so here's a question for today why are
95 of your bile salts recycled now i know
you've been thinking about this for a very long time
well i finally created a video just for you
because there's this idea that your gallbladder is unneeded
and bile is something that is highly confused
highly underrated ignored especially when we get into
the gallbladder in fact many doctors will say the gallbladder is unnecessary
well it's only necessary if you'd understand what
it does because that gallbladder concentrates this
bile but the gallbladder concentrates the bile
so it can create the effects that it needs to create
in fact there's six really important things that bile will do
so your body actually recycles bile because it is vitally
necessary and important in fact it recycles it
six to ten times every single day and on top of that your liver makes bile
it's called primary bile salts and your microbiome
makes bile that's called secondary bile salts i'll come back to this
but i'm just trying to increase your awareness on the importance of bile in
your body and how many conditions are connected to
problems with your bile it's quite extensive all right let's
first talk about the six things that bile will do and
there's other things but these are the six
most important things number one it helps you absorb fats
in fact most fats are dependent on bile for the absorption
and if you remove the gallbladder you no longer have the concentration
so you're going to be deficient in bile all right number two it helps you absorb
fat soluble nutrients notice i didn't say vitamins
because fat soluble nutrients not only are the vitamin a
d e k 1 k 2 and also the omega 3 fatty acids which are very very important
as well as the phytonutrients many phytonutrients like all the
carotenoids which is a pre-vitamin a type
phytonutrient it's fat soluble so those things are
dependent on bile like lutein for example is a carotenoid
that helps prevent macular degeneration so there's
just a lot of things that are dependent on this bile
also bio helps prevent sibo small intestinal bacterial
overgrowth we don't want bacteria or very much of it in our small
intestine because if there is friendly bacteria in
your small intestine it will then eat up your nutrients it
competes for nutrients so there'll be less
nutrients going into your a small intestine because the microbes
need them to survive so you're going to be deficient in
nutrients you're going to have a lot of gas
bloating overgrowth of other pathogens unfriendly bacteria
so bile cells have antimicrobial properties so they basically go through
the small intestine kill off the microbes make sure there's
nothing growing in there and then get reabsorbed at the last part
of the small intestine before it goes into the large intestine
and the whole cycle starts again so this is very very important
in preventing this so many people have this so if you eat
especially like fiber or probiotics and you bloat
then chances are you could have sibo number four bile salts help regulate
cholesterol now there's nothing wrong with cholesterol
but there is a type of cholesterol which is the small dense particles
the ldl particles that can invade the vascular system and create damage
so bile just happens to regulate cholesterol so if there's
too much cholesterol consumed or your body makes too much
the excess goes out with the bile without bile
you can't get rid of the excess and cholesterol can then back up into the
skin and you'll see certain conditions like
people will have little cholesterol spots around their eyelids
they need bile salts also bile salts help rid toxins and poisons
heavy metals pesticides very important and bile also helps with your immune
system now if you don't have enough bile or
it's not being recycled because there's liver damage let's see if a fatty liver
or your liver is inflamed or you have cirrhosis or you have some
type of malabsorption issue in the small intestine or the large
and you're deficient in bile here are some things that could happen
cholesterol can go high like i said before it's high cholesterol is not a
problem but it could be a problem if it's the
wrong kind okay number two gallstone formation or sludge
in the bile ducts or the gallbladder which can then
back things up into your liver and cause pain over the right side over here
or right side of the neck right here or shoulder
or right side fibromyalgia or even pancreatitis because you can have sludge
or stone stuck in one of the ducts and create a
lot of pain in your digestive system so um bile salts help keep
things flowing number three low vitamin a this can relate to
all sorts of things related to sinus vision like can't see in the dark
dry eyes blurry vision for immune system vitamin d vitamin d has to do with heart
and it's a very powerful antioxidant and also
it helps fertility and your pituitary as a precursor to making certain hormones
and then vitamin k1 to prevent unnecessary bleeding and k2 to remove
calcium from the wrong places so removing it from the arteries
and the joints and keeping it in the bone low omega-3 fatty acids which is
very common great percentage of population
just does not have enough omega-3 so they have real
heavy on the omega-6 so they'll have all sorts of
inflammatory issues and if you're low on omega-3 you could
increase blood sugar issues and have more problems with insulin resistance
number five you're not going to be satisfied after a
meal so you eat a meal and you're just not satisfied because you don't have the
bile to pull in the fats to go to the brain and
turn off the hunger signals we've already talked about sibo seven
constipation because bile uh kind of lubricates the colon so
without enough bile things get backed up you also need bile
to help convert t4 to t3 so that could be the reason why
you have hypothyroidism something wrong with that conversion and
then you take synthroid or t4 and you wonder why it's not really
working because the problem is this not being converted to t3 which
is the active form and then because bile helps rid toxins
you're not able to detoxify the liver so things back
up and you become very very toxic now one last point i wanted to mention about
primary and secondary bile salts this is might be a new thing for you so i'm
going to try to explain it very simply so what is the difference between
primary and secondary bile well primary is
conjugated this means you're attaching an amino acid
like either taurine or glycine to the bile
to make it more water-soluble so it can move and also be absorbed into your
intestines right what happens when this conjugated
bile goes through the intestines at the very end
part certain microbes take off these amino acids
and then make them insoluble so they're less water soluble
so they can be recycled so you have less absorption
so that's the difference between the primary and secondary
all right thanks for watching before you go if you have a question about a
product or you're new to keto and you want to
know how to begin keto or you're on keto and you need a
debug because it's not going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to
help you this is just for the people in the US
hopefully in the future we'll be able to answer everyone's call
but i put the number down below so you can call
and get some help
