Lesson 26: Stress and the Liver

Lesson 26: Stress and the Liver

Stress isn’t just mental—it’s a physical toxin that can overload your liver and block your body’s ability to heal. Whether it’s work stress, emotional baggage, or even poor diet and environmental toxins, stress puts strain on your entire system, impacting digestion, immunity, and energy levels.

Research shows that a million workers are absent daily due to stress-related issues. But not all stress is harmful.

By supporting your liver through cleansing, emotional work, and stress management techniques, you open up the pathways for healing, balance, and emotional release. Many people experience profound emotional shifts, including a greater sense of peace, forgiveness, and clarity, after a liver detox.
