For decades, women have been told that sugar—and fruit in particular—should be avoided if they want to lose weight. I used to believe it too. I thought sugar was “poison” and that eating fruit would contribute to fat gain.

One of the more common challenges I hear from women who are struggling with their metabolism is their lack of sleep. Either they have trouble falling asleep, they wake up frequently, and/or they have trouble falling back asleep (the dreaded wake up between 2 and 4AM). This leaves women exhausted, weary, and stressing over sleep, which only leads to more issues. Your liver is often connected to these challenges but there are ways you can naturally support your liver!
