Why are you gaining belly fat even while lifting and eating well? Could your sluggish metabolism be a liver problem in disguise?

I sit down with certified supplement expert Sara Banta to reveal how your liver and thyroid work together to control metabolism, muscle retention, and fat loss and why ignoring liver health might be what’s sabotaging your fitness progress. We unpack how stress, sleep, hormones, and toxins overload your body’s ability to function efficiently, even if you’re doing everything “right.” 

If you're consistent with training and nutrition but still stuck, this might be the missing piece.

Today, you’ll learn all about:

3:12 – Sara’s health crisis and muscle loss
9:36 – Iodine’s surprising benefits
12:36 – Liver's role in fat storage
17:56 – The real hierarchy of healing
24:29 – What to eliminate—and when
28:15 – Movement and metabolic communication
33:30 – Alcohol, toxins, and your thyroid
36:08 – Final truth: Why proactive health matters
