Wendy Myers: Hello everyone. How are you? I’m Wendy Myers of MyersDetox.com. Thank you so much for joining me today. I’m going to be talking about a really important subject. I’m going to be talking about toxins in your beauty care products. Specifically, I am going to be talking about how your makeup could be poisoning your liver. A liver is something that’s really important to me, it’s something I’ve always worked on.

Wendy Myers: I think it’s one of the reasons why I have really healthy skin and really, really clear skin, and it’s something I’ve just really focused on the last 10 years. I’m trying to educate people more about the importance of caring for your liver to facilitate detoxification, and help and support your liver to break on all these toxins that we’re putting on and in our skin every day, that’s absorbing much better than if you just ate the toxin up in your beauty care products.

Wendy Myers: But I want to talk about specifically a new California law to remove toxins from beauty products, and how these can cause a toxic liver, and how this law, it’s called AB 450, it’s called the Toxic-Free Cosmetics Act and how it’s going to affect you, and what toxic ingredients are proposed to be removed from cosmetics. I’m going to be talking about how these toxins like the top 20 toxic products are ingredients in beauty care products that cause stubborn weight gain and resistant weight loss, and the exact mechanism of how that happens.

Wendy Myers: I’m also going to talk about hormone and estrogen imbalance and how that’s being caused by toxins in your beauty products. I’ll talk about six signs that your liver is struggling and how to care for your liver, and detox these toxic synthetic estrogens or xenoestrogens found in your cosmetics and beauty care products. I have used beauty care products and lotions and makeup since I was a child, and really started using them more intensely when I was probably about 13.

Wendy Myers: I was using masks on my skin and moisturizers, and putting lotion on my body every day, and started to wear makeup, and really got on this bandwagon to take care of my skin. But unfortunately, I never dreamed, as I was reading the product labels on my Lubriderm or my Nivea lotion or all these popular products when I was a kid. I never dreamed that when I was putting these on my body every day that I was destroying my health, my mood, my hormones, and my liver as well.

Wendy Myers: And so I thought that the government surely was overseeing these products, overseeing the manufacturers that made them. I just had this totally ignorant, false sense of security that the products I was using were totally safe. But the reality is the last time there’s been any legislation around cosmetics was in 1938, and this was when Congress enacted the Food drug and cosmetic Act.

Wendy Myers: But at that time, the cosmetics industry was about a billion dollars in sales per year. But in 2016, it’s reported that it’s up to $170 billion in sales. The cosmetics industry, it’s just growing exponentially and continues to grow. But nevertheless, only two pages of the 829 page federal food drug and cosmetic Act governs cosmetics. And the provisions provide the food and drug administration no financial resources whatsoever, and sharply limit its authority to regulate chemicals and contaminants that pose chronic health risks.

Wendy Myers: There’s zero oversight happening, unless it’s just really gross negligence. The reality also is that each day, American women use 12 personal care products on average. That’s not me. I use more than 12. And these 12 products that women use on average contain 168 different chemicals. And so men use an average of six personal care products, containing 85 different chemicals.

Wendy Myers: The sad part about this is that women are much more hormonally complex. There’s much more things that can go haywire when we are ingesting and topically applying cosmetics that are endocrine or hormone disruptors. So really, really problematic there. And so many of these products are applied directly to the skin, the body’s largest organ, where ingredients can really be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, much more, so much more effectively than if you ate these ingredients or orally ingested them.

Wendy Myers: So let’s talk about the new California law, it’s AB 450, that’s proposed to remove toxins from beauty products and how these cause liver toxicity. This bill is so long overdue, I’m just shocked that it’s taken this long with what we know about toxins in our beauty products and our environment, the air, food and water. It’s shocking that it’s really taken until 2020 to really do something about it and regulate these companies that up until now have just been self-regulating.

