so i want to talk about a very common problem with  most people and it involves uh tight muscles tight  

traps specifically on the right side up here so  many people when they go to massage therapists  

they get their shoulders massaged and it’s always  tight on the right side because it is so easy to  

fix it’s completely unnecessary and the problem  is not what you think so let’s take a look at  

what’s going on so we have the vertebra on the  back okay there’s seven uh vertebra in your neck  

called cervical vertebra and then you have the  scapula okay scapula is on the back part of your  

shoulder it’s a bone and there’s a muscle that  raises the scapula and the muscle is attached to  

the corner of the scapula and it and it attaches  to the cervical spine one through four okay then  

you have also one on the left as well but we’re  going to focus on on the one on the right and  

i’ll tell you why in a second and so the purpose  of this muscle is to raise the shoulder blade  

okay it’s called the levator scapula muscle it  elevates the scapula now there’s a superficial  

muscle or a muscle on top of that called the  trap okay and that attaches to the back of  

your skull called the occiput on the spine of the  scapula which is an extra little bone right there  

and then it comes down and attaches to your your  thoracic spine through here so it’s a very broad  

diamond shaped muscle that is on top of this  levator scapulae muscle so when people complain of  

right trap pain it’s not their trap it’s the  levator scapulae muscle but it’s not even that  

there’s another root cause underneath  that that is tightening up that muscle  

and it’s called the phrenic nerve and the phrenic  nerve goes from the diaphragm and you have one on  

the left one on the right so it primarily controls  the diaphragm which is the muscle so it also has  

sensory nerves so it has both the sensation and  motor control which basically controls the muscle  

it goes from the diaphragm all the way up to the  third through the fifth vertebra okay so that’s  

where it connects to so basically what happens  is when your gallbladder or liver is inflamed  

congested swollen it’s going to put pressure on  that nerve and send signals up to the neck which  

is going to cause a guarding or a protective  mechanism on the levator scapulae muscle  

which is a tightness that’s what that tightness  is so you can massage it till the cows come home  

i had this problem probably my whole life i didn’t  know what it was until my late 20s but it’s really  

coming from the gallbladder usually the people who  have pain right up here also have a full sensation  

underneath the right diaphragm what’s happening is  there’s a blockage in the drainage of the little  

ducts they’re called bile ducts and then bile is  backing up into the liver and bile is a detergent  

and that is irritating and creating inflammation  in the liver as well as in the bile ducts and  

that is what the problem is and it’s such  an easy problem to fix all you have to do  

is lower your carbohydrates that’s called  healthy keto decrease the omega-6 fatty  

acids that’s all the vegetable oils very  important i put a video down below for those  

people who have not been to my channel you need  to know about that because that’s going to be  

huge take some purified bile salts okay put  more information about that what that will do  

is it will open up the ducts it allows drainage  and the inflammation will go down to basically  

zero in your liver and you’ll start getting a lot  of relief do a moderate amount of fats okay don’t  

go crazy with too much until you build up your own  bile reserve and this is the big one number four  

cut out snacking that is the killer this grazing  all day the snacking never gives your gallbladder  

a chance to reset and heal it becomes overwhelmed  it backs up and you need to cut out the snacking  

and do what’s called intermittent fasting and  then number five is increase your fasting so  

if you don’t eat the whole digestive system has  a chance to reset this is so simple and that’s  

why i’m emphasizing it because it’s unnecessary  to have this pain over and over again and you’re  

gonna get a lot of relief from this so try it out  and comment down below 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  u.s 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
