hey it’s me again in this video we’re going to talk about the amazing gallbladder

part 4 okay so this is the last video in the series and there’s a couple

more things I want to share with you number one the gallbladder releases

bile that helps break down fat but it doesn’t break down fat all the way to

the smallest particle it needs help by this thing called the pancreas the

pancreas and the gallbladder work together to break down these fats so if

you are substituting bile into the diet or a purified bile salt and it doesn’t

fully solve the problem it could mean that the pancreas is not releasing

enzymes because the symptoms of pancreatic enzyme deficiencies are very

similar to a gallbladder deficiency or a bile deficiency okay so you have to kind

of understand that there could be that too because they both work together so

this pancreas makes a fat enzyme called lipase and that really works to help

take that break down of fat all the way down to the smallest particle so you can

start absorbing it and start using it so that’s very important now also there’s

some studies that show that having enough bile will prevent fibrosis now

what is fibrosis that’s the scar tissue that builds up on

the liver fibrosis of the soft tissues it’s like scar tissue it’s like

a connective tissue that just kind of plugs everything up so I just want to

point that out because if you have fibrosis one of the things that I found

when I’m doing research if you take purified bile salts that can improve that

condition so you might want to do research in that area

next thing we’re talking about is cholesterol now people are freaked out

because of cholesterol but they don’t understand what cholesterol is they

think cholesterol is a fat cholesterol is not a fat you’ve heard of HDL and LDL

do you know what it stands for high density lipoproteins low-density

lipoproteins they’re proteins that carry fat through the body and they the

purpose of that cholesterol is to actually help heal parts of the body so

if there’s some type of inflammation in your arteries

it’s called the lesion that cholesterol will come in there and start healing up

like a band-aid and if you don’t understand that you’re going to think that oh my

gosh my cholesterol is too high I’m going to get clogged arteries when

really it’s just trying to heal your arteries because you’ve eaten too much

sugar or junk food so cholesterol is not a bad thing it’s likely it just tells

you that the body is trying to heal itself in some way and to have someone

tell you you need extremely low cholesterol like down to the hundreds

like way down low like a hundred or below 100 I wholly disagree with that

because there’s just as many problems health-wise from low cholesterol as

there is high cholesterol for your immune system cancer why because

cholesterol is needed to help heal the body and protect the immune system

cholesterol actually is needed to make bile it’s needed to make stress hormones

I mean think about it your liver makes 2,000 milligrams of cholesterol every

single day why does your body make that much if it’s bad it’s not bad it’s good

and because it actually is it’s good in the right ratio so we you shouldn’t be

afraid of cholesterol you just need to realize that we want the right amount of

it we want the exchange the good and bad we want that at the certain amounts and

if the cholesterol does go high it either is because you’re eating too much

sugar or alcohol or you might not have enough bio to help break down that

cholesterol so a very important point okay another point in your thyroid

thyroid produces a hormone called T4 and a lot of times women take and men take

synthroid that’s T4 that’s the inactive form of thyroid hormone well did you

know that that gets converted through the liver to T3 but if you don’t have

enough bile you can’t convert it so a lot of times your thyroid problem is

really not a thyroid problem it’s a gallbladder liver problem because

the conversion isn’t there so here you are taking all this synthroid for years

and years and not seeing any results because this

is the culprit in fact the original cause of your slow thyroid it could be this

area right here important thing to know if your metabolism is slow so this I’m

telling you the importance of the gallbladder is it’s huge

okay there’s there’s a couple things that can cause this gallbladder and the

duct to be smaller or pinched off and that could be stress because high

levels of cortisol going in the system or estrogen too much estrogen can also mess

up the gallbladder and that’s why females that take hormone replacement

therapy or even birth control pills or even go through a pregnancy when they

have this huge spike of estrogen and they end up with a gallbladder problem well

guess where it came from excessive estrogen and then people have questions

about the gallbladder formula I have I’m just going to tell you what’s in it

this is an extra-strength version I just added a new ingredient because I wanted

to add all the pancreatic enzymes so it has pancreas enzymes pancreas enzymes it

has purified bile salts it has the betaine hydrochloride so that actually helps

your stomach it has slippery elm bark to help lubricate this area right here and

has stone root to help break down any stones so it’s a really great

combination to help support a healthy gallbladder so I hope you enjoyed this

series and if you have any questions please post them below and I’ll see you

in the next video
