Summary
If you’ve ever felt like your hormones are off, this episode is for you. Erin is joined by functional dietitian Nicole Antes, MS, RDN, to unpack a MASSIVELY overlooked topic in hormone health: the liver.
Together, they explore how nutrient deficiencies, alcohol, synthetic fragrances, and even your cookware may be burdening your detox pathways and leading to hormonal imbalances like estrogen dominance.
Nicole shares real-world client cases and practical strategies to support your liver, gut, and overall detoxification without expensive fads or restrictive cleanses. You’ll learn why liver support goes far beyond supplements, what your poop says about your hormone health, and how simple lifestyle swaps can make a profound impact.
This is the episode that connects the dots between gut, liver, and hormones in a way that finally makes sense.
In This Episode:
- Why non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is rising, even in seemingly healthy women
- How daily exposure to “low dose” endocrine disruptors like fragrance can disrupt hormone function
- The gut-liver-hormone triangle - and why pooping daily is essential for estrogen detox
- Nicole’s favorite supplements to support methylation and reduce estrogen dominance symptoms
- Smart, doable swaps for non-toxic living, from castor oil packs to cookware and water filters

| 0:05.3 | is just overexposure to toxicants, things like xenoestrogens, which are compounds that can mimic |
| 0:11.0 | estrogen in the body. And then more commonly what people probably are hearing about is endocrine |
| 0:16.0 | disrupting chemicals, which are things like BPA, pfas, PFAs, pesticides, synthetic fragrance. So it's |
| 0:23.1 | kind of a whole class of different chemicals that can be in a lot of different places. I'm Aaron Holt, |
| 0:29.5 | and this is the functional nutrition podcast where we lean into intuitive functional medicine. |
| 0:34.9 | We look at how diet, our environment, our emotions, and our beliefs all affect |
| 0:39.7 | our physical health. I've got over a decade of clinical experience, and because of that, |

| 1:06.2 | More hormone conversation. |
| 1:07.9 | Today we're going to be focusing specifically on liver health and how to |
| 1:11.8 | support the liver. I've given it a head nod in recent episodes because it's really hard to talk |
| 1:16.8 | about hormone health without talking about liver health. Today, though, I have a guest. I have |
