Digestion, Liver, and Gallbladder

Enjoy a tasty meal and know your body is using it efficiently. Your liver can be your best ally — but can cause a lot of trouble. Sometimes digestion will act up even when you are eating the foods your bodies should do well with. Hormonal regulation and other stressors in your systems can influence how you digest the food you eat.

Dietary choices and metabolic imbalances play a significant role in the development of many health problems. Indigestion, reflux, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), gallstones and other digestive conditions are common illnesses affecting a large proportion of the population. Burdened liver function also contributes to inadequate or faulty hormone metabolism resulting in irritability, anger, menstrual disorders, and migraines. Poor quality fats, environmental toxins, such as pesticide and fertilizer residues in foods, as well as conventional drug therapies, put demands on liver function and detoxification pathways. Insufficient production of digestive enzymes, inappropriate stomach acid levels, imbalanced bile salts, and disturbed gut ecology all contribute to digestive disturbances. Restoring blood flow and regulatory balance in the liver and gallbladder is fundamental to digestive health, overall vitality and prevention of disease.
