Gallbladder Symptoms and Weight Problems | A Common Factor

Do you struggle with your weight? Do you have digestive symptoms? The two could be connected. Find out why and how Functional Nutrition can help you to turn it all around.

 

Research shows that people who are overweight, especially women, are at higher risk for gallbladder symptoms. Dr. Oz has also pointed out that being overweight is key risk factor for gallbladder symptoms.

 

Often, researchers are focused on gallstones, but there is another common reason that people suffer from gallbladder symptoms that most doctors don’t yet recognize. Thickened bile in the gallbladder can cause many of the same symptoms as gallstones, but may just feel like indigestion.

 

So what’s the connection between being overweight and gallbladder symptoms? Research has yet to show for certain, but stress is a common factor with both problems. The stress hormone cortisol sends a message to the body to store fat, especially around the midsection. Stress hormones also tell the body to send blood away from the digestive system, slowing down the digestive process and burdening the gallbladder.

 

To make the picture more complicated, once cortisol levels in the body get out of balance they can be hard to bring back to healthy levels. Using specialized lab tests, practitioners of Functional Nutrition can help you find out where your levels are at and give you an individually targeted program of supplements and other natural solutions to bring those levels back into balance.

 

Dr. Marina Rose of Los Altos, CA has helped people in the San Francisco region and across the country who were struggling with gallbladder symptoms  and weight issues to bring their body’s stress response back into balance.
