Your gallbladder didn't randomly fail.

It was the end result of a system that had been struggling long before surgery became your answer.

Bile that was too thick to flow — often from taurine, magnesium, zinc or selenium deficiency. Excess estrogen thickening bile further. Chronic stress shutting down digestive function. Medications altering bile composition. Nutrient overload burdening the liver.

The surgery removed the organ that was causing immediate pain. It didn't touch any of these things.

Which is why so many women feel better for a few weeks post-surgery — and then slowly start to feel worse again. In different ways. With symptoms their doctor doesn't connect to the gallbladder that was removed years earlier.

The root cause is still there. It just doesn't have a gallbladder to express itself through anymore.

Understanding what created the problem in the first place is the only thing that actually changes the trajectory. And it starts with knowing what your liver, bile ducts, and mineral status actually need.

Did you know that low alkaline phosphatase (under 50) on a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel is often correlated with zinc deficiency?

Constipation = poor bile flow

Bile is a fluid made in your liver and stored in your gallbladder. It helps lubricate your digestive 'pipes' to help you go. It also helps prevent bacterial overgrowth in the gut (think SIBO, leaky gut, bloating, IBS).

So what causes poor bile flow?
-Toxicity — especially of fat soluble vitamins (A and D), your body down regulates bile to keep you from becoming more toxic, since bile helps you absorb fat soluble vitamins.
-Nutrient deficiency — especially zinc, selenium, B1, B3, potassium and taurine
-Stress — less bile is released when your body is stuck in 'fight or flight mode'
-Liver injury — from Rx meds (especially antibiotics), supplements, nutrient excess and toxic exposure

Your body is super smart and does thing for a REASON. When you work on understanding why your body is doing what it's doing you can support it in the right way, instead of suffocating it with endless supplements and meds it doesn't want and put more stress on the system.

Got zinc? The following signs of zinc deficiency are clues that you're just not getting enough:

-Stretch marks
-Decreased immune response
-Increased susceptibility to viral infections
-Diabetes
-Loss of appetite
-Hair loss
-Skin problems (acne, eczema, etc.)
-White spots on the nails
-Slow wound healing
-Anorexia Nervosa

When zinc deficiency occurs due to inadequate zinc-rich foods in the diet, poor absorption of zinc due to low stomach acid or other malabsorption conditions, increased bodily need for zinc, or the increased excretion of zinc from stress or other conditions, you'll want to know and make changes to quickly correct it.

Just say NO to keto, unless you want a high probability of…

🚩 digestive issues (re: bloating, constipation, a lack of fiber starved you good gut bacteria )
🚩 low energy/fatigue (reduced conversion of T4 to T3 — active thyroid hormone)
🚩 hormonal issues (period problems, reduced libido)
🚩 increased stress
🚩 strong cravings for carbs, chocolate + salt

These are your body's check engine lights going off like CRAZY!

While I don't support these kinds of diets for men or women, women tend to get symptomatic more quickly and severely. Some rare genetics can handle these kinds of diets longer term, but most cannot and it's just a matter of time until the body can no longer adapt to this kind of fuel.

Why eat a diet anyways that is typically reserved for those living in extreme temperatures like the Arctic where lush, carbohydrate-rich vegetation is not possible?!

Your body can't tell your extreme diet of carbohydrate restriction from actual starvation or harsh environmental conditions.

The body's interpretation of these drastic dietary changes lands somewhere between intense stress and the possibility of death, which often first manifests with the absence of normal digestive function and an obvious lack of energy.

Not exactly the ideal scenario for someone seeking health. Think abundance > restriction 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

To boot, after talking to over 1,000 women about their health woes, I see a huge correlation between low carb diets and SIBO (small intestine bacteria overgrowth 🤢💩). Probably because your gut bacteria are starving!
