Steps to Address Liver congestion & fat digestion issues
Supporting liver function and bile flow through targeted dietary and lifestyle strategies can significantly improve symptoms of bloating, fatigue, dry skin and nausea associated with impaired fat metabolism. We recommend starting to implement these 5 steps to support optimising your ability to metabolise fats!
1. Prioritise Eating “Targeted” Nutrient-Dense foods
- Include meat stock (to heal the gut lining & support digestion),
- Eat Liver-Supporting foods: Include beetroot, artichokes, lemons, grapefuit, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage) onions, garlic and bitter greens (rocket, radicchio, endives, bitter greens) to enhance liver detoxification
- Eggs: provide essential nutrients, including choline, which supports liver function and bile production
- Organ Meats: Nutrient-dense organ meats like liver supply vital vitamins and minerals that support detox pathways
2. Support Bile Flow
- Ensure Stomach acid is sufficient - consume lemon water first thing in the morning. Consume Apple Cider Vinegar diluted in water before each meal.
- Include healthy fats alongside meals (as tolerated) like ghee, butter, lard, tallow, olive oil and coconut oil, to stimulate bile production. Avoid processed seed oils.
- Drink beet kvass or fresh pressed vegetable juices or GAPS Shakes including beet to support bile thinning.
- Drink bitter herbal teas to stimulate bile production and flow: Dandelion tea
3. Reduce Toxic Burden
- Avoid seed oils, processed foods, refined sugar, alcohol, and excessive caffeine.
- Choose organic food
- Swap to low-tox personal care & cleaning products to reduce the toxic load on your liver. These can tax the liver and impair its ability to efficiently process fats.
4. Incorporate Gentle Detox Strategies into your day-day life
- Saunas, dry brushing, coffee enemas, and castor oil packs all aid toxin elimination. Find what suits you.
- Detox baths with Epsom salt baths for magnesium and sulphur support.
5. Address other factors (best with a practitioner)
- Consider Advanced Digestive Enzymes or Ox Bile supplementation to further support bile flow as recommended.
- Consider Liver clearing and supportive herbs like Chanca Piedra and Milk Thistle as recommended to clear the liver and support optimal bile flow.
- Consider the Ghee flush protocol.

Feeling like you eat “so healthy” but still have low energy, brain fog, or nutrient deficiencies.

Missing out on social events or meals because you’re scared of the food reactions.

Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety linked to gut issues (even when you’re trying to be your best self).
