| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Amanda, women's health dietitian. And I'm Emily, nutritional therapy practitioner. |
| 0:06.3 | And this is the RU menstrual podcast, where we help you navigate the confusing world of women's hormones |
| 0:11.2 | and teach you how to have healthy periods. Each week, we will be diving into a different topic on women's |
| 0:16.6 | health and sharing our perspective using nutrition, female physiology, and metabolic health. |
| 0:21.6 | Our goal is to help you wait through conflicting health information and empower you on your |
| 0:25.5 | healing journey. We hope you enjoy it. In this episode, we are doing a special tribute to one of our hardest working organs, which is the liver. |
| 0:44.5 | The liver is best known for detoxification, but most people forget that your liver has to be healthy and functioning optimally to actually detox. |
| 0:52.6 | We're going to talk about exactly what that means |
| 0:54.9 | in how popular detox programs and supplements are often missing the mark when it comes to |

| 1:39.6 | hormones like estrogen is a really big one. And it makes them inactive so that we can get rid of those |
| 1:45.7 | hormones through digestion. So this is really important for hormone balance because if you |
| 1:50.4 | have a ton of excess estrogen circulating through your body, that's going to cause unwanted |
| 1:55.7 | symptoms that are related to estrogen dominance. But it's also really important to remember that the liver is so |
| 2:02.3 | intimately connected with the thyroid. So the liver actually converts thyroid hormone T4 into the |
| 2:09.4 | active form of T3. So it goes from inactive to active. We've talked about this before in previous |
