.54 grams of protein per pound...

The Women's Wellness WireScience-backed women's health, minus the hype — with Natalie Tysdal Most women don't think about their bones. We think about hormones. Weight. Energy. Sleep. Skin. But bones? They quietly hold us up while estrogen shifts, muscle mass declines, and life moves forward, until one day, they don't. By the time many women reach their 50s, bone loss has already been happening for years. Peak bone density occurs in our 20s; after that, we gradually lose bone. The real...

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.
