Liver detox - #11997

Aasha

I am really worried about my health lately. A few weeks back, I started feeling super sluggish and bloated, and my friend suggested maybe I should consider a liver detox since I’ve been eating super unhealthy. I’ve heard some stuff about liver detox, but honestly, I didn’t think it was this serious. My energy levels are really low, and sometimes my skin feels kind of weird – like itchy or something. After looking into it, I'm thinking maybe I should at least try some form of liver detox, but I'm not sure what to do. My cousin did some cleanse where they only drank juice for a week, but I’m not sure I could handle that. I’m eating a lot of fast food, and I feel like I kinda need a reset, you know? I did some blood work (signs of possible liver issues?) and doc said my liver function tests came back normal but I still feel off. Would a liver detox even help if my tests are normal? Do I actually need to alter my diet drastically, or are there gentler ways to do a liver detox that won’t make me feel terrible? I’m just confused and looking for some real advice from doctors who've seen this kind of stuff.
