i want to talk about the relationship between  bile acids and cholesterol it’s really important  

information especially if you’re concerned about  your cholesterol but bile acids are made by your  

liver they’re also made by your friendly bacteria  but the thing that i want you to know about is  

that 75 of all the cholesterol in your body is  made by your own body and only 25 comes from  

food so when you have high cholesterol people tend  to freak out and they start to get on medication  

and what they don’t realize is that your body  actually makes the majority of cholesterol they  

might not also realize this very very important  fact your bile acids are the primary pathway  

for cholesterol catabolism now what is catabolism  it’s the process where your body is breaking  

down complex molecules to simple molecules so in  this case your body is breaking down cholesterol  

into smaller particles so then you can use  those small particles to make things like  

vitamin d cellular membranes hormones and even  bile in other words bile is made from cholesterol  

and this is one of the problems that people have  when they start taking a statin drug which blocks  

the production of cholesterol and now we have a  problem with the production of bile a problem with  

the production of vitamin d and a problem with  making cell membranes and hormones now number two  

50 of all your daily cholesterol turnover which  means the rate of being depleted and replaced  

okay like recycled is controlled by  bile salts and number three bile salts  

help to regulate the ratios between ldl  and hdl they actually will lower your ldl  

and raise your hdl so when people go on a low carb  diet sometimes their cholesterol might increase  

and so this is not a bad thing it just means  that your body is releasing more cholesterol  

from the fat cell but also if you’re concerned  you might want to take purified bile salts because  

you might be lacking bile and that could be the  reason why your cholesterol is a little bit too  

high i’m talking about ldl and if you’re not used  to eating more fats you just might not have enough  

production of bowel yet because your body has not  adapted so it’s another factor in why you might  

have high cholesterol and just so you know bile  salts have many purposes okay i just mentioned  

one the regulation of cholesterol but it also acts  as a detergent to help break down fat so you can  

actually extract the fat soluble nutrients vitamin  a d e and k which have to do with your vision  

which have to do with preventing bruising that  would be vitamin k1 vitamin k2 has to do with  

calcium transportation out of the arteries and  the joints vitamin e has to do with the heart  

the pituitary fertility and you probably  know what vitamin d does anti-inflammatory  

helps you lower blood sugar helps your immunity  helps bring up your mood and bile also can help  

with supporting a healthy liver as well as helping  you extract the essential fatty acids like omega-3
