this weeks episode - we're talking about gallbladder + bile health. sexy huh? however. it's in tune with the season of spring - detox, release, free flowing.

cholecystectomy's are one of the most common surgeries done in the united states and often discussed with patients as "oh just a quick and easy removal- NBD"

NO. it is a big deal - divine made no mistakes when making these bodies and we can't just snip snip things out WITHOUT trying to do something about it first. that's not to say there isn't a time and place for surgery - but careless removal ain't it.

when i work with clients who have had gallbladder removal surgeries - the number one thing I hear is "I wish I would have known these things before hand to try them out first"

so this week - we're talking about how to keep your gallbladder healthy for the long haul.

signs you may need this little bit of gallbladder TLC are:

right upper quadrant pain or between the shoulders with high fat foods

jaundice (yellowing of eyes, nail beds, mucous membranes)

inability to digest fatty foods

burping up fish oils

oil slick in the toilet

clay-colored or white stools

inability to absorb fat soluble vitamins D,A,K,E

sluggish digestion, diarrhea/constipation

tune in and stay healthy out there.