Wendy Myers: You know how well that goes. So this bill proposes to remove the top 20 worst toxins from cosmetics, including lead and mercury and endocrine disrupting chemicals that destroy our liver. We’ll get more into that in a minute and the exact mechanisms probably which these toxins harm the liver. But this bill will also strengthen enforcement authority and ensure that when violations are found, regulators notify the attorney general who will be able to take legal action against these companies.

Wendy Myers: And I hope that other states take the same initiative. You might have to be the one to raise this issue with your local representative, because these bills begin with grassroots initiative. Companies also listen to where people are voting with their dollars. So the organics, cosmetics, and natural cosmetics, mineral cosmetics, mineral makeups, these are a huge, huge growth sector in the beauty industry, and if you purchase more of those products, there’ll be more and more of them coming out on the market.

Wendy Myers: And so my plea to you is to stop buying toxic cosmetics and look for better alternatives. There’s great alternatives in every single different category of cosmetics, so hairspray and other ones. And so the current ineffective California law on cosmetic safety, mirrors the inadequate federal law. So it does not give state regulators enough authority to ensure that cosmetics sold to Californians are safe, or many states do not have any regulation as well.

Wendy Myers: And so what authority the law does provide us is rarely used. People are just left to themselves to buy products that are safe and to educate themselves about products that are safe. Let’s talk about some of the ingredients that are proposed to be removed. I got so excited about this. I can’t believe some of the ingredients that we know based on the research are harmful in so many ways, and they’re still allowed to be in products that we’re putting on our face every single day.

Wendy Myers: A lot of these ingredients cause weight gain directly and indirectly, and so these cosmetics and other toxins that are in our environment are one of the reasons that Americans are so obese. It’s not just the food that we’re eating, it’s not just the amount of food, it’s toxins that wreak havoc on our hormones and promote weight gain. It’s part of the picture. And so there’s no category of consumer projects that’s subject to less government oversight than cosmetics and other personal care products.

Wendy Myers: So starting in 2009 or since 2009, there’s been 595 cosmetics manufacturers that have reported using 88 chemicals that have been linked to cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm in more than 73,000 products sold in the US. And many of these chemicals are proposed in AB 945 to be banned from cosmetics, including formaldehyde, which is a known carcinogen. This is found in hair straighteners or keratin products that strengthen the hair, and these are really, really, really nasty.

Wendy Myers: This bill is also proposing removing chemicals that release formaldehyde. It’s also planning to remove mercury, although it’s long overdue, which can damage the kidney and nervous system which includes the brain, which promotes Alzheimer’s and is really, really nasty. It affects your thyroid, it affects so many different systems in the body. It’s just amazing. We’re also hoping to remove lead, which is a very potent neurotoxin.

Wendy Myers: Mercury and lead are also very potent mitochondrial poisons, which reduce energy production. Lead is found in many lipsticks and mascara and things of that nature. Asbestos, unbelievably, is still in cosmetics and it’s a known carcinogen. And it was recently found in children’s makeup kits. So you need to be very, very careful. Any cosmetics you buy your children just for play or for Halloween makeup. I do not buy cheap garbage that’s made in China. I just don’t do it. And it’s just everywhere.

Wendy Myers: When you go to department stores or 99 Cent stores or drug stores, there’s all kinds of little kits for your kids to play with that have lip glosses or blushes and eyeshadows, and look really cute, and they’re super, super cheap. But these can have very toxic chemicals in them. Children’s bodies are just not built to handle the endocrine disrupters and other toxins in these makeup kits.

Wendy Myers: Also, there’s a whole host of parabens which are preservatives and are also endocrine disruptors that we cohabit on our hormones as well. These are things that you see on the label. Say, methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, isobutylparaben, isopropylparaben, those are no go. Those are in almost every product you see at department stores and in most drug stores. You don’t want that in your body. It makes products last for years on the shelf, years behind the counter, years once you buy and take it home.

