TRANSCRIPT:

The gallbladder stores the digestive enzymes that help break down dietary fat. Because many people have obediently cut down on the fat in their diet to supposedly improve their health, the gallbladder stops functioning properly leading some people to have it taken out.

So how can you eat a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet if your gallbladder has been removed? It’s more challenging, but not impossible. Taking digestive enzymes and bile salts while slowly raising the amount of fat in the diet is a prudent strategy for easing into keto. Before long, you will find it easier to consume the higher fat levels that are necessary to be in nutritional ketosis.
