34: Your Liver After Cancer: What It Really Needs


Listen Later

After cancer treatment, many women are left with the sense that something in their body still feels off. Energy may be lower than expected, hormones feel unpredictable, digestion changes, and there’s often a lingering feeling of sluggishness or inflammation. It’s no surprise that many start wondering if they need a detox.


In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, I explain how the liver actually supports recovery after cancer and why trendy detoxes often miss the real physiology. We talk about how the liver processes medications and estrogen, environmental contaminants, regulates inflammation and metabolic signals, and to better support it than doing a restrictive cleanse. I also cover how nutrition, testing, and targeted supplements can support these systems so the body can rebuild metabolic resilience after treatment.
