The Surprising Link Between Your Liver and Brain Health

 Your brain's wellness isn't just about what's happening above your neck. As a functional medicine specialist working with neurological conditions daily, I've discovered a crucial player in brain health that often goes overlooked: your liver.

 Think of your liver as your body's master filtration system. It's not just processing what you eat and drink – it's actively protecting your brain by:

• Detoxifying harmful substances

• Processing medications

• Regulating blood sugar

• Producing essential proteins

• Managing vitamin storage

 

The key players? Liver enzymes. These microscopic workhorses are essential for:

1. Removing inflammatory compounds

2. Processing medications effectively

3. Supporting hormone balance

4. Maintaining energy levels

 

When liver enzyme function is compromised, I often see patients experience:

• Increased brain fog

• Persistent fatigue

• Slower healing

• Enhanced neurological symptoms

 This is particularly crucial for those with TBI, PTSD, MS, and post-stroke conditions. In fact, I recently worked with a TBI patient whose cognitive function improved dramatically once we optimized their liver health.
