Gall bladder issues are OH SO common, leading to tons of surgeries... what's the cause???
It's actually quite simple... sorta.
In this week's episode we talk about caring for the gallbladder. We address both prevention and treatment of gallbladder issues with lifestyle medicine. We also touch upon lifestyle considerations for those living without their gallbladder - which is many, many people!

Some highlights from today's MM episode...
- Gallbladder is the bile sac, storing bile which is required for fat digestion
- High-fat diets cause stress on the biliary system, leading to gall sludge and stone formation
- Meat, dairy, eggs, and oil are the main foods to avoid for gallbladder health
- It's always best to eat FAT in the context of WHOLE FOODS (no oils!)
- The liver creates bile, and without a gallbladder also stores some bile
- Without a gallbladder it is even MORE IMPORTANT to optimize liver health
