One of the most important organs in the body is also one of the most ignored. It performs more than 500 essential jobs every day, yet most people know almost nothing about what it actually does. This organ controls how energy is stored and released, how hormones are balanced, how fats are broken down, how toxins are cleared, and how nutrients are used or wasted. It works nonstop, adapts moment by moment, and rarely causes pain when something goes wrong. In the modern world, this system is under constant pressure from processed foods, alcohol, medications, environmental chemicals, chronic stress, and lack of movement. The result is a growing wave of fatigue, metabolic dysfunction, and silent imbalance that often goes unnoticed until real damage is done. What happens when the body’s hardest working organ is asked to carry more than it can handle?

In this episode of Wild as Wise, Sara Estes breaks down what the liver actually does and why it plays such a central role in women’s health. She explains how this single organ manages energy, processes fats and cholesterol, balances hormones, recycles iron, supports immunity, and filters the blood every minute of the day. You'll learn how modern life places constant pressure on the liver and practical ways to support liver function. This episode reframes liver health as foundational, not optional. Listen in to understand how supporting this quiet powerhouse can restore energy, clarity, and balance throughout the body.

Fatigue has become common, but it shouldn’t be. Energy is meant to come from food, move through the body, and support clear thinking and steady focus. Instead, many women rely on caffeine and supplements that never seem to help for long. The advice is familiar: sleep more, stress less, eat better, yet energy still feels unreliable. The issue isn’t effort or discipline. Energy depends on systems in the body that turn food into usable fuel, and those systems live in the gut. When gut function is off, fuel may be there, but the body struggles to use it. This opens a different question: what if fatigue isn’t something to push through, but something to rebuild from the inside out?

In this episode of Wild as Wise, Sara Estes looks at energy as a biological process, not a mindset problem. She explains how gut bacteria support energy production, how gut irritation can affect inflammation, and why absorption matters as much as what you eat. The conversation moves into practical ideas, including fiber to support gut microbes, collagen for gut structure, and herbs traditionally used to soothe digestion. Rather than chasing quick fixes, this episode offers a clear, educational way to think about supporting the systems involved in steady energy.

You take the vitamins. You read the labels. You follow the rules. And yet you still feel tired, foggy, or off. For many women, supplements promise energy but don’t deliver it. We’re taught that if a pill contains enough of a nutrient, our body will use it. But that’s not how biology works. Many vitamins never get absorbed in a way that helps your cells. They pass through, and we’re left thinking we need more or that something is wrong with us. What if the real issue is that your body can’t use what you’re taking?

Welcome to Wild is Wise, a podcast focused on bringing clarity to women’s health. In this first episode, host Sara Estes, former private investigator turned functional health advocate, explains bioavailability and why the source and form of a vitamin matter more than the number on the label. You’ll learn why natural, whole-food nutrients work differently, why many synthetic supplements fall short, and what your body actually recognizes as nourishment. Listen in to stop guessing, stop wasting money on supplements that don’t work, and start supporting your health with clarity and intention.
