Struggling with weight gain, brain fog, or waking up at 3am? Your liver might be the missing piece of your perimenopause puzzle.
In this episode, Gloria Halim breaks down why your liver is the unsung hero of hormone balance during perimenopause.
When your liver can't efficiently process and eliminate hormones, you end up with symptoms like oestrogen dominance, stubborn belly weight, mood swings, and exhaustion that just won't quit.
She shares exactly which foods support liver detoxification, why food-first nutrition matters before supplements, and natural protocols like castor oil packs that she teaches in her "Glow with Grace" program.
Plus, connecting the dots between liver health and adrenal fatigue – because these two systems work together as a team.
