EPISODE # 12

The Connection between Methylation, Gallbladder Health & Histamine with Nutritionist Olivia Hass

Exploring the Crucial Role of the Gallbladder and Detox Pathways with Nutritionist, Olivia Haas

In this episode of the Histamine Well podcast, Joanne dives into the connection between methylation, detoxification, and gallbladder health. Joined by nutritionist Olivia Haas, they discuss how impaired methylation affects bile flow, leading to gallbladder dysfunction and increased histamines. 

Olivia explains the essential role of the gallbladder in digestion, detoxification, and overall health. They cover early warning signs of gallbladder issues, appropriate testing, and the interplay between estrogen dominance, mold, and oxalate sensitivities. Practical recommendations for dietary and supplement support for gallbladder and liver health, both pre- and post-surgery, are also discussed. 

Olivia also speaks about her specialized programs and memberships designed to assist patients with gallbladder concerns. 

This episode is packed with insights and actionable advice for both practitioners and patients.

These are often instances where taking antibiotics to get rid of SIBO can be a really good idea. Because if you are struggling with multiple food intolerances, then you’re actually not getting the nutrients you need for your liver health.

And it’s very, very stressful. So I find sometimes, just doing a round of the Rifaximin to get rid of the SIBO. And start with a clean slate and a healthier liver and gallbladder can often be what’s warranted for some patients because the diet is hard. It’s very, very restrictive. And then we’re causing massive issues with nutrient deficiencies.

So if you’re a listener, sometimes there are circumstances where allopathy can really help you alongside natural medicine with getting the best outcome.

 

Stay well,

Joanne Kennedy
