Your liver does more than help you survive margarita night—it’s the ultimate hormone traffic controller. From clearing out extra estrogen to converting thyroid hormones and even sweeping away excess cortisol, your liver keeps hormone chaos from piling up.

But when it gets sluggish? That’s when the real drama begins. Think heavy, painful periods, stubborn belly fat, 2 a.m. wakeups, PMS meltdowns, and even that one glass of wine hitting you like a freight train. Yep—your liver might be whispering “help me out here!”

In this week’s episode of Hump Day Hormones, we’re diving into:

✨ Why estrogen metabolism matters more than you think

✨ How a “congested” liver backs up hormones and fuels perimenopause mayhem

✨ The clinical signs your liver is waving a white flag (hello bloating, fatigue, and mood swings)

✨ What slows down liver detox—like stress, sugar, alcohol, and everyday toxins

✨ The two-step process of hormone detox (Phase 1 & Phase 2) and how food + lifestyle make all the difference

✨ Practical, science-backed ways to support your liver so your hormones stay balanced and your body feels like yours again

Think of it as a crash course in why your liver is the unsung hero of hormone balance—and why kale, beets, fiber, and maybe skipping that extra glass of rosé might just change your life.
