This is a relationship to encourage, and one that has great impact on our health.
One of the liver’s many roles is to help regulate the balance of sex hormones, thyroid hormones, cortisone and other adrenal hormones, and transform or remove any excess hormones from the body.
Like all organs, our liver health can be impacted by a range of factors. Drinking too much, certain medications or dis-eases, infections, accumulation of fat in the liver and genetic factors, stress and EMOTIONS!
If our liver is not functioning optimally, or if we have a liver condition, then it may not be able to properly remove hormones at its normal rate. This means they can be poorly metabolised and can get reabsorbed in the body, leading to a hormonal imbalance (too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream).
Hormonal imbalances can be associated with unexplained weight gain or weight loss, anxiety, infertility, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, excessive sweating, sensitivity to temperatures, vision impairment, dry skin or rashes, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, bloating, reduced libido.
Having a healthy liver makes for optimal hormonal health.
