Liver health is a big focus in the holistic health world.  Yet, I am seeing more and more that "healthy people" who eat "whole foods" are suffering from issues such as Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Diabetes, Thyroid Issues etc. I am also seeing that a lot of people are doing liver detoxes to boost their immunity for the current health issue of our time and that these programs involve cutting out food groups and/or significant supplementation.  So why is this and does it even work? Do we even need to detoxify our livers? Is detoxifying the liver really the answer to strong immunity? Why are seemingly healthy people having liver issues? Well, I invited Jay Feldman on the show to talk about exactly what the liver is, what its function is and what it needs to operate at its highest capacity Jay is a health coach and an Independent researcher who set out to study medicine at university so that he might become a doctor, but after seeing the modern medical perspective - a this for that approach to fight against our bodies - he moved into studying energetics and physiology so that he could teach people to harness their energy and work with their bodies. You can catch a more in-depth look at the liver on his podcast, The Energy Balance Podcast, where he has a six part series on the liver if you're hungering for more after this episode and if you head over to Jay's blog at www.jayfeldmanwellness.com , you will see just how meticulous he is in his research and writings.   In this episode we talk about: The liver as a filter Detoxing the liver The gut and the liver Fructose malabsorption and intolerance Carbs and giving up sugar for liver health Fasting for liver detoxification Animal Protein and the liver Fats and the liver Endotoxin PUFA Alcohol Oestrogen Iron Metformin Statins Birth Control Pills   I hope this episode dispels a lot of myths and confusion and helps you remember that The Body Never Lies.
