Detox teas won’t fix your hormones. Learn how your liver and colon work together for true detoxification and hormonal balance.
Your body already has the most powerful detox system imaginable: your liver and colon. The problem isn’t toxins, it’s stagnation. When your colon is sluggish, your body reabsorbs waste and hormones that should have been excreted.
The Science
Your liver detoxifies in two stages. In phase one, it breaks down toxins and used hormones like estrogen into intermediate compounds. In phase two, it binds those compounds to bile so they can exit the body through your stool. If your colon isn’t moving daily, these substances are reabsorbed into your bloodstream.
That reabsorption causes “estrogen dominance”—a hormonal imbalance that can lead to PMS, acne, bloating, breast tenderness, and fatigue. This is why many women who struggle with hormonal symptoms don’t need a detox—they need better elimination.
The Root Cause
Constipation and poor detox function usually stem from dehydration, low fiber intake, mineral deficiencies, and chronic stress. High cortisol slows digestion by diverting energy away from the gut. Add in processed foods, lack of movement, and low water intake, and your digestive system simply gets stuck.
How to Support It
· Hydrate deeply. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water daily, with electrolytes.
· Add fiber gradually. Include chia seeds, flax, and colorful vegetables for bulk and prebiotics.
· Support your liver. Eat cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, cauliflower) to boost detox enzymes.
· Use magnesium. Magnesium citrate or glycinate helps relax intestinal muscles.
· Move daily. Gentle exercise improves peristalsis and lymphatic flow.
You don’t detox by starving or juicing, you detox by pooping. Regular elimination is the foundation of hormonal health, clear skin, and stable energy.
