Why So Many People Lose Their Gallbladder and How To Keep Yours!!!

Is your gallbladder really optional? Modern medicine may treat it that way—but your DNA tells a different story.

At We Care Wellness Center, we’re passionate about helping people get to the root of their health struggles, not just treating symptoms. One organ that’s often overlooked—or even removed without fully understanding its role—is the gallbladder.

If you still have yours, consider this your sign to protect it. And if you’ve already had it removed, don’t worry—there’s still plenty you can do to support fat absorption, digestion, and long-term vitality.

Let’s unpack why your gallbladder matters—and how genetic testing can help you keep it healthy for years to come.

🧠 What the Gallbladder Actually Does

The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile, which your liver produces to break down dietary fats. When you eat fats, bile is released to emulsify them so your body can absorb key nutrients like:

•Omega-3 fatty acids

•Vitamins A, D, E, and K

•Cholesterol-based hormones

•Nutrients vital for brain, skin, and joint health

If your bile becomes too thick—or if you don’t produce enough—you may experience:

•Poor fat digestion

•Joint stiffness

•Premature skin aging

•Brain fog or mood changes

•Nutrient deficiencies

🧬 How Your Genes Affect Gallbladder Health

Your gallbladder problems might not be from your dinner plate alone. Some people are genetically predisposed to gallbladder dysfunction. That’s where our DNA testing can help.

Here are a few key genes that matter:

1. PEMT

This gene helps convert nutrients into phosphatidylcholine, a major component of healthy bile. If you have a variant here, your bile may be too thick—leading to stones or sludgy bile.

2. AAT

This gene helps convert cholesterol into bile. If it’s underactive, you may not produce enough bile—leading to cholesterol buildup and gallbladder dysfunction.

3. COMT

Helps detoxify estrogen. Poor estrogen clearance thickens bile, further stressing your gallbladder.

By identifying these and other variants, we can recommend precise nutrients and supplements to upregulate those sluggish enzymes and restore balance—often before symptoms even begin.

🥗 Gallbladder-Friendly Living—With or Without the Organ

Whether your gallbladder is working overtime or already gone, DNA testing can still guide your next best step.

If you have your gallbladder and want to keep it:

•Avoid trans fats and processed oils

•Eat organic when possible to limit toxin exposure

•Consider supplements that promote bile flow if your DNA suggests a genetic sluggishness

If you’ve had your gallbladder removed:

•Digestive enzyme support may help

•Choose fish oil and essential fatty acids that are tested for heavy metals

•Know that poor fat absorption can impact everything from immune strength to cognitive clarity

🧪 What Makes Our DNA Testing Different

Other genetic testing companies might tell you what gene you have… but stop short of telling you what to do about it.

Our test, gives you:

✅ A full report of your relevant gene variants

✅ A list of the specific nutrients to support your weak spots

✅ Recommendations for your diet and lifestyle based on your actual DNA

One patient told us that other tests missed her hemochromatosis entirely—and even recommended eating more iron. We don’t make that kind of mistake.
