How to Improve Liver Function (in 5 Steps)
Start hereStraight answers.
Do I need a detox?
Your liver does it daily. What helps is cutting exposures and supporting the pathways — not a juice cleanse.
Should I test for heavy metals?
If exposure is plausible (old homes, certain work, fish-heavy diets) or symptoms fit; blood first, then a clinician for interpretation.
Are microplastics a real concern?
Real exposure, early evidence on harm; the swaps are cheap and worth doing.
