292: Seeing Clearly: How Your Liver & Gallbladder Influence Eyesight May 10, 2024

The correlation between the function of the gallbladder and liver and its effect on eyesight is explored in this podcast episode. The liver and gallbladder play a crucial role in the production of bile, which helps with fat metabolism and the transportation of estrogens. The eyes are heavily dependent on porphyrins, which are produced in the liver and bone marrow. Poor eyesight can be caused by staying up too late, having excess infections in the liver and gallbladder, and not consuming the proper nutrients for eye health. Structural issues in the upper neck can also affect eyesight. Emotional factors such as resentment, anger, and frustration can impact the liver and gallbladder and subsequently affect eyesight. The podcast provides recommendations for improving eyesight, including taking specific nutrients, cleansing the liver and gallbladder, and addressing emotional traumas.

Takeaways

The liver and gallbladder play a crucial role in eyesight by producing bile and porphyrins.
Staying up too late, having infections in the liver and gallbladder, and not consuming the proper nutrients can negatively impact eyesight.
