Have you ever had your doctor tell you your liver enzymes are too high — and then… not really know what to do about it?
Maybe they asked if you drink alcohol.
You said no.
And then they just told you to “keep an eye on it.”
No answers. No next steps.
Just… watch and wait.
Or - have you had a doctor freak out on you that your liver enzymes were high, and you walked away super stressed about it, but you didn't feel good about the options they gave you to lower it?
This situation is SUPER common with clients I've had. Clients who looked healthy on the outside (they're labs "looked fine"), but their liver enzymes were high - and doctors didn't have any good recommendations.
That's why, on today's episode, we're covering ALL THING high liver enzymes.
We'll be covering:
- The surprisingly simple explanation behind what liver enzymes elevated means
- Causes of elevated liver enzymes (beyond just too much alcohol)
- Symptoms of high liver enzymes (do you have any of these?)
- The crazy connection between elevated liver enzymes and gut health symptoms like bloating and hormone symptoms like PMS
- What additional testing you can do (beyond your liver enzyme blood test) to find the root cause behind your elevated liver enzymes
- How to actually support your liver so your enzymes - and your body - can come back into balance
If you’ve ever been told your liver enzyme levels are high but you don’t drink, you eat healthy, and your doctor still can’t explain it — then this episode is for you.
