• The Liver-Fat Loss Connection No One Talks About | MMP Ep. 205

  You’re doing “everything right”... but the fat won’t budge. You’ve dialed in your workouts. You’ve cleaned up your food. You’re even trying to manage your stress.So why do you still feel stuck, bloated, and inflamed?👉 It might be your liver.In this powerful roundtable episode, I’m joined by three of our expert coaches to break down why liver health is one of the most overlooked—but essential—pieces of the fat loss puzzle.We talk about:💥 The role your liver plays in hormone metabolism, detoxification & fat-burning🥴 Signs your liver might be overloaded (spoiler: it’s not just fatigue or skin issues)🧬 How estrogen dominance, cortisol, and liver sluggishness are all connected🥦 The exact foods and nutrients your liver needs to do its job❌ Why trendy detoxes and juice cleanses can actually backfire✅ The sustainable habits that support liver function AND accelerate resultsThis is one of those “lightbulb” episodes that will change how you look at fat loss forever.Because if your liver is sluggish, your fat-burning pathways are blocked—and no amount of calorie-cutting or cardio will override that.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) - Intro(00:49) - Overview of the Liver & Fat Loss(03:05) - Why your Liver is so important for Health & Fat Loss(12:33) - How detoxification works(18:33) - How your liver affects fat loss(20:55) - What conditions & environments negatively affect the liver?(38:47) - Methylation & detox (44:50) - The best ways to support your liver(58:10) - Final thoughts + remindersCONNECT WITH ME ONLINE:‣ Fill out our Complimentary Health Assessment to receive customized guidelines for:- how much you should eat🍴- what you should eat 🌮- exercise adjustments🏋🏽‍♀️- lifestyle recommendations🚶‍♀️- specific resources to support you on your journey📕https://forms.gle/4LMFxT7Jk23Yphq46‣ Check out our BRAND NEW workout subscription:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.trainerize.me/profile/vitalityoet/?planGUID=b020a7cf27f6453b9d29ca3dc9bbaf37&mode=checkout⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠‣ Join our community!
