I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard, “My doctor said my liver is cirrhotic, and it just kind of… happened.” No.
Physiology doesn’t just wake up one morning and decide to collapse. There were signs, often for years. Cirrhosis is the scar-tissue stage of repeated injury.
In English: the liver has been inflamed, overworked, and under-supported for so long that it starts laying down scar tissue to protect itself. That scarring stiffens the liver and slows everything—detox, hormone clearance, digestion, metabolism.
Long before a cirrhosis diagnosis, there were probably “mildly elevated” enzymes, fatigue, abdominal discomfort, brain fog, blood sugar issues, or “you’re fine, just lose weight” conversations. That’s the window where Naturopathic, root-cause medicine can actually change the story.
At RHMC, we take early liver strain seriously. We look for patterns: alcohol, medications, infections, metabolic issues, toxins, nutrient deficiencies, etc. Then we build a plan to calm inflammation, restore nutrients, support detox pathways, and stop the ongoing damage.
You don’t prevent cirrhosis by getting lucky. You prevent it by paying attention when the body starts whispering instead of waiting until it screams.
If your labs have been “a little off” and you’re being told not to worry, but your gut says otherwise, 👉 Request a Discovery Call and let’s dig deeper.
