Description

If you’ve tried cutting foods, adding probiotics, and drinking all the ginger tea—but you’re still bloated—this episode is for you.

Today, we’re digging into a lesser-talked-about (but super important) part of digestion: bile flow and gallbladder health. Your gallbladder isn’t just there to cause pain during a cleanse—it’s a key player in breaking down fats, supporting liver detox, and keeping bloating in check.

In this episode, we cover:

  • 🧠 What bile is, and why it matters WAY more than most people realize

  • 🫙 How sluggish bile flow can lead to bloating, nausea, food intolerances, and hormone issues

  • 🫁 Why your gallbladder is not useless—and what happens when it’s not supported

  • 🥬 Foods, herbs, and habits that naturally promote better bile flow

  • 🚫 Common wellness practices (like low-fat diets or over-cleansing) that might be messing with your gallbladder

  • 🧪 Signs your bile flow may be off—even if your labs are “normal”

Your digestion isn’t just about what you eat—it’s about how your body breaks it down and moves it through. Bile flow is one of those missing pieces that can shift everything from bloating to energy to skin clarity.
