Okay, so today we're going to talk about fatty liver and bile salts, okay?

Here's the problem. When you have a fatty liver,

you will not be able to make the amount of bile salts that your body really needs.

Bile is needed to help break down fats and

Disposive cholesterol, okay? So and I'm talking about healthy things like

Extracting essential fatty acids omega-3 DHA fats for the brain. You need bile to do that

You need bile to break down fats and and to extract vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin D, vitamin K2

So without bile, you can't get those benefits. Bile also breaks down cholesterol to prevent stones, okay?

So the less bile you have, the more concentrated the cholesterol and the more stones that your body can generate

So with a fatty liver, the capacity for the liver to work is a lot less and

The liver cells are the cells that make bile. So there's a couple of things that make a fatty liver. The big one is alcohol

But there's also a type of fatty liver called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and

20% of the population has this condition the way that you know you have it you can do an ultrasound

But a much easier way is just to look down at your belly if you have a belly you have a fatty liver, okay?

Or if you have a back fat

You have a fatty liver and even people that don't have a

gut also many times will have a fatty liver

They call that skinny fat where they're eating a lot of sugar and a lot of junk food and they're just developing a fatty liver

They're more likely to get diabetes than a gut because just the way that their metabolism works

But this condition usually comes from high amounts of insulin, okay?

Because insulin is causing the carbs to be converted into fat in the liver and especially fructose

But you might say well, I don't consume fructose or fruct
