so we all know that the gallbladder is not necessary

it’s an extra organ it’s not needed it doesn’t do much

it’s very similar to the appendix just causes pain bloating

in stones right well i severely disagree with that if you go

on google and you type this in there you will see probably the first

five to ten pages of websites and webmd and the authorities that will say

that hey you don’t need a gallbladder it’s okay to remove it

but let’s just take a look at this for a minute what does the gallbladder

do it stores bile what’s the significance

of concentrated bile well there’s something called a bile

cholesterol ratio if there’s low bile

to the amount of cholesterol in the liver or the gallbladder

you develop stones gallstones or liver stones

so bile helps keep that cholesterol from forming

stones and clogging things up because if the bile gets clogged up in the liver it

creates inflammation fibrosis and eventually

scar tissue and cirrhosis so bile is a detergent it makes the fat more

water soluble it makes the fat more absorbable into your small intestines

by removing the gallbladder you’ll still make

bile it’ll still trickle through to the small intestines

but it’s going to be a lot less concentrated

and it’s going to be a lot less regulated because now we just have a

tube and we don’t have a certain amount of

bile being squeezed into the small intestine so you

can use that to help break down fats and extract certain nutrients from

the fat all the fat soluble vitamins vitamin a d

e k 1 and k 2 are completely dependent on bile for their absorption

so if you start losing your bile you’re going to start losing eventually

vitamin a so that can affect your vision and by

the way bile directly can activate the vitamin a

receptor and there is a connection between lowered bile pools in your body

and your vision bile helps you absorb vitamin d

and because the majority of people are deficient in vitamin d we should also be

looking at this bile connection so bile doesn’t just help you break down

fat and extract vitamin d but bile can stimulate the receptors for

vitamin d directly and help vitamin d work a lot better in

the body as well as convert inactive vitamin d to active vitamin d

and then we have vitamin e which is essential for your muscles

for your heart for sex hormones so without enough concentrated bile

you may not absorb all the fat cycle vitamins and it could take a while for

that to show up as deficiencies okay number two

constipation bile acts as a lubricant to allow food to go through your body so

without enough bile you’ll tend to have constipation number

three bile helps you extract omega-3 fatty

acids from the food that you eat specifically

dha and epa this is a very powerful

anti-inflammatory and this is very very important in your

brain and your retina number four i already

mentioned this vitamin d and vitamin a receptors are

activated by by bile so if you don’t have enough bile

you may not get the full function of vitamin d and vitamin a

number five and a lot of people don’t realize this i just recently created a

video on it bile keeps bacteria out of the wrong

place in other words it keeps bacteria

friendly and unfriendly out of your small intestines this is why

you have roughly over 20 feet of small intestine

and at the very end of that tube it’s called the ilium

it’s the last part right before it connects to the large intestine

that’s where you absorb 95 of all your bile

because the body wants to have bile go all the way through

small intestine and act as an antibacterial

and keep that out of the small intestine that way you can avoid getting sibo

small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in that condition it robs all your

nutrients and it creates all sorts of bloating issues

all right number six biles necessary for the conversion of t4 to t3

so to keep your thyroid working you need bile number seven bile regulates

cholesterol it will get rid of the excess amount of cholesterol it doesn’t

need so it helps to purge and regulate excess

cholesterol as well as the detoxification of certain drugs and

access hormones and number eight if someone’s deficient in bile one of

the side effects is ulcers and gastritis

because the bile sometimes gets backed up into the wrong place and it can

irritate the tissues now there’s two fascinating books that

i’m basing this off of one is bile acid biology and it’s therapeutic

implications and my favorite bile salts in health and

diseases these are textbooks on bile salts

and the amount of data you can get from this is fascinating

so unfortunately it’s there seems to be a big disconnect or

lack of knowledge about exactly what the gallbladder does

and specifically what bile does all right i’ll see you in the next video

hey we’re back with another amazing recipe no grains