Wendy Myers: You don’t want this stuff going bad, so manufacturers put these very effective, cheap, petroleum based preservatives in them, but they destroy your hormones. Then there’s toluene. So this is toxic to the brain and nervous system and it’s found in nail polish. Triclosan, which you guys are very familiar with. This affects your thyroid and negatively affects your thyroid, and this is in all the hand sanitizers and all those weird orange antibacterial soaps.

Wendy Myers: I will pass on those. I will take the germs happily. I’m writing an article right now on the thyroid. I’m writing several articles on the thyroid, heavy metals that affect the thyroid and how exactly, and how chemicals and pesticides and things like triclosan impact the thyroid function as well. And there’s also a category of substances called PFAs which have been linked to cancer. These are also planned to be phased out of cosmetics.

Wendy Myers: And so many of these toxic chemicals have already been banned or restricted by other nations like Europe, and have been slated for removal from store brands of major US retailers, which is great, including Target, Rite Aid, Walgreens and CVS Health. For example, at the end of 2019, CVS Health prohibits the sale of products containing for formaldehyde, chemicals that release formaldehyde, parabens, neophthalates, and diethylhexyl phthalate, toluene, and triclosan. Phthalates are ingredients found in tide and found in laundry detergents and shampoos.

Wendy Myers: That perfume in your hair, the perfume that’s in the shampoo or the perfume that’s in the detergent, that’s why your sheets still smell like tide a month after you wash them. Hopefully you wash them more often than that, but phthalates are chemicals that are hormone disruptors that keep smells on your hair and your clothes. Some of these are already banned from products sold in whole foods.

Wendy Myers: But many of the chemicals including the AB495 do not have to be disclosed on the package because they are components of fragrance, and so they’re exempt from federal labeling requirements. So you’re not even going to know if some of these toxins are in your beauty products that you’re using. So you just need to avoid anything that has the word fragrance on it. And so let’s talk a little bit about phthalates.

Wendy Myers: So phthalates are endocrine disruptors and a developmental toxin that harms male reproductive system development. So it can cause early puberty in boys and other changes in the reproductive system. And there’s diethylhexyl phthalate that harms a reproductive system and can affect a developing fetus, and it’s been classified as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as well. Really, really nasty stuff.

Wendy Myers: Now I want to talk about the exact mechanisms of how these toxins cause stubborn weight gain and resistant weight loss, and hormone estrogen imbalance that’s caused by these toxic products and these chemicals. So research shows that these endocrine disrupting chemicals such as parabens and phthalates may pose the greatest risk during prenatal and early postnatal development when organ and neural systems and the brain is forming.

Wendy Myers: These chemicals have been linked to endocrine diseases and some types of cancers as well, and so these endocrine disruptors are known to affect how men’s bodies use estrogen, and have also been linked to breast cancer as a result. So these endocrine disruptors come in and they disrupt our body’s ability to make hormones, to use hormones, they affect the receptor sites in the body, they affect the conversion of one hormone into another hormone, and they affect just every different mechanism.

Wendy Myers: The hormone signaling, glands communicating to each other saying, “Hey, it’s time to make more that hormone.” These chemicals affect every different aspect of hormones. But here’s what’s happening in the body. There’s a few factors that cause low estrogen production for instance. These hormones affect progesterone, they affect testosterone, they affect so many other different hormones, thyroid hormones, stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, norepinephrine, et cetera.

Wendy Myers: But let’s focus in on estrogen because this is such a big problem for women and for men as well. The factors that cause low estrogen production, the top three are xenoestrogen, so these chemicals and beauty products, stress, and para menopause and menopause. So let’s go into detail about each one of those. xenoestrogen. These lower actual hormones, the hormones that we make in our body.

Wendy Myers: It lowers the amount that can actually attach onto estrogen receptor sites, because these estrogen mimickers are filling up all the binding sites for estrogen, so that our real estrogen can’t get through and act on those receptor sites to create the desired effect in the body. And so this signals to the body to produce less estrogen because you don’t need it. Your body thinks that you have plenty because all of these estrogen mimickers are filling up all of your estrogen receptor sites.

