Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

So today we're going to talk about why eggs are especially important for a post-menopausal

female.

Eggs, and I'm talking about the yolks, are loaded with coline.

And coline is a vitamin to help strip fat off the liver.

It actually can prevent a fatty liver.

If you're deficient in coline, you can be more susceptible to getting a fatty liver.

It also helps dissolve lipids or fats, so it supports bile salts, which also break down fats.

So for example, if you're on the ketogenic diet and you have a difficulty in digesting fats

and you're taking purified bile salts for the gallbladder and you find that there's something missing,

coline is missing.

A coline deficiency can also cause constipation and even affect memory because coline is kind of

like a building block for a seat of coline, which is involved in nerve physiology.

Why is coline good post-menopausal versus pre-menopausal?

Well, because women that are post-menopausal have lesser amounts of estrogen.

Now, even though they're estrogen dominant because their progesterone really drops way down

and it gives them a ratio of too much estrogen, but it's compared to progesterone.

But if we look at the total amount of estrogen, post-menopausal, it's going to be a lot lower.

And estrogen protects against the loss of coline.

Some women will take estrogen after their post-menopausal.
