Are you aware that gallbladder issues are skyrocketing, especially among younger people and even teenagers? In today’s urgent episode, we’re sounding the alarm on a healthcare crisis that’s become shockingly normalized: gallbladder removals. 

This isn’t just another elective surgery; it’s a major, life-altering decision.

Watch the live show below:

The Gallbladder: More Than a Bile Bag 

Your gallbladder serves as a storage unit for bile, a substance your body requires for breaking down fats and proteins. Essentially, this humble organ is instrumental in both digestion and phase III detoxification. Ignoring its importance could lead to long-term health implications.

It’s a startling fact: the number of 15-24 year-olds experiencing gallbladder issues has quadrupled, resulting in 600,000 gallbladder removals annually in the U.S. alone. This begs the question, what’s causing these problems? Is it the processed food, high-stress lifestyle, or something more?

Warning Signs Your Gallbladder is in trouble 

Diet is the #1 contributing factor to gallbladder health, so eating processed or fried foods, high-carb syrups, and/ or trans fat, your gallbladder is likely silently suffering.

If you’re experiencing: 

• Frequent burping
• Flatulence
• Gut pain that radiates to your chest
• The sudden presence of gallstones

Then your gallbladder may be crying out for help.

Healing Alternatives

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to avoid fats altogether if you have gallbladder issues. In fact, essential fatty acids (EFA’s) are essential for our bodies to survive. 

As the gallbladder and the liver are so closely connected, so are their healing strategies. Incorporating holistic remedies like: 

– Milk Thistle

– Dandelion Root

– Globe Artichoke 

Are great herbs that can support your liver and gallbladder health.

What Happens After Gallbladder Removal?

Losing your gallbladder isn’t a simple in-and-out operation; it’s a metabolic game-changer. If you’ve had your gallbladder removed, here are some crucial adaptations you should consider:

• Switch to Bile Salts: These can help compensate for the bile your gallbladder used to store.
• Consider a Detox Protocol: A structured detox can assist in opening blocked elimination pathways, possibly mitigating skin issues like eczema.
• Focus on Healthy Fats: Think avocado and fish oils; your brain is made of fat, and your body needs it to function correctly.