Wendy Myers: And then there’s stress. So there’s so many types of stress acting on our bodies. EMF or electromagnetic radiation from wifi computers are acting on and really, really affecting our body’s electrical systems. There’s nutritional stress, people that are absorbing their food, and there’s emotional stress and emotional trauma. Then compound the toxic chemicals with all this stress.

Wendy Myers: So if you have too much stress, the resources in your body that go to making hormones go to making stress hormones instead of sex hormones like estrogen. So you have less estrogen as a result of that. And then if you’re additionally in your 40s or 50s or going into para menopause and then menopause, you just make less estrogen. This is nature’s law. No way around that. So that also can compound this issue as well.

Wendy Myers: So what happens in all of these situations when you have low estrogen? Well, estrogen is one of the hormones that helps regulate insulin getting into your cells. Insulin is the hormone that shuttles sugar into your cells so your body can use that sugar. So if you have low estrogen, you can develop insulin resistance. It can be a slight insulin resistance or a pretty bad insulin resistance where your body is just not responding to insulin at all.

Wendy Myers: That’s what we see in diabetes. So if you have low estrogen, you can develop insulin resistance. Your cells don’t respond to insulin in your bloodstream to shuttle sugar into your cells. So if you have a situation where sugar and carbs that break down into sugar that you eat cannot get into your cells, this causes high blood sugar, swings in your blood sugar, and then you have more cravings throughout the day. You also tend to be a lot more thirsty as well and urinating more often.

Wendy Myers: And because of this, you gain weight due to all this snacking, due to all this where you feel like you’re eating and eating, and then an hour later you want to eat again. You just feel like you can’t get out of the cycle of cravings and overeating and late night snacking, and it’s not your fault. It’s not because you’re weak or you can’t follow your diet. Biology will always overcome willpower.

Wendy Myers: So I want people to be really tightly aware of how these toxins impact your hormones, which then impact other aspects of your body’s physiology and drive your behaviors like snacking, overeating and binge eating. And so all of this sets the stage for diabetes. And when you think about when a lot of women move into para menopause and menopause, that low estrogen level causes them to gain a little bit more weight.

Wendy Myers: Also, because fat will actively produce estrogen. So because you have low estrogen from all these factors I just mentioned, your body will put on weight because fat actively produces estrogen, which you need, and it also, this fat serves as a storage receptacle so the body can stuff all these toxins away somewhere, safely away from vital organs in the brain and central nervous system.

Wendy Myers: So it’s just the body’s attempt. It’s a survival mechanism to protect you. So let’s say someone develops diabetes from all these hormone disrupting chemicals, and they get on medications to increase insulin, to shuttle all that sugar into the cells. But this hormone, insulin, tells your body to store fat and then you gain even more weight. That’s what tends to happen when people get on diabetic medications like Metformin or they’re doing shots. They gain even more weight, and it’s just this vicious cycle that happens.

Wendy Myers: And I saw this with my father, I’ve seen this with other family members as well. And then there’s fat stem cells. So there’s a lot of chemicals and cosmetics that cause stem cells to turn into more fat cells, more than we would normally see in the absence of the presence of these hormone disrupting chemicals. There’s some chemicals called obesogens that just promote the production of more fat cells and also promote the fat cells that do have to grow much, much larger than they normally would, because these chemicals are just acting on our body in that way, or fat cells in that way.

Wendy Myers: And so more of them are made and this results in more fat on the body. That’s just a very simplistic explanation, and there’s lots more examples of how these chemicals cause weight gain. But let’s talk about the liver and how, if you have a congested liver, this will also promote weight gain as well. So I want to talk about how to care for your liver and detox toxic xenoestrogens found in your cosmetics and your beauty products.

