Many people with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's are surprised when they begin experiencing symptoms like bloating, constipation, food sensitivities, gallstones, fat intolerance, reflux, or elevated cholesterol. These issues are often treated as separate conditions, but they may all be connected through one important physiological relationship: the connection between thyroid function, bile flow, gallbladder health, and digestion. In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage explains why thyroid physiology influences far more than metabolism. Thyroid hormone signaling affects stomach acid production, digestive enzymes, gut motility, bile production, gallbladder contraction, cholesterol metabolism, microbiome balance, nutrient absorption, and even the integrity of the gut barrier. When thyroid physiology is altered, digestive function often changes along with it. Dr. Balcavage explores the critical role bile plays in digestion and overall health, including how bile acids function as powerful signaling molecules that influence metabolism, inflammation, blood sugar regulation, thyroid hormone activation, microbiome health, and immune function. He also explains why reduced T4-to-T3 conversion can impair bile production, gallbladder emptying, and bile delivery into the small intestine, creating a cascade of digestive and metabolic symptoms. You'll learn why digestive symptoms, gallbladder problems, dysbiosis, leaky gut, and elevated cholesterol are often downstream effects of chronic stress physiology and reduced thyroid signaling rather than isolated problems. Dr. Balcavage also discusses common bile-support strategies including ox bile, TUDCA, phosphatidylcholine, taurine, glycine, choline, magnesium, and bitters, explaining when they may be helpful and why they often serve as temporary management tools rather than long-term solutions. Most importantly, this episode highlights why addressing the underlying causes of reduced thyroid signaling and chronic physiologic strain is essential for lasting recovery. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why people with thyroid problems commonly develop gut, bile, and gallbladder issues The important role bile plays beyond fat digestion How bile acids influence metabolism, inflammation, microbiome balance, and thyroid hormone activation Why reduced T4-to-T3 conversion can impair bile production and bile flow The connection between hypothyroidism, elevated cholesterol, and gallbladder dysfunction How altered bile flow contributes to bloating, constipation, food sensitivities, dysbiosis, and leaky gut Why digestive symptoms are often adaptive responses to physiologic stress The relationship between chronic stress, reduced thyroid signaling, and digestive dysfunction When bile-support supplements like ox bile, TUDCA, taurine, glycine, choline, and phosphatidylcholine may be beneficial Why symptom management alone often fails to create long-term improvement The key factors that may be driving reduced thyroid signaling and digestive dysfunction beneath the surface Resources Mentioned:

What causes gallstones, and can you get rid of gallstones without surgery? Uncover the real cause of gallstones and gallbladder problems so you can address the issue at the root. 0:00 Introduction: What causes gallstones?1:02 Gallbladder function2:41 Gallstone causes 3:37 Bile salts deficiency4:25 The real cause of gallstones 5:31 How to dissolve gallstones and bile sludge 7:21 Estrogen and gallstones8:39 Nutrients to support gallbladder health10:11 Hypothyroidism and gallstones 10:26 Gallbladder pain relief Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07Every year, 700,000 people have their gallbladder removed. Many people still deal with the same symptoms or worse after surgery.The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile, releasing it when needed. Bile is essential for breaking down fats and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins.Gallstones form when there's too much cholesterol and not enough bile salts. Bile sludge typically develops first, eventually leading to gallstones. The real cause of gallstones is not producing enough bile to handle cholesterol.When the gallbladder is removed, you lose the ability to store and concentrate bile. Some people even experience too much bile flow afterward, which can lead to diarrhea.Dietary fat does not cause gallstones! Low-fat diets are the single greatest triggers of gallstones. Fat actually stimulates bile production.The real problem is sugar and hidden sugars. High-carb diets increase cholesterol while reducing bile production, raising the risk of gallstones. This is why prediabetics and diabetics are more likely to develop gallstones.Bile salts can help thin bile sludge and may even support the breakdown of gallstones. TUDCA is especially effective for thinning bile in the ducts, particularly in cases linked to right shoulder pain. Taking bile salts right after eating can also support fat digestion and bile flow.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

