hey guys dr. Berg here in this video I wanted to  answer the question what is the gallbladder okay  

now the gallbladder is located underneath the  right ribcage right here okay you can see this  

is the liver on the right side as a little 

• the liver makes a fluid that goes into the  

gallbladder okay and the gallbladder basically  stores bile B IL e okay now bile is not waste  

or bowel like people think it’s like waste it’s  now bile breaks down fats it breaks down facts  

it’s fats like a like a detergent will dissolve  grease it breaks down fat into small little tiny  

particles so then certain things from the pancreas  certain enzymes like lipase which basically breaks  

down fats worked in the small intestine to take  that already broken down fat into really tiny  

particles of fat called essential fatty acids  okay so that’s what it does so the pancreas and  

gallbladder work together to absorb and break down  fats so the gallbladder secretes this vial when  

you eat fat that’s when it’s supposed to release  it if you don’t eat fat it’s not going to release  

it so it’s stores bile it also concentrates file  so the bile in that gallbladder is super strong  

so you don’t need much of it probably like one  ounce or two ounces of it and it squashes out  

and it comes in the small intestine it does its  work right there so here’s the thing if you’re  

actually consuming six meals all day but with  snacks you’re doing three meals and using snacks  

between at night you’re grazing and every time  you’re eating you’re basically releasing some bile  

especially if you’re eat any type of nuts or fats  or anything like that well guess what you’re going  

to really create a loss of this concentration of  bile because you’re constantly eating is constant  

it doesn’t have a chance to concentrate so you’re  going to actually eventually be deficient in bile  

so we’ll talk about that in a little bit but and  that’s why in tremendous fasting is so healing to  

the gallbladder because it allows the gallbladder  to concentrate its file and not have to work so  

hard that means eating without snacking through  the day okay so it concentrates the bile it  

also kills bacteria in your food that’s pretty  cool alright so now let’s go back to this bio  

thing the most of emulsification comes from the  latin word which means milk which actually means  

combining water and fat and that’s what milk is  it’s like a combination of a substance that has  

water and fat together because you notice that  fat and water don’t mix well when you emulsify  

it can actually mix better and that’s why the bile  is emulsifier it’s kind of like a it allows the  

fat to be broken down and dissolved and mixed up  within the rest of the the food coming down from  

the small intestine because if you didn’t have  anything to break down the fat the fat would just  

kind of go right through you and it wouldn’t  be dissolved so bile also helps you lubricate  

the colon so when you’re deficient in bile you  become constipated okay also if you don’t have  

a lubricated coal and you’ll have pain when you’re  actually digesting when the food kind of does goes  

through because it’s not lubricated also by UPS  alkalis the stomach acids coming down from the  

stomach so they’ll have the super concentrated  acids from the stomach thank goodness we have  

the bile to help neutralize it because the bile  is alkaline alright now how do you know if you’re  

deficient in bile well first of all your stools  are going to float I don’t know if you’ve ever  

tried this as a kid work or you’ve probably seen  people when they have the little stools floating  

in the toilet and you try to flush it it doesn’t  go doesn’t go down it just keeps floating that’s  

some serious amount of fat in there that that  person does not have enough bile to break down  

the fat okay so the stool should sink unless  it has too much fat okay so also a pale color  

that would be a lighter color that would be an  indication of lower low bile also bad odor anal  

leakage and it’s oily so those people have low  bile because the oils is kind of going right  

through them we talked about constipated bloating  probably right shoulder pain but this is the big  

thing they’re going to actually be deficient in  fat soluble vitamins that’s vitamin A so there  

goes the eyes there goes the skin it goes with  sinus also vitamin D bone pain poor immune system  

that’s low vitamin D levels because they don’t  have enough file vitamin E that’s heart skin  

hormones vitamin K clotting factors bruising also  of k2 high up getting rid of soft tissue calcium  

from the arteries very important and then you have  a essential fatty acid absorption so essential  

fatty acids are those very the color essential for  a reason because we need them very important for  

your heart very important as an anti-inflammatory  they’re important for the cell structure in the  

cell wall very important to your skin so if you  can’t absorb essential fatty acid you’re going to  

have dry skin dry hair so we got even your mood  is affected by essential fatty acid there’s a  

lot of people who take omega-3 or DHA all these  healthy fats for certain health conditions well  

without this bile you can’t absorb it okay so  if you feel like you’re deficient you just need  

to focus on improving the function of their let’s  say you may be deficient in bile okay what do you  

do you can get a purified bile salt product okay  I use one called the gall bladder formula this  

doesn’t necessarily just have purified bile salts  it has a lot of other things it has stone root to  

help resolve gall stones it has pancreatic enzymes  to help you take the pressure off the digestion it  

has the pain hydrochloride to help digest the  acidify the stomach so it helps the stomach  

but got the pancreas the gall bladder Spanish  black radish slippery elm bark to lubricate  

these little things so it’s a really good formula  I like it and you take that app Amil you take one  

after meal you don’t need more than that and some  people just take it after one meal now when do you  

know that you don’t need file is when you have  diarrhea why because bio will actually increase  

the elimination so if you’re already eliminating  too much you don’t need bio okay also if you have  

a hyper thyroid the fire is moving too much and  you add bile to it which you don’t want to add  

that product that’s going to speed up more thyroid  hormone and you’ll have a more hyper thyroid this  

would be good for taking bio will be good for  someone that has a hypothyroid because bile is  

necessary for the conversion of t4 to t3 thyroid  so it makes your thyroid work better if it’s slow  

so the only reason you wouldn’t want to take it  is if it’s too fast which is more rare but just  

want to make that note so I hope that helped you  understand the gallbladder a bit more on what it  

is and people just take these things out like  this like it’s not important but it really is  

important try to keep your gallbladder at all  cost alright thank you so much for watching
