Liver Flush Myths & Truths & Detox Do’s & Dont’s | Dr. Joshua Levitt

from The Art of Being Well

Dr. Joshua Levitt, naturopathic physician and co-founder of UpWellness, joins Dr. Will Cole to set the record straight on one of the body's most powerful - and most misunderstood - organs: the liver. They break down what the liver actually does beyond filtering, why liver enzyme levels on standard bloodwork are often missed as early warning signs, and what genuine liver support looks like versus the "flush" myths circulating online. Dr. Levitt also explains the fascinating connection between liver health and mental health, and shares the specific compounds - from milk thistle to NAC to taurine - that actually move the needle on liver function. Plus, a conversation on alcohol, coffee, digestive bitters, and how the standard American diet is turning us all into force-fed geese.