This episode examines what we actually know (and importantly, what we do not know) about diet in relation to gallstones and gallbladder conditions. Much of the public-facing guidance around gallstones focuses on "avoiding fatty foods", yet Dr. Angela Madden explains that this long-standing practice sits on surprisingly weak direct evidence, particularly when judged against the standards typically expected for clinical dietary recommendations. A central theme is the need to separate two distinct questions: dietary factors that influence the risk of developing gallstones (prevention), versus dietary strategies intended to reduce symptoms or complications once gallstones exist (management). While the prevention literature suggests plausible, consistent associations with overall diet quality and lifestyle factors, the specific question of prescribing a low-fat diet to manage symptomatic gallstones lacks robust randomized trial evidence. Dr Angela Madden is a clinical researcher in nutrition and dietetics at the University of Hertfordshire, where she established and led the nutrition and dietetics subject group and now focuses her research on improving nutritional assessment, dietary interventions, and patient-centred outcomes in clinical and public health settings.

Send a textRole of bile acids in cholesterol regulation, digestion & metabolic diseases like diabetes.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Bile acids basics: They enable cholesterol excretion, with about half of bodily cholesterol eliminated this way, and also aid digestion by emulsifying fats to increase enzyme access.Bile production & pathway: Synthesized in liver hepatocytes, bile flows via ducts to the gallbladder for storage or directly to the small intestine; post-meal, cholecystokinin triggers gallbladder contraction for fat emulsification.Regulation of bile acids: Self-regulated to prevent cytotoxicity, as excess can damage cell membranes; insulin and bile acids themselves influence synthesis and transport, with defects in insulin-resistant states.Bile acids in metabolic diseases: Increased synthesis, especially 12-hydroxylated types, occurs in type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, potentially as an adaptation for better nutrient absorption during perceived scarcity.Gallbladder removal & gallstones: Common due to cholesterol supersaturation forming stones; removal eliminates concentration but preserves bile flow, reducing tolerance for high-fat meals.Bariatric surgery impacts: Procedures like gastric bypass increase circulating bile acids without major synthesis changes, while more extreme ones boost synthesis due to impaired intestinal sensing.Cholesterol homeostasis: Cells tightly regulate membrane cholesterol for fluidity and signaling; most bodily cholesterol is synthesized internally, with LDL receptors key to blood levels.Ongoing research: Haeusler's lab explores manganese's role in metabolism, bile acids in liver inflammation, and insulin's effects on lipoproteins.ABOUT THE GUEST: Rebecca Haeusler, PhD is an associate professor at Columbia University in the departments of medicine and pathology and cell biology, affiliated with the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center and the Digestive and Liver Diseases Research Center.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 269 | Soybean Oil: Obesity, Fatty Liver Disease, Gut Health, IBS & Colitis | Frances SladekSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

The scientists--working with researchers at a university in India--identified distinct chemical signatures in blood that could help detect gallbladder cancer. The findings published in the Journal of Proteome Research outline how specific metabolic patterns can distinguish gallbladder cancer cases from benign conditions. The research could potentially lead to a noninvasive screening for the rare disease which is one of the deadliest gastrointestinal cancers, but researchers stress larger studies are needed before the findings can be used clinically.

Gallbladder and bile issues are some of the most common digestive problems in the western world - and with good reason. But you have more control over preventing these problems than you might think -- meaning you don't have to wait for the pain to be so intense that you get your gallbladder removed. (And even then, it might not solve your issues). In today's rebooted show, I'm telling you all about: - what bile's role is in the body - the signs to look for BEFORE gallstones form - why bile is key to more than just fat digestion & absorption - how to improve bile synthesis and flow without medications ... and more!

Over 750,000 gallbladder removal surgeries happen every year in the U.S.—but almost no one talks about what happens next. In this episode of The Health Revival Show, we break down the real consequences of cholecystectomy, including bile acid diarrhea, bile reflux, SIBO, chronic constipation, fatty liver disease, stubborn belly weight, hormone imbalance, and metabolic dysfunction. You’ll learn: Why the gallbladder is NOT the root cause How bile regulates digestion, detoxification, insulin signaling, and immune function The link between gallbladder removal, estrogen shifts, perimenopause, and pregnancy Why IBS after surgery is often misdiagnosed bile dysfunction What to do if you’re dealing with urgent diarrhea, reflux, bloating, or fat intolerance If you’ve had your gallbladder removed—or are considering surgery—this episode could change everything. *** Want to break through your weight loss resistance?

