The Gallbladder Course · Coming August 2026
Had your gallbladder removed and still suffering?
Finally… there’s an explanation for why life is so different after gallbladder surgery — and a clear, structured plan to get your digestion — and your life — back in balance.
A powerful, self-paced online video course — six modules designed to be worked through in your own time, from anywhere.
Join the Waitlist Now →You were told the surgery would fix it. And as far as the big, scary, acute issues you were dealing with are concerned, it did. So… you went home, recovered, and waited to feel like yourself again.
And you’re still waiting.
Because now you have an entirely new list of issues you had no idea you’d be facing. The fatigue that doesn’t respond to rest. The weight that won’t move no matter what you eat or how hard you exercise. The brain fog, the digestive unpredictability, the hormonal shifts nobody connected to your gallbladder. Your labs look fine. Your doctor says you’re recovered.
Thankfully you’re not having episodes that send you to the ER anymore, but you know something is still way off. And you’re right.
There’s a reason nobody explained it to you. Because in all likelihood, they just didn’t know what to tell you. They’re doctors — they’re supposed to know all this stuff, right? Well, turns out they’re human, and they just don’t, because they were never trained on it. While I was in the recovery room following my procedure, I asked the surgeon what I should do now. And he said, ‘Avoid fats. I hear Trader Joe’s has some decent papaya enzymes you could try.’ That’s verbatim. And all too common.
So here’s the deal. When your gallbladder was removed, the immediate crisis was resolved — but after your immediate recovery, the consequences became all too clear. Without concentrated, regulated bile, your body can’t properly digest fat, absorb essential vitamins, or maintain the metabolic signaling your cells depend on. These are significant changes. What follows is a predictable chain of events — beginning in your digestion and progressing to impact your energy, your weight, your hormones, your mood, and your mental clarity.
I know this chain all too well. I’ve been through it myself. It’s actually what started me down the path to becoming the Functional Nutritionist I am today. Eventually I identified it, named it — The Cholecystectomy Cascade — and built this course to walk you through it. Clearly. Without overwhelm. With a structured, manageable protocol on the other side.
This changed everything for me… and it can for you.
1M+
Procedures per year
More than one million gallbladders are removed in the United States alone every year, making cholecystectomy one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the country.
Up to 40%
Experience persistent symptoms
Up to 40% of patients experience symptoms after surgery that are significant enough to disrupt their daily lives — symptoms their doctors often can’t explain.
A majority are female
Women are disproportionately affected
Women undergo this procedure at significantly higher rates than men — and experience persistent symptoms afterward at higher rates too.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with
01
The real story on your gallbladder
A clear overview of why your gallbladder was never a bench player — and what your body actually lost when it came out.
02
A complete understanding of what happened
What actually changed after surgery — in plain language, without a medical degree required.
03
A root-cause framework
The Clarity Method — the framework that connects every symptom you’ve been told is unrelated.
04
A phased dietary and supplement protocol
Built specifically for post-cholecystectomy recovery — sequenced in the right order, for the right reasons.
05
The Clarity Method Guide
A downloadable companion reference you’ll use for years — Go Deeper links from every lesson included.
06
Clarity. Finally.
A path forward that actually makes sense of what your body has been going through — and what to do next.
What’s Inside
Six modules. A complete picture. A clear path to relief.
Module 1
What Actually Happened
Why the surgery fixed the crisis but not the consequences — and what your body has been navigating ever since.
Module 2
Your New Digestive Reality
How digestion actually works without a gallbladder, why fat absorption changed, and what your body is missing.
Module 3
Making Sense of Persistent Symptoms
The full picture — digestive symptoms, weight, hormones, brain fog, skin, mood — connected and explained for the first time.
Module 4
Eating Without Fear
The dietary framework that works post-surgery. What to eat, what to avoid, and why everything you were told about fat was wrong.
Module 5
The Support Protocol
A phased supplement protocol targeting each step in the Cholecystectomy Cascade — in the right sequence, for the right reasons.
Module 6
The Long Game
Nervous system, movement, monitoring progress, and what a recovered life actually looks like.
This course is for...
Anyone who's had their gallbladder removed and still struggles with challenging symptoms that disrupt their life. Anyone who wants to finally understand why...and what to do about it.
That includes people who are still searching for answers years after surgery, people whose labs keep coming back “normal” while their symptoms say otherwise, and people who’ve been told it’s stress, aging, or something they just have to live with.
It also includes the spouses, partners, siblings, and friends who watch someone they love struggling after surgery and want to understand what’s actually happening — and how to help.
Post-cholecystectomy patients are a much larger and much more underserved group than most people realize.
You are not alone, and you are not imagining it.
