so this video is about post gallbladder surgery now whether you had your gallbladder already removed or you’re contemplating getting gallbladder surgery this video is very very important for you because any time you’re going to get rid of a very important organ it’s essential that you understand the purpose of that organ and what’s inside that organ what is the gallbladder and what is this function well the gallbladder is mainly a sac that holds bile salts which i’m going to get to in a second it stores bile until the next time you eat and very importantly it concentrates bile to a factor of 5x so the significance of that is that when you eat the gallbladder contracts and releases a very concentrated form of bile salts and once you have your gallbladder removed you don’t have that concentration of bile salts you have a trickling of bile salts down from these little bile ducts into the small intestine and so gallbladder surgery is all about removing the symptoms of a gallbladder whether it’s a stone or other reason but is this all about symptoms what about the function of bile itself and what it does i’m going to explain that so bile is created from your liver and it trickles down through these little tubes into the gallbladder and then it also goes down into the small intestine so bile is a detergent that breaks up fat okay so in this little jar i have fat okay and then with this i have detergent dishwashing liquid so bile is detergent so let’s see what happens mix it with a fat so i’m going to just take some purified bowel salts and put it in this oil here okay now we’re going to mix it up now notice what happens it emulsifies or breaks up the fat into smaller particles okay that’s what bile does it’s a detergent that breaks down fat into smaller particles so the enzyme called lipase in your pancreas can easily break it down into even smaller particles for the small intestine to absorb the things in fat like fat soluble vitamins so bile is essential for extracting the fat soluble vitamins from your food like vitamin a if you’re deficient about m a you can’t see in the dark vitamin e it’s for the heart so a lot of vitamin e is stored in the muscles it’s stored in pituitary to help with maintaining sex hormones so vitamin e is a very very essential vitamin and also for protecting the heart it prevents inflammation and oxidation from the inside of your arteries so if you don’t have enough bile and you can’t extract this vitamin e the heart suffers the hormones suffer then we have vitamin d which is probably one of the most important vitamins and the majority of the population is deficient in vitamin d so without bile you can’t absorb vitamin d then we have vitamin k both k1 and k2 if you’re deficient in vitamin k1 you bleed easily and you have bruising if you’re deficient in vitamin k2 you have calcium that builds up in the wrong places in the arteries and in your joints now bile is also necessary for extracting essential fatty acids as in omega-3 fatty acids which are very very important as an anti-inflammatory for heart health and there’s a huge long list of many other things as well now when we get to gallstones what is a gallstone a gallstone is a super concentrated cholesterol stone so if we have too much cholesterol and not enough bile salts we get stones there’s either not enough production of bile from the liver because there’s some problem in the liver or there’s a problem in the tubes the bile ducts or there’s a problem in the gallbladder but having a bile will prevent gall stones people think it’s the fat that causes gallstones no it’s not it’s the lack of bile in fact it’s your cholesterol that makes bile and without cholesterol you can’t even make bile another function of bile is in helping the conversion from t4 to t3 it helps the thyroid convert hormones into the active form of the thyroid hormone so if there’s a problem with the liver or the bile you’re not going to be able to convert these hormones as well and you could end up with a hypothyroid problem all right another function of bile number five is the support of blood sugars so it does help in the regulation of blood sugars if you don’t have enough bile it can adversely affect your blood sugars all right number six and this is an interesting one when you eat food there are certain fats that you eat that have beneficial things essential fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins but is there any type of fat soluble nutrients in vegetables and the answer is yes certain phytonutrients like carotenoids chlorophyll is fat soluble so in order to absorb those really important phytonutrients that give you additional health benefits you need bile this is one good reason to add the olive oil to your salad or to eat vegetables with some type of fat whether it’s butter or coconut oil or olive oil it helps in the absorption of these fat soluble vitamins but you also need bile salts so i hope you’re beginning to see some of the important factors of having enough bile in your body and having a gallbladder as well all right number seven bile helps you get rid of excessive cholesterol in fact having the bile salts accounts for the majority of cholesterol breakdown so not having enough bile salts especially when you go through the ketogenic diet because you’re going to be consuming more fat could account for a spike in cholesterol especially since you are on a low carb diet and you’re tapping into the fat cell which also has not just triglycerides but it also has cholesterol and that cholesterol has to be extracted from the fat and it has to go through the liver and out through the bile ducts with the help of your bile next point is that bile helps you release toxins without a bile you become more toxic you can’t get rid of toxins all right number nine bile is like an anti-pathogenic factor it helps to kill off microbes especially in the small intestine so most of the friendly bacteria are in the large intestine not the small intestine we don’t want a lot of microbes in the small intestine because microbes even friendly microbes compete for nutrients ninety percent of all the absorption of nutrients happens in the small intestine so we don’t want this competition we want most of the microbes to stay down a large bowel if you don’t have enough bile these microbes tend to exist more in the small intestine and that condition is called small intestinal bacterial overgrowth sibo and one of the causes for that is a lack of bile and one of the remedies is to take more bile cells to help kill off these microbes and this is why biola is so important in the body in fact a great majority of your bile is recycled because your body considers it viable in fact the microbes in your body the friendly microbes actually make bile salts they make a secondary bile salts and one of the reasons for that is it’s a strategic anti-pathogenic strategy it tends to kill off the bad bacteria but the good bacteria are not bothered by it except if there’s excessive good bacteria in the wrong place and number 10 bile is alkaline so when it’s released into the small intestine just beneath the stomach you have this acid coming through the stomach that gets neutralized by bile salts so both bile and the juices from the pancreas coming out called bicarbonates are alkaline to help neutralize the acid if you don’t have that alkaline material the acid could burn a hole in your small intestine and create an ulcer and other issues so we need it to help alter the ph at the level of the small intestine so bile is crucial in so many different aspects but especially in regulating cholesterol because if we don’t have enough bile the cholesterol can develop these little stones called gallstones as well as gallbladder sludge okay which are micro crystals of stone and that can block the bile ducts and create some of the same symptoms that a galls