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-05-2026: >ul> Dr. Dawn presents a whimsical "theme park tour" of the upper gastrointestinal tract, from saliva production triggered by sight and smell of food, through the esophageal sphincter's iris-like opening, into the stomach's pH-1 acid bath where parietal cells produce 3,000 mg of hydrochloric acid per meal. She explains protective mechanisms including the bicarbonate layer beneath stomach mucus, H. pylori's role in ulcers, and how H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors work—cautioning about long-term PPI effects on B12 and calcium absorption. The tour continues through the pylorus into the duodenum where pancreatic enzymes and bile converge, then along the 23-foot small intestine with its tennis-court surface area of villi absorbing nutrients, iron in the duodenum, most nutrients in the jejunum, and B12 requiring intrinsic factor in the ileum. Dr. Dawn explains why pancreatic cancer—projected to become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030—is so deadly, using a medieval castle metaphor. The tumor microenvironment acts as an impenetrable moat of desmoplastic stroma made of fibroblasts, collagen, and hyaluronic acid that blocks drugs and immune cells. Over 90% of cases have K-RAS mutations acting as growth accelerators that also thicken this protective barrier and increase CD47 "don't eat me" signals. She discusses emerging treatments including K-RAS inhibitors, PARP inhibitors for BRCA mutations, and combination immunotherapies showing 67% response rates, while noting that CAR T-cell therapy and checkpoint inhibitors alone fail because they cannot penetrate the stroma. Dr. Dawn summarizes Duke researcher Herman Ponzer's work using doubly-labeled water to measure total energy expenditure, revealing that humans burn 20-60% more calories than other great apes when adjusted for body mass. His surprising finding: Hadza hunter-gatherers walking 8-14 kilometers daily burn the same calories as sedentary Americans—the body compensates by reducing energy spent on inflammation and stress responses. This "constrained energy expenditure" model explains why exercise alone doesn't cause weight loss, though it remains crucial for preventing weight gain, reducing disease risk, and potentially tamping down harmful stress responses.

A former competitive athlete came to me barely able to function. He had severe nausea, almost constant stomach pain, a known ulcer, crushing anxiety, and unrelenting fatigue.  After looking at his intake forms, it seemed obvious that his digestive system was screaming for help so I did what any practitioner would do - I started by supporting optimal upper digestion. And everything made him worse.  Bitters? Made him worse. Gallbladder support? Worse. Aloe? Also worse. The PPI worked, then didn't. The DGL helped a little, then stopped. I kept adjusting the protocol, thinking I just needed the right combination. But every change triggered more panic. Every new supplement amplified his symptoms. Then I had a huge realization: his digestive system t wasn't the problem. It was just the microphone, amplifying the symptoms. His nervous system was so completely dysregulated that it couldn't regulate around anything - not food, not supplements, not even safety. And I didn't see it until he was gone. This is the hardest case I've shared in this series - not because the symptoms were complex, but because I had tunnel vision. I was so focused on fixing his upper digestion and gut that I missed the real driver: a nervous system that had completely gone off the rails and could no longer regulate. What You'll Learn: The signs of complete nervous system dysregulation (and why they can be hard to spot) Why the loudest symptom isn't always what needs addressing first How asking patients to track symptoms can backfire badly The difference between stabilizing a patient and trying to fix them (spoiler: some people need 'boring' before they need a protocol) Why post-viral neuroimmune injury is a whole different beast What "creating safety" actually means clinically - and why it's medicine Resources Mentioned: Free download: 6 Principles of Clinical Thinking Learn the "how" of functional medicine inside Clinical Academy Connect with Ronda: Clinical Academy: rondanelson.com/clinicalacademy Free Resource: rondanelson.com/6principles

