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.

Hi Reader Lately, I’ve been thinking about the little “scripts” we carry in our heads. You know the ones: I’m not good at this, I’ll probably fail, That’s just who I am. Most of us picked up these beliefs long ago, and they quietly shape how we live today. I caught myself in one of those patterns this week, and it reminded me of something important: just because a thought shows up doesn’t mean it’s true. That’s why I loved my conversation with Shelly Lefkoe, co-founder of The Lefkoe...
