The gallbladder is a small sac that sits below the liver with the following important functions: •Bile storage and concentration •Regulation of bile release •Cholesterol regulation •Antimicrobial functions •Hunger and blood sugar control •Detox support •Helps trigger the antioxidant glutathione Bile is vital for the breakdown of fats, so you can absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, E, D, K1, K2, and omega-3 fatty acids. Bile can also help thyroid hormones work more efficiently. Gallbladder removal surgery is often the result of gallbladder stones. Gallstones come from a lack of bile. People are often told the following lies and convinced into gallbladder removal surgery: •There are no other options. •A diseased gallbladder causes gallstones. •You can’t prevent gallstones with diet. •Gallbladder removal does not cause complications. •Post-cholecystectomy is controversial. •Gallstones that result from pregnancy require gallbladder removal surgery. Gallstones can be caused by high levels of estrogen, being overweight, and diabetes, but one of the biggest gallbladder stone causes is high insulin! Insulin resistance resulting from chronically high insulin levels can prevent the liver from producing adequate bile and weaken the gallbladder. A low-carb diet and intermittent fasting are the best solutions for gallbladder stones. Your microbes also produce bile, so anything that destroys them can affect bile. Antibiotics and low-fat, low-cholesterol diets increase the risk for gallstones. Fatty fish has the most potent effect on bile production. You can also increase bile with cholesterol foods such as butter, eggs, shellfish, seafood, and liver. Egg yolks and liver are high in choline, a key nutrient vital for bile production. Bitter greens, arugula, radish, celery, and sauerkraut can help make additional bile salts. Citrus, betaine hydrochloride, and ACV can increase acidity to trigger the release of bile. Herbs like turmeric, ginger, milk thistle, parsley, and cilantro are also beneficial. Chronic stress increases cortisol, which suppresses bile.
