The Gallbladder & Menopause: Why This “Forgotten” Organ Matters

Episode 91Most of us don’t give the gallbladder a second thought — until it becomes a problem. But this small organ has a big role to play in women’s health, especially during perimenopause and menopause.In this episode, I dive into the hidden connection between the gallbladder, bile flow, and hormone balance. You’ll learn why bile isn’t just for digestion, how sluggish clearance can fuel estrogen dominance, and the early warning signs your gallbladder may be struggling — before it becomes an emergency. I also unpack why gallbladder removal rates have skyrocketed in the UK, what life looks like after surgery, and, most importantly, how you can support gallbladder and liver health naturally.If you’re navigating hormone changes in midlife, this episode will give you fresh insight into an organ that’s anything but irrelevant.Got a question or comment?
