In this video, I go over the #1 Herb for your liver, kidneys and gut health. Struggling with sluggish digestion, liver stress, or low energy?
You’re not alone. In this episode of the Functional Nutrition Podcast, Dr. David Jockers dives into the number one herb that can transform your liver, kidneys, and gut health.
This isn’t just any herb—this is milk thistle; a time-tested natural powerhouse packed with compounds that protect and regenerate your cells.
How Milk Thistle Works Its Magic
Milk thistle contains silymarin, a flavonoid complex shown to boost your body’s master antioxidant, glutathione, by up to 50%. That means stronger liver, kidney, and intestinal cells, better detoxification, and protection against oxidative stress from environmental toxins, poor diet, and everyday stress.
Silymarin is even 10 times more potent than vitamin E at defending your cells, making it a true cellular superhero.
Benefits Beyond Detox
But the benefits don’t stop there. Milk thistle also strengthens your immune system by boosting antioxidants in your red and white blood cells. It helps improve circulation, oxygenation of tissues, and overall resiliency. For most people, it acts as a tonic—providing a natural boost that supports your body’s core systems without harsh side effects.
Ready to give your liver, kidneys, and gut the support they deserve? Listen to the full episode and discover how milk thistle can make a real difference in your health.
