About this listen
If you’ve ever felt pain under your right rib cage, nausea after eating fats, or bloating that doesn’t make sense—this episode is for you.
In this episode of the Thyroid Strong Podcast, Dr. Emily Kiberd dives into one of the most overlooked issues affecting women with Hashimoto’s: gallbladder dysfunction. She shares her personal story of gallbladder attacks starting in her early 20s, why she refused surgery, and how addressing the true root causes finally resolved her symptoms.
You’ll learn why gallbladder pain isn’t “just digestion” — and how poor bile flow, low stomach acid, estrogen dominance, mold exposure, and even parasites can quietly sabotage your thyroid, hormones, and fat metabolism.
If you’ve been told your only option is gallbladder removal… this episode may completely change how you see your symptoms.
In this episode, we cover:- 00:11 — Why gallbladder pain is often missed or misdiagnosed in Hashimoto’s
- 00:37 — Dr. Kiberd’s personal gallbladder story (starting at age 21)
- 01:31 — What the gallbladder actually does (and why you need it)
- 02:49 — The thyroid–bile–gallbladder connection explained simply
- 03:32 — Key symptoms to watch for (right rib pain, nausea, floating stools)
- 05:00 — Why gallbladder pain is a signal, not a diagnosis
- 05:45 — Why gallbladder removal often doesn’t fix the real problem
- 06:20 — How poor bile flow impacts hormones, detox, and inflammation
- 07:10 — Root causes surgeons don’t talk about (mold, parasites, estrogen)
- 08:10 — Labs and imaging that can point to gallbladder dysfunction
- 09:00 — How Dr. Kiberd approaches gallbladder issues in her 1:1 practice
- 10:00 — Supporting bile flow, digestion, and fat tolerance safely
- 10:44 — Final takeaways + next steps for Hashimoto’s healing
