Episode 414: The Liver and Perimenopause: Tending Your Inner Fire
In this episode, Colette explores the liver, not just as an organ, but as your body’s fire keeper, the great transformer of food, hormones, and emotions.
Ayurveda teaches that the liver, or Yakrut, is the home of Pitta dosha and plays a vital role in keeping your inner fire balanced. During perimenopause, when hormones fluctuate and emotions rise and fall, the liver’s workload increases making its care essential for digestion, mood, and overall vitality.

The deep connection between liver health and perimenopausal symptoms such as irritability, hot flushes, and fatigue
Why the liver is linked to fiery emotions and how awareness, forgiveness, and cooling habits can help soothe them
Simple Ayurvedic strategies to support your liver through food, daily rhythm, and emotional balance
The truth about alcohol in perimenopause and how even small amounts can impact your hormones, mood, and sleep
How gentle lifestyle changes like bitter greens, herbal teas, cooling breath, and mindful eating can steady your inner flame
This episode offers a holistic roadmap for nurturing your liver and balancing your hormones naturally through this transformative life stage.
