so today we’re gonna talk about vitamin D bile and your gallbladder and an

interesting connection now vitamin D is probably one of the most important

vitamins yet it is one of the most common vitamin deficiencies on this

planet vitamin D has a lot to do with bone growth if you’re deficient as an

infant you could develop scoliosis kyphosis which is hunchback flat feet

all sorts of structural problems and sleep disorders blood sugar problems

immune problems inflammatory conditions specifically like arthritis rheumatoid

arthritis and all the autoimmune diseases vitamin D is involved in

cardiovascular problems especially high blood pressure

one simple remedy to draw blood pressures to take enough vitamin D you

would want about thirty to forty thousand IU’s per day your brain needs

vitamin D to work now in your mind you might think you’re getting enough

vitamin D from your diet which it’s almost impossible to achieve now vitamin

D is present in fish fatty fish maybe a little bit in mushrooms cod liver oil

and a few other foods but it is almost impossible to get your vitamin D from

your diet now son we can definitely get vitamin D

but if you’re older if you have certain health problems like diabetes or your

skin is a little bit darker you’re gonna need a lot more Sun to achieve your

requirements for vitamin D then what you do in the winter well you would take

supplements but what I want to talk about is number three absorption of

vitamin D there are other nutrients that help absorb vitamin D like magnesium b6

and even vitamin k2 but if you have malabsorption you’re gonna have a very

difficult time absorbing vitamin D so the inside of the colon is damaged from

maybe years of antibiotics or junk food that alone is going to make you

deficient if you have some type of inflammatory condition you’re gonna have

huge barrier up holding in that vitamin D but the other thing I want to mention

is the gallbladder normally your liver makes bile and it

flows down and gets stored into the gallbladder

so the gallbladder concentrates bile the bile is necessary to act as a detergent

to help you extract fat soluble vitamins from your food without a gallbladder

you’re gonna have a difficult time absorbing vitamin D from the diet or if

there’s gall stones or if there’s a lack of bile itself you’re not gonna be able

to absorb vitamin D efficiently and that could come from many things including a

fatty liver which a lot of people have then we have B which is viral infections

certain viruses have a strategy of downgrading the vitamin D receptor the

VDR apparently they are very intelligent and they know that we need

vitamin D desperately to make sure our immune system works but what they do is

they start downgrading this receptor so now the vitamin D can’t get absorbed

cortisol which comes from stress and certain medications as in prednisone

cortisol cream can block the vitamin D receptor too so that’s another barrier

then we have something called polymorphism now what is that that is a

mutation or an alteration in the gene that is part of this receptor so now

that you know the barriers let’s talk about some solutions but I want to

actually teach you a new word we know that VDR stands for vitamin D receptor

but the word agonist it’s something that connects that makes everything work and

the opposite of an agonist would be an antagonist okay something that would

block the function what would be a vdr agonist well vitamin D in higher amounts

so when you take higher amounts I’m talking 30 40 50 60 70 thousand IU’s of

vitamin D that can sometimes override this problem right here

even this problem right here if there’s a problem with a downgraded receptor or

some blockage sometimes you just need to take more next one is benicar this is

a medication which I’m not recommending but there’s an interesting protocol

called the Marshall protocol I’ll put a link down below in which they’re using

this medication which is a medication they used for blood pressure to help the

absorption of vitamin D to help treat autoimmune disorders and of course my

viewpoint is this is there some alternative to medication that can be

used as a vdr agonist well guess what we’ll do it bile salts bile salts are a

natural vdr agonist so bile salts will help the absorption of vitamin D and I

will put a link down below so anytime you’re dealing with inflammatory

conditions or very resistant conditions that you know will respond to vitamin D

but there’s some type of barrier you can also add some purified bile salts to

enhance the absorption simply because bile can act as a VDR agonist thanks for

watching

Hey were back with another amazing recipe no grains

no sugar totally keto there’s no suffering on keto absolutely not Karen and
