What if the reason you’re feeling foggy, inflamed, or hormonally off is sitting right in your liver?

In today’s episode, I sit down with liver health expert Siggi Clavien to explore why this master organ holds the key to so much more than detoxification. We talk about why liver disease is skyrocketing (even in people who don’t drink), how toxins, stress, and even unprocessed emotions impact liver function, and why caring for your liver is foundational for hormone health, gut health, metabolism, and longevity.

You’ll learn the subtle signs your liver might need support, what tests actually give you the full picture, and simple ways to love your liver every day.

Siggi Clavien is the founder of Love Your Liver and an expert in root-cause liver healing. He blends Eastern medicine, functional nutrition, and cutting-edge diagnostics to help people restore optimal health from the inside out.

I Also Discuss:

14:12 – The hormone imbalance nobody’s connecting to your liver
24:29 – Why liver disease is exploding in “healthy” people
31:52 – The liver test your doctor probably isn’t telling you about
40:29 – Brain fog, sleep issues, weight gain? It could be your liver
43:52 – How a sluggish liver stalls hormone detox
54:30 – Can stress and trauma really damage your liver?
1:26:51 – Why most mold detoxes fail (and what actually works)

Today’s solo episode is about something we’re all experiencing, whether we realize it or not: stress. But not just stress in the casual sense, the deep, physiological stress that imprints on your body, your mind, and your long-term health.

And if you’ve ever found yourself wondering: “Why does this stress seem to hit me harder than it should?”, then this episode is for you!

What if your fatigue, inflammation, or brain fog isn’t a sign your body is broken—but a signal you’ve been disconnected from nature for too long?

In this episode, Dr. Zach Bush joins me to explore how our health crisis begins with the soil beneath our feet.

What if the anxiety, fatigue, and reactivity you’re feeling… isn’t in your head, but wired into your biology?
In this groundbreaking episode, I sit down with Dave Asprey—biohacking pioneer, four-time New York Times bestselling author, and founder of Bulletproof Coffee—to explore how your mitochondria, brainwaves, and unprocessed emotions shape everything from your stress response to your intuition and longevity.

If you’re doing all the things but still feel stuck or burned out, this conversation will change how you see healing.

You’re eating clean, doing the cold plunges, taking the adaptogens… but still waking up exhausted, wired, inflamed, or just off?
It’s time to talk about the one healing practice that costs nothing—but changes everything: sleep.
In this solo episode of Rooted in Wellness, I’m guiding you back to your body’s most powerful reset tool. We’ll explore why deep, consistent sleep is foundational for hormone balance, detox, metabolism, emotional regulation, and even gut repair. You’ll learn the hidden ways modern life disrupts your circadian rhythm—and the rituals, tools, and energetics I personally use and teach to bring your nervous system back into alignment.
If you’ve been overriding your need for rest in the name of productivity or “doing more,” this is your permission slip to pause, restore, and reconnect.
Because your body knows how to heal—when you finally let it rest.

03:19 – Why You Can’t Heal Without Deep Sleep

What if the brain fog, sugar cravings, and stubborn fatigue you’re feeling… starts in your gut?
In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe—Stanford PhD scientist and co-founder of Pendulum Therapeutics—to unpack the real reasons so many of us struggle with metabolic health, mood imbalances, and digestion.

What if the anxiety you feel, the mood swings you hide, or the “off” feeling you can’t shake… aren’t just yours to carry but part of a story that started long before you?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Karena Dawn to talk about healing from trauma, rewriting the stories we inherited, and finding peace in the chaos. We explore how movement becomes medicine, how therapy and EMDR help process pain held in the body, and why community and vulnerability are essential to lasting transformation.
Karena opens up about her mother’s mental illness, generational trauma, and the moment she chose to live differently—and how that one choice led her to a life of purpose, service, and self-love.
If you’ve been holding it all in, this episode reminds you: your story matters, your healing is possible, and you're never too far gone to begin again.
​​Karena Dawn is a wellness entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of The Big Silence, a nonprofit dedicated to ending the stigma around mental health.

When your wellness routine starts to feel like another item on your to-do list, when fasting, cold plunges, and supplement stacks feel more depleting than nourishing…it might be time to reassess what “healing” really means.
In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Krasno, founder of Commune and author of Good Stress, to reframe how we think about stress, balance, and true vitality. We explore how chronic stress impacts your biology, why “healthy” habits sometimes backfire, and how practices like breathwork, stillness, and even discomfort can reconnect you to your body and build lasting resilience.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing it all and still feeling off, this conversation is a grounding reminder that healing isn’t about intensity, it’s about alignment.

Jeff Krasno is the co-founder and CEO of Commune, a wellness platform, he is also the author of Good Stress: The Health Benefits of Doing Hard Things, in which he shares protocols he used to reverse his diabetes and improve his health at age 50.

“Everything looks normal”… but you still feel exhausted, anxious, inflamed, and out of sync with your body. Sound familiar? The truth is, most women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s aren’t getting real answers when they start experiencing the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause. Instead, they’re told their symptoms are “just stress” or handed a prescription that masks the issue—without addressing the root cause.

In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I’m joined by women’s hormone expert Dr. Mariza Snyder for a science-backed conversation about what’s really going on beneath the surface. We break down the connection between hormone decline, nervous system dysregulation, brain health, metabolic shifts, and chronic inflammation—plus why so many of the conventional protocols (like extreme fasting, overtraining, or testosterone pellets) can make things worse, not better.

Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, women’s hormone expert, and bestselling author of The Essential Oils Hormone Solution and The Menopause Relief Protocol. She’s the host of the Energized with Dr. Mariza podcast.
If you’ve been doing all the “right” things and still feel like your body is stuck in survival mode, this episode is for you!

What if that “mystery rash,” those fine lines, or the sudden hair shedding weren’t just cosmetic concerns… but biological clues your body is trying to send you?
In this episode, we unpack the science your dermatologist wishes you knew. From hyperpigmentation and hormonal acne to the myths behind “clean beauty” and the truth about castor oil, we explore how your skin often reveals what’s happening beneath the surface, whether it’s inflammation, stress, or hormonal shifts.
Joining me is the incredible Dr. Andrea Suarez, better known as Dr. Dray—a board-certified dermatologist and YouTube educator who has built one of the most trusted platforms for evidence-based skincare. In this conversation, she shares what most people (and brands) get wrong about skincare routines, how to age with grace (and science), and why keeping things simple is often the most effective strategy.
If you're ready to stop guessing and start understanding your skin, this one’s for you.