Wendy Myers: The reality is that we are all guilty of using toxic beauty products and toxic cosmetics with all these chemicals I just mentioned throughout the years. I have for decades and decades, and many of us are still guilty. You guys know who you are still using toxic makeup or toxic hair spray or whatever the case may be. You may just have a product that you like, and you like the price point, and you the texture, and you like the smell, and you just don’t feel like risking buying another product or buying something that’s really expensive that may not work as well or have the same texture or performance as this toxic product that you know you can depend on.

Wendy Myers: So my urge to you is just to try new products out there, read reviews, go onto ewg.org/skindeep. You can look at reviews of products and find new ones. Just take the time to do the work. It’s worth the investment. The issue with a lot of these toxic products is they can take quite a toll on your liver. Your liver is tasked with breaking down, metabolizing, and excreting all of these toxins, not just in your personal care products, but there’s about a hundred thousand chemicals in the air, food and water, and the liver has so many jobs to do in the body including breaking all this garbage down and taking out that trash.

Wendy Myers: So our livers are truly overburdened. They’re over tasked. They cannot handle not only the toxins, but the liver has to break down all the carbs, all the nasty fats that people eat. If they’re eating too much fat, throw on a keto diet because the liver has to break down all the fat and deal with them and metabolize them, and deal with hormones and thyroid hormones. It’s just dealing with so many different things, production of cholesterol, and our livers are just toast really because of all the things it has to do and all the things that are thrown at it.

Wendy Myers: When our liver is clogged or congested or overwhelmed, this creates this backlog of toxins the liver cannot process, and then the body is forced to store these toxins in fat cells. It’s a very brilliant mechanism the body has come up with to deal with storing all these toxins, and it’s a huge reason why so many people cannot lose weight. The toxins have to be stored somewhere in the body, and the fat is a very logical place for the body to store all this stuff.

Wendy Myers: And so this is why the body will resist your attempts to lose this fat. I cannot even tell you with myself, with other clients, just hundreds of clients that are doing everything right. They’re eating perfectly, they’re taking the right supplements, they’re trying to sleep every night, they’re killing themselves exercising, and the scale is not budging or it’s hardly moving because the body won’t release these toxins. It can’t. It’s using your fat as a garbage can.

Wendy Myers: So it’s not going to allow the release of these. You can starve yourself. Your body won’t have any choice. But for a lot of women, they’re just stuck like this hamster in a wheel not getting anywhere, and this is one of the reasons. Part of the reason is because their liver is congested and not functioning optimally. And so this is a survival mechanism that can only be broken by stopping the influx of the toxins, which you can’t control everything, and cleansing and detoxing the liver and body.

Wendy Myers: So essentially, by purging and cleansing the liver, this can stop this vicious cycle and promote weight loss and optimal detoxification. So you really don’t want to be detoxing unless you’re trying to remove metals and chemicals, unless your detox pathways are open, unless your liver is functioning optimally to excrete them and process them. And you can’t just think about this once a year and forget about it.

Wendy Myers: You’ve got to cleanse your liver on a regular basis. You have to care for your liver on a regular basis. This is such an important skillset to know. I can’t stress that enough. So it’s my mission to teach people about the liver, its functions, the toxins that affect it, and how to care for your liver. I’m really passionate about this because I can’t really express to you how much better I started feeling when I started really becoming aware of toxins and detox in my body and taking care of my liver.

Wendy Myers: It was such a game changer for me. I started caring for my liver about 10 years ago, really focusing in on it and doing liver support supplements, liver cleansing coffee enemas, liver flushing, things like that. And it’s made such a huge difference in just my energy levels, the way my skin looks, feeling like I’m reversing and stopping the aging process, and my brain functioning.

Wendy Myers: It’s just really been a game changer for me. And so I want to tell you guys all about how to care for your liver. So I created a course. It’s a really easy guided course called the 14 Day Liver Rehab Cleanse. So I want you guys to take my 14 Day Liver Rehab Cleanse Challenge. It’s just such a fundamental aspect of detoxification. It’s so important to focus on your liver. For many people, it’s the first step.

