All of that is good!
Additionally, I worry about keeping the hormonal balance right, taking the right amounts of the right things, to keep all my hormones in check...
There's also the concern that some of the herbs we use for NBE also mess with other hormonal pathways, a common one being licorice messing with the corticosteroids and aldosterone. The way I used to manage that was to watch my sodium and keep it exceptionally low, take extra B vitamins, and heart health stuff. I'll still be taking heart health stuff and extra B vitamins even though I've quit licorice.
Uhm. I don't worry as much about my liver, mainly because I try to use concentrates and extracts instead of whole herbs.
Actually though, cutting back chocolate might not necessarily be a good thing... Chocolates been shown to be extremely good for keeping cholesterol down and overall heart health. The caffeine in cocoa is minimal enough I doubt it'd have much impact.
