Summary
Today, we’re going to talk about how your liver could potentially cause stiffness in your body. If the liver isn’t working right, it may cause joint stiffness to the point where you feel like you have arthritis.
Cholestasis is a condition where your bile is backed up and not flowing freely through the bile ducts. There is a combination of too much cholesterol and not enough bile, causing the bile to back up, which then causes inflammation.
If there is a problem with the bile ducts, you can experience a lot of pain and stiffness, especially on the right side of the body.
If you don’t have enough bile, you also won’t be able to absorb and utilize vitamin D, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Other fat-soluble vitamins will also not be available to you, which can lead to pain, stiffness, and other issues.
The best potential remedies for stiffness:
• Purified bile salts
• Get on the Healthy Keto diet
• Do intermittent fasting
• Eliminate omega-6 fatty acids from your diet

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:12.0 | Now, if you have stiffness, always consider the liver. |
| 0:26.6 | The liver, if it's not working right, will completely make your joints almost like you feel |
| 0:32.9 | like you have arthritis, okay? |
| 0:35.9 | And let's talk about why that is. |
| 0:37.3 | Now the number one point is you |
| 0:38.6 | might have something called coelostasis okay coelostasis what does that mean it means |
| 0:42.9 | that your bile is being backed up it's not flowing through the pipes through the |
| 0:48.6 | tubes they're called there's ducks okay like the bile ducts and bile is supposed to |
| 0:52.8 | flow freely through there, but sometimes |
| 0:54.9 | it gets thick. And so you have this combination of too much cholesterol and not enough bile. |
| 0:59.5 | And it's kind of just, it gets all jammed up and it backs up and it creates a lot of inflammation |
| 1:04.6 | to the body. Now the bile is produced by the liver and it should drain to the ducks and |
| 1:09.1 | be stored in the gallbladder. And if there's a problem with these ducks, boy, you're going to have pain. And primarily on the right side of your body, actually, you're going to be stiff and you're going to have pain. If you don't have enough bile, also you're not going to absorb and utilize vitamin D, which is a very powerful anti-inflammatory. |
| 1:28.3 | We're off the bat. |
| 1:29.3 | So without vitamin D, you're going to feel kind of stiff. |
| 1:31.3 | You're going to have back pain too. |
| 1:33.3 | All right. |
| 1:34.3 | Also, the other fat-cibo vitamins are not going to be available to you, |
| 1:37.3 | like vitamin K2, which is also responsible of transporting calcium from the blood into the bone. |
| 1:43.3 | So it doesn't deposit in your arteries and your joints. |
| 1:48.0 | So it keeps calcium in the right place. |