Wendy Myers: You’re going to be thinking about caring for your liver first before you think about doing hardcore detox. And I’m so proud of this course because it’s the best of everything that I’ve learned about liver detox over the years, and I’ve spent a fortune on all kinds of cleanses and trying different things. I worked with hundreds of people one on one and tens of thousands through group programs, and I’ve learned often the hard way what works and what doesn’t work.

Wendy Myers: I’ve also learned what is easy, what’s doable and what doesn’t inconvenience you too much with a detox crisis that prevents you from working or enjoying your life. And so the result is this 14 day step by step program. And with it you get a lot. You get three webinars, and on these webinars I’m going to be talking about all kinds of things. I’ll be talking about the toxic liver epidemic, how liver detox is not an optional thing, how to use liver cleansing to optimize weight loss, hormones, and sleep.

Wendy Myers: I’ll talk about secrets of phase one and two liver detox, I’ll talk about the liver rehab diet which are the best and the worst foods for your liver, and why most liver detox supplements fail, and what you want to take instead, what really works, and I’ll also really go on a deep dive into advanced liver detox protocols, including coffee enemas, castor oil packs, liver gallbladder flushes, and more.

Wendy Myers: Because I’ve done a few liver gallbladder flushes over the years, and I really don’t like the Epsom salt ones. They just don’t sit well with me. So I created a more effective one that doesn’t make you gag like the Epsom salt ones, and is really delicious actually. We’ll also talk about the top nutrients for supporting your liver, and feeling a lot better as a result of taking these nutrients.

Wendy Myers: In this course, you also get nine videos that I created with different people that are really, really in the know about how to care for your liver, and I created seven guides that you’ll get in my liver rescue e-library. And so I really feel like your liver is key to all your 2020 health fitness and beauty goals, because I know a lot of us, including myself, are wanting to lose like 10 or 20 pounds, and that’s going to be really difficult to do unless you support your liver for all the reasons I just talked about.

Wendy Myers: You’re going to have a really hard time losing excess weight if your liver and gallbladder is filled with all kinds of stones and particles and things that need to be purged. You need to re out your liver and reset it so that it can get to this next batch of toxins. Also, as you’re losing weight, you want to make sure your liver is optimized so it can break down and flush all this crap out that you’re releasing into your body as you’re losing weight.

Wendy Myers: So it’s the flip side of that. Also, by purging the liver, you can beat those late night or sugar cravings because you’ll have better blood sugar balance, and it’s also easier to clear a candida when you remove toxins from your liver. Candida is also a big cause of cravings also. You can also find yourself having a lot more energy when you cleanse your liver.

Wendy Myers: If your liver is fatty or overwhelmed, you’re going to feel sluggish and kind of slow and also have a nap after you eat because your liver just can’t handle all of the stuff it’s got to break down after you eat. Also, when you have a congested liver, you tend to not produce enough bile and enough enzymes to power your digestion, so people end up having more gas, bloating, and indigestion when their liver is congested.

Wendy Myers: So when you cleanse, you can reverse those symptoms. You can also kiss under eye circles and skin blemishes goodbye. I have never had better skin than when I began doing coffee enemas and liver cleanses. I was really surprised because I had had really my whole life struggle with blackhead and skin congestion and maybe some acne here and there, but really I was perplexed with all the blackheads. I would have to go get a facial and I would do that on a regular basis to squeeze all your individual pores.

Wendy Myers: But that was the only way I could clear all of these blackheads. But when I started doing coffee enemas, within a month ice skin completely cleared up. When your liver is congested, the toxins start coming out through your skin and people have acne and rashes and blackheads and whiteheads, and just all kinds of little skin irritations. Even itchy skin.

