Short Description
The liver plays a central role in digestion, metabolism, hormone balance, circulation, and the body’s ability to process internal and external stressors. In this two-part recorded series, you’ll explore the liver through a holistic, systems-based lens, gaining a deeper understanding of why liver function is so closely tied to long-term health and resilience.
You’ll learn how the liver supports digestion through bile flow, regulates blood sugar and fats, manages hormones, and responds to modern lifestyle pressures such as diet, stress, and environmental exposure. The series explains how congestion, inflammation, and metabolic overload can develop gradually, often long before obvious symptoms appear.
Across both sessions, traditional dietary principles, herbal categories, and lifestyle strategies are introduced to help you understand how liver support is approached thoughtfully and progressively. Rather than focusing on short-term cleansing, the emphasis is on restoring flow, reducing burden, and supporting the liver’s many interconnected roles over time.
This class is well suited for students, practitioners, and individuals seeking a clear, integrated framework for understanding liver health as a foundation of whole-body balance.

The liver is one of the most metabolically active and influential organs in the body, coordinating digestion, circulation, hormone processing, inflammation regulation, and energy balance. In this two-part recorded series, you’ll explore how holistic health traditions understand the liver as a central hub of systemic function—and why many long-standing health patterns trace back to liver overload or stagnation.
Part One lays the foundation by examining liver anatomy, blood flow, and its role in the digestive continuum. You’ll learn how bile supports fat digestion, elimination, and hormone clearance, and why impaired bile flow can affect digestion, skin, mood, and circulation. Traditional perspectives on bitter taste, liver-supportive foods, and herbal categories are introduced to illustrate how flow and function are supported across cultures.
Part Two builds on this framework by exploring modern pressures on the liver, including dietary stressors, sugar metabolism, hormonal load, inflammation, and environmental exposure. You’ll gain insight into how functional patterns of imbalance develop over time and why laboratory markers do not always reflect early or ongoing stress. The course also explores how liver patterns influence related systems such as the gallbladder, skin, eyes, nervous system, and cardiovascular function.
Throughout both sessions, the emphasis remains on understanding patterns rather than memorizing protocols. Traditional herbal and food-based approaches are presented as supportive tools within a broader lifestyle context, highlighting why pacing, preparation, and long-term consistency matter more than aggressive intervention.
Together, the series offers a comprehensive, systems-level perspective on liver health—helping you understand how restoring balance at the liver can support resilience, clarity, and overall wellbeing.