Send us a textLiving with IBS can slowly take over your life — your food choices, your confidence, and your ability to travel or socialize. For Sarah, it meant extreme food restriction, canceled trips, significant weight loss, and being told by providers that her symptoms were “just stress.”In this episode of the IBS Nutrition Podcast, Sarah shares her honest IBS journey — from being dismissed and not getting the right medical testing, to finally being heard, rebuilding her nutrition, and reclaiming her life.Sarah lived with debilitating abdominal pain, diarrhea up to eight to ten times per day, nausea, vomiting, food fear, and significant weight loss for nearly a year. Despite following restrictive diets, eliminating major food groups, and even undergoing gallbladder removal, her symptoms continued to worsen. In this episode, Sarah shares what finally helped her heal, why IBS recovery is not always fast, and how personalized care and advocacy changed everything.This conversation highlights an often overlooked truth. IBS healing is not linear, and longer recovery timelines are common, especially in severe or complex cases.In This Episode, You'll Learn:✔️ What severe and long standing IBS symptoms can look like✔️ Why extreme food restriction and elimination diets can worsen IBS over time✔️ How lack of proper testing can delay accurate diagnosis and treatment✔️ The role of stress, anxiety, and the gut brain connection in IBS symptoms✔️ Why working with an IBS trained dietitian matters✔️ How structured food journaling and reintroduction rebuild confidence with food✔️ What life looks like after IBS symptoms improve, including eating out and traveling✔️ Sarah's advice for people who feel stuck, dismissed, or afraid to eatTimestamps:[00:00] When Sarah's IBS symptoms began[03:52] Weight loss, malnutrition, and feeling dismissed by providers[06:01] Extreme food restriction and ongoing symptoms[08:01] Why general diet advice was not enough[11:02] Diets tried before joining the program[13:10] Gallbladder removal and unanswered questions[14:12] Missing medical testing and advocating for care[20:43] Stress, journaling, and symptom patterns[26:45] Eating out again and rebuilding confidence[28:10] Travel, volunteering, and life after IBSGet our help:

Mens Room Question: On a scale of 1-10, What's The Worst Pain You've Experienced?

When new people find the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, they ask, "Where do I start?" While we'd love for you to go back to the beginning and take them all in, this is for those who need a quick catch-up. We're doing a Rapid Replay Series of condensed episodes, including the most popular episodes according to streams and downloads, and a few of our team's personal favorites.   In this replay episode of The Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, brings back a historical lecture given by the founder of The Nutritional Therapy Association, Gray Graham. Gray discusses the optimal function of digestion in a way you've never heard it explained. Listen to this, then come back tomorrow to catch the next episode as Gray explains digestive dysfunction.   Optimal digestion is crucial for vitality. It ensures that the body efficiently breaks down food into nutrients, which are then absorbed and utilized for energy, growth, and cellular repair. Proper digestion supports a strong immune system, maintains a healthy gut microbiome, and helps prevent gastrointestinal disorders. Additionally, it plays a significant role in mental health, as the gut is often referred to as the "second brain" due to its impact on mood and cognitive function. Therefore, maintaining optimal digestion is vital for promoting physical and mental health, enhancing quality of life, and preventing chronic diseases. The follow-up to yesterday's explanation of how digestion works when functioning optimally, today's episode continues along the journey of digestion, explaining that if someone is not properly digesting their food, they will not be able to absorb and assimilate the nutrients from the foods they are eating, regardless of how healthful those foods are. Gray walks you through "Digestive Hell" – the myriad of diseases, conditions, and other unpleasantries that arise from a suboptimal digestive system.   Every cell in an organism's tissues, organs, and systems relies on the ability to absorb nutrients from food properly. Factors such as stress, poor eating habits, gallbladder removal, and reduced stomach acid (HCl) levels can hinder digestion. Given the critical role of nutrition in maintaining healthy cells, any disruption in digestion can be harmful in various ways. A dysfunctional digestive system catalyzes a domino effect, impacting the functioning of other bodily systems.   Topics Discussed: – Recap of optimal digestion – Start of digestive dysfunction – "Where's 'Digestive Hell'?" – Distraction, stress, sympathetic state – Pancreatic amylase – Dysbiosis, yeast, pathogens – It's all about acid/pH levels – Macronutrient degradation – Inputs for the production of HCl – Things that cause hypochlorhydria (stress, too much protein, zinc, other nutrient deficiencies, allergies…) – Dr. Jonathan Wright, Heidelberg Test, hypochlorhydria, pH for proper hormone function, and enzymatic action – Pasteur vs. Bechamp / Microorganisms vs. Terraine (Which is to blame?) – H. pylori – Heartburn, acid reflux, GERD, ulcers – Homework/experiment – Incomplete digestion, whole food particles in the small intestine – Gallbladder, bile, fats, cholecystokinin, liver, fat-free or low-fat diet as the cause of gallstones and gallbladder dysfunction, cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) – Burping up fish oil and delayed-release fish oil – Undigested proteins, microvilli, leaky gut/gut permeability, immune dysfunction – Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, healing her autistic child, GAPS Diet – Large intestine/colon, ileocecal valve, dysbiosis, inflammation, diverticulitis, irritable bowel, Crohn's disease, celiac disease/gluten reactivity, hormones/endocrine system, enzymes, heart health, allergies, butyric acid, and foul-smelling feces   ________________________________________ Thanks for listening!

