Have you ever considered the link between your gallbladder and energy levels? The gallbladder, although often neglected, significantly influences your daily energy levels and vitality.

I shared this tip in my IG stories and got flooded with DMs so I thought I’d share it here too and further expand on it.First off, know that our gut microbiome is teeming with beneficial and opportunistic microbial species.

Different circumstances call for different probiotics.⚠️For instance, those with...
