The Liver: Your Body’s Master Filter
Your liver performs over 500 functions, but three are critical for pelvic health:
1. Blood Filtration
Your liver filters approximately 1.5 liters of blood every minute. It removes toxins, hormones, metabolic waste, and inflammatory compounds. Clean blood leaves the liver. Dirty blood recirculates.
When your liver is congested; overloaded by processed foods, seed oils, medications, or environmental toxins.. it cannot filter efficiently. Dirty blood continues circulating. And where does that dirty blood eventually pool? In the lowest point of your body: the pelvis.
2. Hormone Regulation
Your liver is responsible for clearing used hormones from your bloodstream. This includes estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
When your liver is sluggish, hormones recirculate instead of being eliminated. This creates a state called hormone dominance; particularly estrogen dominance, which directly affects pelvic organs.
Pelvic effects of hormone dominance:
· Fibroids
· Ovarian cysts
· Endometriosis
· Heavy or painful periods
· Prostate enlargement (in men)
· Pelvic congestion syndrome
3. Bile Production
Your liver produces bile to digest fats and carry toxins out of your body. Bile is your primary route of elimination for fat-soluble wastes; including excess hormones and inflammatory compounds.
When bile becomes thick and sluggish; from dehydration, poor diet, or liver congestion, those toxins never leave. They recirculate. And again, they eventually settle in the pelvis.
