The Liver Flush Trade-Off (Is It Right For You?) - Sena Maria & Dr. Suuzi Hazen

The Liver Flush Trade-Off (Is It Right For You?) - Sena Maria & Dr. Suuzi Hazen

Author: Amber Magnolia Hill February 18, 2026 Duration: 1:19:57

Thousands of people report major improvements in their health after doing the liver/gall bladder flush, but can it be harmful? The answer is- it depends, on a ton of variables, and no two people are going to experience the same physiological impact. 

Even when flushing is successful, there will be a cost to the body's nutrient stores.

So what can we do to ensure that liver flushing will tip more toward beneficial and less toward depleting?

What symptoms might indicate that a flush could benefit you?

Are there gentler ways to do a flush?

I'm your host Amber and today I am joined by mineral balancing practitioner Sena Maria and Doctor of Chinese Medicine Suuzi Hazen to discuss our experiences with liver flushing alongside considerations that we feel are missing from the online conversations we see about this process.

The truth is that liver flushing is a trade off,  with extraordinarily beneficial results possible but real depletion and imbalance also very possible, so let's talk about how to mitigate harmful results and tweak the protocol to fit your life and body.
