#563: Bad Medicine: Why Your Gallbladder Isn’t Disposable & How to Thrive With or Without It

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared explores why gallbladder removal has become one of the most common surgeries in America—and why it may not be the best solution. Too often, modern medicine treats the gallbladder as disposable, removing it without addressing the real root causes of bile problems, gallstones, or digestive distress. Jared breaks down what the gallbladder does, why it matters for digestion, nutrient absorption, and detoxification, and how stress, diet, and liver health all play a role in gallbladder function. You’ll learn practical strategies to protect and support your gallbladder naturally, as well as tools for those already living without one. From lifestyle changes and mindful eating to supplements like digestive enzymes, ox bile, apple cider vinegar, bitters, and liver support nutrients, Jared highlights effective ways to restore balance to digestion and keep your bile flowing smoothly. Whether you still have your gallbladder or not, this episode will give you the insight and confidence to take better care of your digestive health.
