Gallbladder Flushes Are a Myth

The green stones people pass during a gallbladder cleanse are not gallstones. They’re not magic – they are the result of a chemical reaction that occurs when when olive oil mixes with lemon juice and potassium. Real gallstones are pigmented, round, and built from cholesterol, bilirubin, bile, and calcium.

Dr. Joe Mather breaks down the science behind fake cleanses, then shows a better way to cleanse, a 24-hour fasting lowers blood pressure, boosts gut stem cells, and helps SIBO. The best part is he’ll make fasting easy by sharing tips straight from his clinical practice on the best way to fast.
