Liver detoxes are a $10 billion industry. The liver is also the most regenerative organ in the body, running its own continuous cleanse without your help. In this episode of The Commune Podcast, Jeff Krasno walks through what's actually known about liver health, from juice cleanses to gallbladder flushes to the supplements lining every wellness aisle. How the liver actually metabolizes and clears toxins Why the green "stones" in popular flushes are just solidified olive oil Fatty liver disease, fructose, and the irony of fruit-heavy cleanses The evidence for coffee, cruciferous vegetables, exercise, and fiber Which supplements have real research: milk thistle, berberine, NAC, sulforaphane This episode is for anyone considering a cleanse who wants to know what works, what doesn't, and what's worth their money.