Wendy Myers: So when you start cleansing the liver, that will go away. So that’s why I created this course. And I created nine different videos as well. It’s a series of how-to videos that covers every aspect of this process from coffee enemas, to castor oil packs and beyond. The first video is everything you never wanted to know about coffee enemas and all of their benefits, and I also created a second video with Eileen Durfee on how to do coffee enemas, so the step-by-steps on how to do a coffee enema.

Wendy Myers: I do another video on how to do liver gallbladder flushes with Eileen Durfee also, and there’s also a guide that I wrote as well on how to do liver gallbladder flushes with very, very clear step by step instructions and everything you need to do a liver gallbladder flush, why you need to use these ingredients, and what they do, how they facilitate flushing your liver and gallbladder, and why you need to do regular two times a year liver gallbladder flushing.

Wendy Myers: I also do a video on what if my liver enzymes are high with the brilliant, Michael McEvoy. I know a lot of you guys have or have had high liver enzymes. When you go to your doctor and do your yearly checkup, find that you have elevated liver enzymes but the doctor doesn’t give you any solutions. There’s no medication to take for that, and they don’t give you any suggestions whatsoever. I tell you what to do about high liver enzymes and how to bring those down to normal.

Wendy Myers: For those of you guys that don’t have a gallbladder, we have a video for you. Also, the video explains the gallbladder, what its function is and why you need to care for it, and how to optimize your health without a gallbladder. There’s a lot of challenges that people have if they don’t have a gallbladder. We also talk about how emotional constipation equals a constipated liver. So I have a brilliant video with Josh Mason of the detoxdudes.com, talking about all the emotional aspects of the liver.

Wendy Myers: Many people that have anger or emotional trauma, that can really affect the liver a lot. It negatively impacts it. And conversely, people that have a lot of irritability, frustration, anger, emotional outburst where they lose control, this is due to a congested liver that needs to be flushed and cared for better. The seventh video is top supplements and food for liver health. I have another one I did with Dr. Marisol about how to do a castor oil pack and all the benefits of castor oil packs, which I love.

Wendy Myers: And I do another video with Julie Donaldson, who’s brilliant, and we talk about the fatty liver fix. Because a fatty liver affects 30 million Americans, and you don’t have to drink alcohol to get a fatty liver. Even children are presenting with fatty livers. A fatty liver is when 10% of your liver has fat cells in it that are replacing functioning liver cells. It’s really a huge, huge problem, and this can be reversed, and we tell you how.

Wendy Myers: And so I’m just so proud of this course and I want you to join me on this 14 Day Liver Cleanse, and it’s so easy. All you have to do is follow. Each day there’s very specific steps. You get a PDF that goes through each day step by step on what we’re going to be doing to cleanse your liver, and you can repeat it as often as you like. I recommend doing it at least twice a year and taking the opportunity to try a coffee enema, try a liver flush, try some different liver supporting supplements, and learn what you can do in your supplementation protocols and within your diet to help your liver function better, to support your liver.

Wendy Myers: So I want to teach you how to love your liver. This is such a huge missing key for so many people that are tired, that are bloated, that don’t tolerate fat in their diet, that are trying keto and it’s not working for them, that are having hormonal issues, that are having trouble sleeping at night, that their skin is just not alive. There’s so many different symptoms of a congested toxic liver. We go into that in the course, and I wanted to provide solutions for people.

Wendy Myers: It’s an awareness about this underlying root cause, a very common underlying root cause of people’s health symptoms, and then what to do about it. How exactly do you care for your liver, because you don’t get this information at your doctor’s office. You don’t go into your doctor’s office and say, “Hey, doc, I have all these symptoms.” And then do a test and you have high liver enzymes.

Wendy Myers: You’re given no solutions whatsoever. You’re told coffee enemas are dangerous, which is complete malarkey. So you just don’t get any solutions at all for high liver enzymes or how to care for your liver, and so that’s where I come in. So guys, thanks for joining me, and I will talk to you next week.
