so today we’re gonna talk about vitamin D bile and your gallbladder and an interesting connection now vitamin D is probably one of the most important vitamins yet it is one of the most common vitamin deficiencies on this planet vitamin D has a lot to do with bone growth if you’re deficient as an infant you could develop scoliosis kyphosis which is hunchback flat feet all sorts of structural problems and sleep disorders blood sugar problems immune problems inflammatory conditions specifically like arthritis rheumatoid arthritis and all the autoimmune diseases vitamin D is involved in cardiovascular problems especially high blood pressure one simple remedy to draw blood pressures to take enough vitamin D you would want about thirty to forty thousand IU’s per day your brain needs vitamin D to work now in your mind you might think you’re getting enough vitamin D from your diet which it’s almost impossible to achieve now vitamin D is present in fish fatty fish maybe a little bit in mushrooms cod liver oil and a few other foods but it is almost impossible to get your vitamin D from your diet now son we can definitely get vitamin D but if you’re older if you have certain health problems like diabetes or your skin is a little bit darker you’re gonna need a lot more Sun to achieve your requirements for vitamin D then what you do in the winter well you would take supplements but what I want to talk about is number three absorption of vitamin D there are other nutrients that help absorb vitamin D like magnesium b6 and even vitamin k2 but if you have malabsorption you’re gonna have a very difficult time absorbing vitamin D so the inside of the colon is damaged from maybe years of antibiotics or junk food that alone is going to make you deficient if you have some type of inflammatory condition you’re gonna have huge barrier up holding in that vitamin D but the other thing I want to mention is the gallbladder normally your liver makes bile and it flows down and gets stored into the gallbladder so the gallbladder concentrates bile the bile is necessary to act as a detergent to help you extract fat soluble vitamins from your food without a gallbladder you’re gonna have a difficult time absorbing vitamin D from the diet or if there’s gall stones or if there’s a lack of bile itself you’re not gonna be able to absorb vitamin D efficiently and that could come from many things including a fatty liver which a lot of people have then we have B which is viral infections certain viruses have a strategy of downgrading the vitamin D receptor the VDR apparently they are very intelligent and they know that we need vitamin D desperately to make sure our immune system works but what they do is they start downgrading this receptor so now the vitamin D can’t get absorbed cortisol which comes from stress and certain medications as in prednisone cortisol cream can block the vitamin D receptor too so that’s another barrier then we have something called polymorphism now what is that that is a mutation or an alteration in the gene that is part of this receptor so now that you know the barriers let’s talk about some solutions but I want to actually teach you a new word we know that VDR stands for vitamin D receptor but the word agonist it’s something that connects that makes everything work and the opposite of an agonist would be an antagonist okay something that would block the function what would be a vdr agonist well vitamin D in higher amounts so when you take higher amounts I’m talking 30 40 50 60 70 thousand IU’s of vitamin D that can sometimes override this problem right here even this problem right here if there’s a problem with a downgraded receptor or some blockage sometimes you just need to take more next one is benicar this is a medication which I’m not recommending but there’s an interesting protocol called the Marshall protocol I’ll put a link down below in which they’re using this medication which is a medication they used for blood pressure to help the absorption of vitamin D to help treat autoimmune disorders and of course my viewpoint is this is there some alternative to medication that can be used as a vdr agonist well guess what we’ll do it bile salts bile salts are a natural vdr agonist so bile salts will help the absorption of vitamin D and I will put a link down below so anytime you’re dealing with inflammatory conditions or very resistant conditions that you know will respond to vitamin D but there’s some type of barrier you can also add some purified bile salts to enhance the absorption simply because bile can act as a VDR agonist thanks for watching Hey were back with another amazing recipe no grains no sugar totally keto there’s no suffering on keto absolutely not Karen and it’s an immune system builder absolutely you have to check this out I think you should hurry up watch the recipe and make it yourself it’s just so easy to be keto but is it simple it’s super simple hope you enjoy
