Unique catches up with her client Nicole, a 57-year-old physiotherapist from South Australia who successfully healed her gallbladder, reversed severe fatty liver, eliminated pancreatitis, cured chronic eczema, and resolved metabolic syndrome using the Bean Protocol—all without surgery or medication. Huzzah!Key Discussion HighlightsThe Turnaround Moment: After ending up in the ER with a blocked bile duct and being scheduled for gallbladder removal, Nicole chose to discharge herself and find a root-cause solution.Reversing "Irreversible" Conditions: Bloodwork and scans confirmed her fatty liver was gone in 6 months, her metabolic syndrome/pre-diabetes reversed, and her severe foot eczema disappeared in 3 months.The Role of Fiber & Soluble Beans: How dedicated soluble fiber intake binds to bile, clears toxins, lowers cholesterol (Nicole's dropped from 7.2 to 3.6), and supports liver detoxification.Overcoming Coffee Dependency: Nicole details her journey off coffee (a staple during her 8-year battle with chronic/adrenal fatigue) and how breaking caffeine addiction restored her baseline daily energy.Active Aging & Muscle Building: Nicole shares how she built 2 kg of lean muscle mass in her late 50s through resistance training and cycling, debunking age-related decline myths.Practical Travel Hacks: How Nicole dehydrates her own home-cooked bean stews and packs freeze-dried chicken breast to stick to her health boundaries while traveling or camping.Links & Resources Mentioned:Unique's 12-Week women's Fiber healing group w/ Karen Hurd.

Five signs of fatty liver that are easy to miss, because they look like ordinary life. Nurse Doza walks through low energy, weight around the midsection, a fast-food pattern, hormone symptoms, and gallbladder issues, and explains what each one suggests about the liver underneath. Plus the two labs worth asking your provider about, the foods that ease the load, and where to start. Nothing here is a diagnosis. Featured Product Liver Boost (Detox) — $111 Liver Boost is a comprehensive formula designed to support phase I and phase II liver detoxification, with nutrients that support your antioxidant systems and glutathione production. If this episode had you thinking about how much your liver handles in a day — fats, blood sugar, and everything your body needs to clear out — this is the formula built to support that work while you make the diet and lifestyle changes that move the needle. It is not a replacement for those changes.

This isn't an anti-GLP-1 episode. It's an anti-“here's your injection, see you in six months” episode. In this episode of Root Cause Radio, we break down how GLP-1 medications work, including semaglutide, the dual GLP-1/GIP agonist tirzepatide, and the investigational triple agonist retatrutide. We explain how these medications truly work (and how some may work better than others), and how they influence appetite, fullness, blood sugar, gastric emptying, fat metabolism, and energy expenditure.We also explore the parts of GLP-1 use that are too often ignored:• Undereating, nutrient deficiencies, and inadequate protein intake• Muscle loss and changes in body composition• Nausea, constipation, reflux, bloating, and impaired gut motility• Potential consequences for women's hormones, menstrual cycles, and fertility• Gallbladder, pancreatic, kidney, and dehydration concerns• Reduced pleasure, motivation, and possible anhedonia• Metabolic adaptation and weight regain after stopping• The emerging conversation around low-dose or “microdosed” GLP-1 use for conditions such as endometriosis, MCAS, and autoimmune diseaseMost importantly, we discuss what responsible GLP-1 care should actually look like: adequate calories and protein, resistance training, micronutrient monitoring, proactive GI support, individualized dosing, body-composition assessment, and a transition plan that begins before the medication is stopped.GLP-1 medications can be valuable tools- let's know what they really do, how they work, and how do use them responsibly.

