Dr. Rodger Murphree—board-certified nutritional specialist and functional medicine practitioner—breaks down why liver health is a make-or-break “control center” for whole-body recovery. He explains how a sluggish or fatty liver can show up as fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, weight gain, and chemical sensitivity, because the liver has to process what you eat, drink, breathe, and absorb through your skin. He also connects liver function to hormones and metabolism, including why poor liver performance can blunt thyroid activation (T4 to T3) and disrupt how the body handles cholesterol and estrogen balance. From there, he zooms in on the gallbladder and bile flow. He explains what bile does (digesting fats and supporting nutrient absorption), how gallbladder trouble can show up in stool changes (including “floaters”), and what gallstones are and why they can trigger sharp right-side abdominal pain, nausea, fever, and jaundice. He then lays out a practical approach focused on food and supplement supports he commonly uses—like milk thistle, turmeric/curcumin, dandelion, artichoke, and digestive aids such as enzymes or ox bile (especially for people without a gallbladder). He closes with the core drivers of fatty liver he emphasizes—excess body weight and high-fructose intake (especially from processed foods and sweet drinks)—and a simple, repeatable plan built around cutting fructose load, rebuilding antioxidant capacity (glutathione support using NAC and diet), and improving daily “throughput” via movement, sweating, and consistent sleep. This training is educational and encourages working with a qualified healthcare professional before starting supplements, changing prescriptions, or acting on symptoms that could require urgent care.
