Exercise and Diet to Prevent Liver and Heart Disease After Gallbladder Surgery

This trial is testing whether a structured 12-month lifestyle program can help prevent serious liver and heart diseases in people with gallstones or a history of gallbladder removal. The program combines supervised exercise sessions (designed to build muscle and strength) with a special anti-inflammatory diet rich in fiber and legumes, along with better sleep habits and fasting periods. Researchers want to see if this approach can reduce your risk of developing fatty liver disease and cardiovascular problems, which people in your situation face at higher rates.

People who have gallstones or have had their gallbladder removed are at higher risk of developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and heart disease, especially men. Current standard care doesn't always prevent these complications, so this trial is testing whether a personalized, intensive lifestyle intervention can better protect your health.
