Hey, this is Amanda, women's health dietitian. And I'm Emily, nutritional therapy practitioner.

And this is the RU menstrual podcast, where we help you navigate the confusing world of women's hormones and teach you how to have healthy periods.

Each week, we will be diving into a different topic on women's health and sharing our perspective using nutrition, female physiology, and metabolic health.

Our goal is to help you wait through conflicting health information and empower you on your healing journey. We hope you

enjoy it. In this episode, we are focusing on the gallbladder and how not only can it impact your hormones,

but how hormonal changes can impact your gallbladder function as well. And honestly,

You'll learn a lot. So make sure you check her out. Olivia is a board certified nutritionist

specializing in all things gallbladder health. Her personal journey with digestive issues,

hypothyroidism, and gallbladder disease is what led her to start her private practice,

helping individuals who are trying to keep their gallbladder

or people struggling with digestive issues after gallbladder surgery. So do you want to talk a

little bit about your own health journey, Olivia, and like how you got into helping clients

with all this? Yeah. And thank you so much for having me and letting me spread education on gallbladder

health. It is a big passion in mine and I think a lot of people need to learn more about it and then
