Is Your Liver Slowing You Down? 7 Signs You Need More Support

Your liver does over 500 jobs—from balancing hormones to filtering toxins, digesting fats, and even converting thyroid hormones. In today’s world, it’s working harder than ever. If it’s overwhelmed, you’ll start to feel it in ways you might not expect.

Here are 7 common signs your liver needs extra love:

1. Skin Breakouts or Irritation​
Acne, rashes, eczema, and itchy skin can be a reflection of liver overload. When your liver struggles to process toxins, your skin often picks up the slack.

2. Hormonal Imbalances​
If you’ve been told you have estrogen dominance or low hormone levels, your liver may be struggling to clear excess hormones. It also produces bile, which helps remove these hormones from the body.

3. Constipation​
A healthy liver produces about a quart of bile a day—key for moving toxins out through your bowels. Without enough bile, constipation and toxin buildup can follow.

4. Weight Loss or Gain Resistance​
A sluggish liver can make it hard to lose (or sometimes gain) weight. Toxins and excess hormones often get stored in fat until your body feels strong enough to eliminate them.

5. Poor Sleep​
Your liver works hardest between 2–4am. Waking at this time—or dealing with night sweats, anxiety before bed, restless sleep, or waking with intense hunger—can be a sign it’s overburdened.

6. Chronic Health Issues​
Whether it’s hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia, autoimmunity, or another chronic condition—supporting the liver is essential for long-term healing.

7. Thyroid Problems​
Your liver converts inactive thyroid hormone (T4) into the active form (T3). If it’s sluggish, that conversion can slow, leading to fatigue, weight changes, and brain fog.

How to Support Your Liver (Without Harsh Cleanses)​
I don’t recommend extreme detoxes—they often stress the liver even more. Instead, focus on nourishing it with:

  • Protein (Especially Collagen & Gelatin) – Protein is the liver’s building block. I recommend grass-fed collagen or bovine gelatin (like Perfect Collagen Powder or Perfect Bovine Gelatin). Use code HEALTHWEALTH for 10% off—stackable with their bulk discounts.

  • Beef Liver (it's Nature’s Multivitamin) – If you can’t handle eating liver, Perfect Desiccated Liver Capsules are an excellent option—grass-fed, glyphosate-free. Use code HEALTHWEALTH for 10% off—stackable with their bulk discounts.

  • Nutrient-Dense Protein Powders – My top choice: The Fittest Nose-to-Tail Protein (code KARRI10 for 10% off) or Equip Prime Protein’s Grass-Fed Beef Powder (code HEALTHWEALTH for 15% off). *Until Friday, August 22, Equip sitewide sale: BOGO 40% with my code HEALTHWEALTH - just add the second item and it will discount at checkout.
