Feeling sluggish? Here’s how to reset naturally!
Hello Reader,
Spring is a time of renewal—not just for your home, but for your body too. If you’re feeling sluggish, bloated, or just “off,” it could be your liver asking for a little extra support.
Your liver is responsible for processing everything from hormones to toxins, and when it’s overloaded, you might notice: ⚡️ Fatigue & brain fog 😩 PMS & bloating 🚩 Stubborn acne & hormonal imbalances
In this article, I talk about the link between liver health and hormonal acne and I give you tips on how to support your detox pathways to achieve clear skin.
The good news? You don’t need a juice cleanse or a harsh detox. Your body already knows how to detox—you just need to support it the right way.
Easy Ways to Support Your Liver Naturally:
🥦 Eat cruciferous veggies – Broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and Brussels sprouts help your liver break down excess estrogen. I love roasting them with avocado oil and sea salt!
Looking for a convenient greens powder to help you reach your veggie goals? Look no further than here.This powder is organic and has the veggies your liver needs to function well.
🚰 Hydrate with electrolytes – Staying hydrated helps your liver flush out toxins. Bonus points for adding lemon or apple cider vinegar for an extra boost.
This has been my favorite clean and affordable electrolyte powder lately!
🌿 Support your gut – Your liver and gut work together. Eating fiber-rich foods like flaxseeds and fermented foods (kimchi, sauerkraut) helps your body eliminate toxins more effectively.
If you need extra support, a high-quality probiotic can be a game-changer.
🧴 Reduce toxin exposure – Many beauty and household products contain hormone-disrupting chemicals. Swapping to a non-toxic skincare brand can make a big difference!
I personally love BioJuve for clean, effective skincare.
Small changes add up! Try incorporating just one or two of these habits this week and see how you feel.
To your health! Dr. Francesca Medina

The Morning Routine That Changed Lauren's Health Hello Reader, I want to share a real-life patient story today; one that might inspire your own morning routine if you’ve been feeling tired, stressed, or just not quite yourself lately. When "Lauren" first came to see me, she was doing everything right (eating clean, working out, trying to stay positive) but she still felt drained. She described herself as “tired but wired,” and her energy was tanking by 2pm. Her weight wasn’t budging, and her...
Gut Health, Hormones & Skin: What I Tell Every Patient Hello Reader, Here’s something I tell nearly every patient who walks into my office: “Your gut is talking to the rest of your body—even if it’s not screaming.” Translation? Even low-grade issues like mild bloating, constipation, or inconsistent poops might be a sign that your hormones, mood, or skin are being affected under the surface. TL;DR: Your gut isn’t just where you digest—it’s where you regulate. Hormones, skin, energy, even your...
