Episode 005 - Why Gut Health Alone Isn't Enough: The Gut-Liver Axis Explained

Brandon Sojka Season 1 Episode 5

Episode 005 – The Gut–Liver Axis: Where Healing Actually Starts

You’ve been told to focus on your gut. But what if the real issue isn’t just digestion—it’s a broken conversation between your gut and your liver?

In this episode, we reveal why chronic symptoms like bloating, fatigue, food sensitivities, mood swings, and brain fog often trace back to one central axis in your biology: the gut–liver axis. This communication loop is your internal security system—and when it’s out of sync, your body stays stuck in defense mode, no matter how “healthy” your habits are.

You’ll learn:

Why digestion is a dialogue, not a one-way street

  • How butyrate acts like a peace treaty between your gut, liver, and immune system
  • The truth behind serotonin, mood, and the gut–liver–brain connection
  • What slows gut motility—and how to restart your rhythm
  • How BIOMEnd® is making butyrate finally usable for real people with real symptoms
  • The 5 early signs your gut–liver axis is out of sync (and what to do about it)

🎯 If you’ve been chasing protocols but still feel inflamed, reactive, or stuck—this is the missing piece.
