#345 | MM - Prevent (& Dissolve!?) Gallstones
Most people don't consider the health and function of their gall bladder until there's a sharp pain in the upper-right abdomen!
What generally happens is sludge and stones form in the gall bladder that can cause a blockage of the bile duct leading to inflammation and infection - cholecystitis.
At this point, surgical removal of the gall bladder (cholecystectomy) may be medically necessary.
Preventing and reversing gall bladder issues can be a simple and powerful process! Also, since over 700,000 people (!!!) have their gallbladders removed each year in the US alone, learning to eat and live healthfully without a gall bladder is very important.
In today's Medicinal Monday episode we discuss the most important considerations to prevent and reverse gall bladder issues naturally to optimize digestion and detoxification.
Join us live each Monday at 12 PT / 3 ET on the Alter Health YouTube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/alterhealth
