Digestion & your daily routine

Why Does the Same Dinner Feel Heavier at 55 Than It Did at 40?

If dinner leaves you feeling bloated, there’s more to digestion than your stomach. Your liver makes bile to help digest the fat in a meal. Here’s how that connection works.

Your Liver Helps Digest Dinner, Even Though Food Never Passes Through It.

Dinner may be finished, but when you still feel full and bloated, it can be hard to turn your attention back to the evening. You might think first of your stomach, even though your liver also has an important role in digestion.

Although food never passes through your liver, the bile it makes travels to your small intestine, where it helps your body digest the fat in your meal.

Your Liver Makes Bile to Help Your Body Digest Fat.

If you’re over 50 and the same dinner feels heavier than it used to, it helps to understand what happens after you eat. Your liver makes bile, and your gallbladder stores it until it is needed. When bile is released into the small intestine, it separates fat into smaller droplets, giving digestive enzymes more surface to work on.

The way your body makes and uses bile can change as you get older. That is one reason to look beyond your stomach when considering digestive support.

Livingood Daily Liver + Gallbladder pairs ox bile with digestive enzymes, bringing support for fat digestion into a supplement you can take every day.†

Once Bile Separates the Fat, Lipase Helps Break It Down.

Bile separates the fat you eat into smaller droplets, but that fat still needs to be broken down before your body can absorb it. Lipase is the digestive enzyme that helps with this next step, turning fat into smaller components your body can use.

As you get older, especially after 50, your pancreas may become less efficient at producing digestive enzymes like lipase. With less help breaking down fat, a meal you once enjoyed easily may start to feel heavier.

“Just my age”, “My tests were normal” - Neither Explains the Bloating.

“Just my age?”

Bile production and digestive enzyme output can change as you get older. That makes it worth considering how you support digestion, rather than assuming that feeling uncomfortable after meals is simply something you have to accept.

“But my checkup was normal.”

Normal test results can be reassuring, but they may not explain why you still feel bloated after meals. If that feeling keeps returning, your healthcare professional can help you work out what to check next.

Your healthcare professional can also help you decide whether a digestive supplement is appropriate for you. Livingood Daily Liver + Gallbladder combines ox bile and digestive enzymes, including lipase, to support fat digestion, with artichoke leaf and black radish for additional liver support.†

“I started this product to help with digesting my food. Listening to Dr Livingood one day he mentioned those without a gall bladder would benefit from taking this product. I take it twice a day with meals. It has made so much of a difference. The discomfort after eating is gone and my food is being digested properly. This is several of the DLG supplements on a 30-day subscription.”

A Few Questions Before You Decide.

Why consider this if I already watch what I eat?

Choosing your food carefully is one part of the picture. Digesting it is another. This formula combines ox bile with digestive enzymes, including lipase, to support fat digestion, giving you a way to support the digestive process alongside your everyday food choices.†

How do I take it?

The published directions for monthly support are two capsules daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

What does ox bile do in the formula?

Ox bile is included alongside digestive enzymes as part of the formula’s support for fat digestion.† It is an animal-derived ingredient.

When should I expect a difference?

Look for the difference that matters in your day: feeling less bloated after a familiar meal, spending less of the evening noticing your stomach, or feeling more comfortable sitting at the table. As you use your first bottle, pay attention to those moments across several meals, rather than judging everything by one dinner. Those are the changes to look for as you decide whether this routine is helping you.

Can I change my subscription?

You can skip, change or cancel. Choose the available delivery interval that fits your routine.
