Fact

Dr. Steven Gundry views milk thistle as a beneficial antioxidant for liver support, but he does not endorse a specific "milk thistle cleanse". He recommends milk thistle as part of a comprehensive liver support strategy that also involves dietary changes and other supplements. [1, 2, 3]  
Key points on Dr. Gundry's perspective 

• Liver support, not a cleanse: Dr. Gundry promotes overall liver health rather than specific "cleanses." He includes milk thistle as a core ingredient in his "Complete Liver Support" supplement, which he claims helps the liver's natural detoxification process. 
• Polyphenol power: Dr. Gundry classifies milk thistle as a polyphenol and notes it is a cousin of the artichoke. Both are beneficial for increasing the liver's natural detoxification enzymes. 
• Gut-liver connection: According to Dr. Gundry, the healing effects of polyphenols like milk thistle on the liver are not direct. Instead, they work by positively changing the gut microbiome, and it's this change in the gut that, in turn, influences how the liver repairs itself. 
• Dietary approach: Dr. Gundry's philosophy on liver health is holistic, beginning with a lectin-free and low-sugar diet. He emphasizes avoiding harmful foods like high-fructose corn syrup, starch, and sugar, which he says are damaging to the liver. 
• Comprehensive support: Gundry's regimen for liver health extends beyond just milk thistle. For those looking to reverse fatty liver, he recommends a combination of supplements, including: 

 • Milk thistle 
 • B vitamins 
 • Zinc 
 • Selenium 
 • Magnesium 

• Cruciferous vegetables: He also advises incorporating certain vegetables, like cruciferous vegetables, garlic, and onions, into your diet to aid in liver detoxification and repair. [1, 3, 4, 5, 6]
