How to support your body’s detox pathways

🧠 Your liver, gut, and kidneys work together as your body’s built-in detox system. But they need support to function at their best. Toxins from food, air, and everyday products can overload these systems, leading to hormone imbalances, fatigue, and digestive issues.

🧪 The liver is a key player in detoxification, breaking down toxins and processing hormones. The gut, on the other hand, is responsible for eliminating waste and supporting the microbiome, which plays a role in regulating inflammation and metabolism. If your gut or liver is struggling, you might experience skin breakouts, bloating, and sluggishness.

🌿 Supporting both detox pathways is crucial. Eating nutrient-dense foods like leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables (think broccoli, kale), and fiber-rich foods can help the liver process toxins. Prebiotics (like onions, garlic, and asparagus) nourish beneficial gut bacteria, while probiotics (found in fermented foods like kimchi and yogurt) help keep the gut’s balance intact.

🔧 Tip: Support your detox pathways by incorporating more fiber and cruciferous veggies into your meals, drinking plenty of water, and reducing processed food consumption. And don’t forget to keep an eye on food labels for hidden ingredients that may be hindering your health.