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared welcomes functional medicine dietitian and gut-health expert Lisa Smith for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked systems influencing hormone balance: the estrobolome. If you've never heard that word before, you're not alone — but by the end of this conversation you'll understand why the estrobolome may be the missing link in stubborn hormone symptoms, estrogen dominance, thyroid sluggishness, mood changes, and even men's testosterone challenges. Jared and Lisa break down how gut bacteria influence estrogen detoxification, what beta-glucuronidase is actually doing behind the scenes, why bile flow matters (especially if you don't have a gallbladder), and how fiber, cruciferous vegetables, and targeted nutrients can support healthy hormone metabolism. This is a practical, empowering discussion designed to help you understand root causes rather than chase symptoms. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, PCOS, thyroid issues, mood swings, stubborn weight, or low energy, this episode brings science down to earth with simple, realistic starting points for rebuilding gut balance and restoring hormonal resiliency — naturally and safely.Products:Precision ProbioticLiverVitality EndoCleanseAdditional Information:Pretty Well PodcastInstagramLisa Smith WellnessVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

If you're not losing weight on keto, or you're stuck on a keto plateau, this is for you. Make sure you're not making these common keto diet mistakes... they could be the reason why keto isn't working! 0:00 Introduction: The keto diet is not working for me!0:41 Why I'm not losing weight on keto 5:35 Gallbladder, liver health, and the keto diet 10:03 Vitamin D and keto weight loss problems13:50 Keto diet facts and fictionIn this video, we'll take a look at why some people struggle with weight loss on the keto diet or experience a keto weight loss plateau.To do the keto diet correctly, you must reduce your carb intake to 50 grams or less per day, especially if you're working towards a goal such as weight loss, reducing chronic illness, increasing energy, or improving your health. Avoid these 13 common keto diet mistakes!1. Don't do dirty keto, a low-carb diet that doesn't eliminate unhealthy ingredients. 2. Poor sleep increases blood sugar values to those of a prediabetic. It also increases cortisol levels, inhibits the release of growth hormone, and reduces fat burning.3. Stress raises cortisol levels, which blocks the benefits of keto. 4. Overtraining can stifle weight loss!5. Gallbladder and liver health are vital for fat breakdown and absorption, and critical for proper thyroid function. You won't lose weight on keto until you address these issues first.6. Your thyroid is responsible for metabolism and energy. Focus on iodine, selenium, and zinc intake for a healthy thyroid. 7. Weight loss on keto starts with a healthy gut. Try L. reuteri yogurt to restore gut health and lose weight.8. Not getting enough sun is one of the most common keto weight loss problems. Vitamin D protects you from insulin resistance, and sunlight increases melatonin and serotonin. 9. The more atrophy you have, the less keto will work for weight loss. 10. Make sure you have realistic expectations and an accurate definition of normal. After the initial water weight loss when first starting keto, weight loss will vary from person to person. 11. Pair the keto diet with intermittent fasting. Eliminate snacking and only eat when you're hungry. 12. Avoid cheat day! 13. Lower your dietary fat intake if you're struggling to lose weight on keto. You may have heard rumors that the keto diet is dangerous, but this simply isn't true and is often based on poor research. Some foods labeled as “zero sugar” still contain carbs. Check labels and make sure your keto weight loss plateau isn't caused by hidden sugar consumption!

Book a FREE functional health discovery call HERE.   If you're waking between 1–3 a.m., feeling bloated after meals, struggling with midlife hormone swings, or noticing stubborn inflammation… your liver and gallbladder might be quietly raising their hands. In this foundational episode, Tanya unpacks how these two organs work behind the scenes to regulate digestion, hormones, metabolism, energy, and detoxification — and why midlife is the season when they need more intentional support. You'll learn what the liver really does (beyond “detox”), the powerful connection between bile flow and hormone balance, why TCM associates early-morning wake-ups with liver overload, and how the functional wellness principle Gut → Liver → Detox explains so many mysterious midlife symptoms. This episode delivers deep insight in a simple, practical, and compassionate way — giving you daily habits that support the body God designed you to care for.   I hope this episode blesses you!

This FREE guide shows you how: https://drbrg.co/470t2J6The 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.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