What can you actually do to support gallbladder health—before or after gallbladder removal?In Part 3 of our Gallbladder Series, we move from theory into practice. After exploring the relationship between the gallbladder, microbiome, hormones, and bile acids in Parts 1 and 2, we discuss the clinical tools, supplements, dietary strategies, and testing considerations we use to support patients with gallbladder dysfunction, bile acid disorders, and post-cholecystectomy symptoms. We explore why some patients continue to struggle with digestive symptoms long after gallbladder removal, how hormone fluctuations impact bile flow, and why supporting the microbiome may be one of the most overlooked pieces of gallbladder care.Whether you're dealing with gallstones, bile acid diarrhea, digestive symptoms after surgery, or simply want to better understand how to support healthy bile flow, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.✔ Conventional approaches to gallbladder disease and gallbladder removal✔ Why removing the gallbladder doesn't always solve the entire problem✔ The long-term microbiome consequences of cholecystectomy✔ The connection between gallbladder function, metabolism, and insulin resistance✔ Taurine and glycine for bile acid conjugation and bile production✔ Bitter herbs and how they support bile flow and gallbladder function✔ Dandelion, gentian, chicory, and other classic digestive bitters✔ Phosphatidylcholine, lecithin, and cholesterol balance within bile✔ Choline supplementation and gallbladder support✔ Magnesium and gallbladder motility✔ Ox bile, TUDCA, UDCA, and digestive enzyme support✔ Psyllium fiber and bile acid regulation✔ Butyrate and microbiome support after gallbladder removal✔ The estrogen–microbiome–gallbladder connection✔ DIM and calcium-d-glucarate for estrogen metabolism✔ NAC, milk thistle, and liver support✔ Hormone replacement therapy considerations in patients with gallbladder disease✔ Functional testing options for patients with gallbladder concerns✔ How these concepts have changed our clinical approach to patient care✔ Gallbladder removal may be necessary, but it should also prompt a deeper look at why gallbladder dysfunction developed in the first place.✔ Taurine, glycine, bitters, magnesium, and phosphatidylcholine can all play important roles in supporting bile production and flow.✔ The microbiome is central to bile acid metabolism and should be considered in patients with ongoing digestive symptoms.✔ DIM and calcium-d-glucarate may help support healthy estrogen metabolism and reduce gallbladder stress in susceptible individuals.✔ Post-cholecystectomy patients may benefit from additional support for digestion, microbiome balance, fat-soluble vitamins, and bile acid regulation.✔ Hormones, bile acids, the liver, and the microbiome are deeply interconnected systems that influence one another in meaningful ways.Part 1: Gallbladder Physiology, Bile Acids & The MicrobiomePart 2: The Estrogen–Gallbladder Connection: Hormones, Menopause & Bile AcidsPart 3: Practical Strategies for Supporting Gallbladder Health Before and After SurgeryMusic provided by Blue Dot.

Can you heal your gallbladder instead of removing it? Maybe. In this episode I break down what's really behind gallstones, gallbladder sludge, and gallbladder pain, and what you can actually do before surgery. I'm Dr. E, the NP with the PhD. Most people get told "you have stones, let's take it out" and that's the whole conversation. Nobody asks why the gallstones formed, or what happens to your digestion after gallbladder removal. That's what we're fixing here. We cover: What causes gallbladder sludge and gallstones Why gallbladder attacks and biliary colic happen The root causes doctors skip: insulin resistance, thyroid, hormones, bad bile What gallbladder removal actually does to your body When you truly do need surgery Already having symptoms? Get checked by your GI first. If you're in wait-and-see mode, you deserve to ask the deeper questions. Welcome to The Medical Disruptor, where smart humans get answers they won't hear anywhere else.

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:

Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!“You don't need it” is one of the most casually dismissive sentences in modern wellness. Gallbladder removal and uterus removal are common surgeries, yet many people notice real shifts afterward and they're left trying to understand what changed and why.In Part 1 of this two‑episode series, I break down what the gallbladder and uterus actually do, how to keep them healthy, what can shift after removal, and how to support your wellness with clarity instead of confusion.Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy):• what the gallbladder does: bile timing, fat digestion, fat‑soluble vitamins• why gallbladders fail: rapid weight loss, low‑fat dieting, estrogen shifts, insulin resistance, genetics, GLP‑1 meds (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro)• common symptoms after gallbladder removal: bloating, diarrhea, urgency, fat intolerance• microbiome changes and nutrient absorption• myths people hear after surgery• practical supports: bitter greens, hydration, magnesium, digestive enzymes with lipase + ox bileUterus Removal (Hysterectomy):• why the uterus is far more than a reproductive organ• pelvic nerves, ovarian blood flow, libido inputs• hormone shifts after uterus removal• progesterone myths, estrogen dominance, painful periods that deserve investigation• emotional and somatic changes some women experience after hysterectomy• how to advocate for hormone testing, gut support, and nervous system regulationIf you've already had gallbladder removal or uterus removal, this episode gives you language, options, and a grounded understanding of what your body may need moving forward.Next week in Part 2: Appendix and Tonsils - what they do, why they matter, and what can shift when they're gone.If this episode helps you, subsJoin here: Sandy K Inner Circle Join me here: Sandy K Inner CircleSupport the showJoin The Sandy K Inner Circle -- my private women-only subscription community where we go deeper than the podcast ever could.Every month you get:A live Q&A with Sandy on ZoomAn exclusive podcast episode nobody else hearsA practical curated downloadAccess to our private women-only Facebook community for wide open discussions on all topicsNo agendas.

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!

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

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!
