Eric BergHOST
The gallbladder is really a little sac that stores and concentrates bile.
Eric BergHOST
And then when you eat, it contracts to release the bile into your small intestine so you can actually break down fats.
Eric BergHOST
Bile that's stored in the gallbladder, which by the way, is produced in the liver.
Eric BergHOST
So the gallbladder doesn't produce bile.
Eric BergHOST
It just stores it and it concentrates it.
Eric BergHOST
If you don't have this bile, you can't get the benefit of the phytonutrients from your vegetables.
Eric BergHOST
Also, bile helps remove toxins from the body, excess hormones like estrogen, pesticides, all sorts of stuff.
Eric BergHOST
Bile is the primary route to get rid of excess cholesterol.
Leslie KernisonHOST
You also have a gallbladder that can store bile as well.
Leslie KernisonHOST
And bile is important because your body needs it in the intestines to help digest fats and to otherwise assist with digestion.
Leslie KernisonHOST
Bile is also a way to excrete certain substances from the body.
Leslie KernisonHOST
Another function of the liver is that it stores certain vitamins and minerals.
Leslie KernisonHOST
For instance, the liver is one of the primary places that the body stores extra iron if you happen to have extra iron.
Hank GreenHOST
So another thing the small intestine does with the help of its friend the gallbladder is break down fatty stuff like this milkshake.
Hank GreenHOST
Near the top of your small intestine is a little pipe where bile salts manufactured by the liver and stored by the gallbladder are squirted out into the small intestine.
Hank GreenHOST
Bile works like dish detergent on a pan you just fried something in.
Hank GreenHOST
It's an emulsifier.
Hank GreenHOST
It takes hydrophobic fat molecules and breaks them up into fatty acids and monoglycerides, which can be absorbed by all that epithelial tissue.
BiancaGUEST
It processes a lot of things in our body.

BunHOST
Um, now granted it is Texas State, you always got the motivation factor sort of thing, and the lookahead, and all that good stuff.
BunHOST
But I mean, Bile showed out.
BunHOST
I mean, but at the same time, if Bo Jax is getting six, seven yards a carry, I mean, it's gonna make it tough for him.
BunHOST
So if it's like you said, I mean, you're counting on the energy, playing at Texas at night, all the motivation in the world after, after last year's game.
Eric BergHOST
And we're also gonna talk about why bears, out of all mammals, produce a tremendous amount of TUDCA, whereas humans only produce a very tiny bit.
Eric BergHOST
Bile in general is made by the liver.
Eric BergHOST
It travels down a bile duct and gets stored in the gallbladder, where it concentrates the bile by a factor of 7 to 12 times, so it's super concentrated.
Eric BergHOST
And then when you eat, this gallbladder contracts, releases the bile through another duct into the small intestine to help you break down fat.
Eric BergHOST
Also, cholesterol is needed to make hormones, testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, which is a stress hormone.
Eric BergHOST
Bile that's in your gallbladder is made from cholesterol, and vitamin D is made from cholesterol.
Eric BergHOST
Now, just as a side note, I'm not telling you to stop your statins.
Eric BergHOST
Check with your doctor before you implement any of the things I'm gonna share with you.
DapperHOST
will tell you.
DapperHOST
Chapter 67, Spit and Bile.
DapperHOST
Oh, spit and bile.
DapperHOST
No, I don't
Donald FridleyGUEST
Yeah, and so with reflux after a sleeve, this is still a good procedure because...
Donald FridleyGUEST
Bile is made in the second portion of the duodenum, or I'm sorry, it's not made in the liver, but it's actually delivered to the second portion of the duodenum.
Donald FridleyGUEST
And when it refluxes, it has to go through the first portion, past the pylorus, into the stomach and the antrum and then up.
Donald FridleyGUEST
And so when you have a separate connection that is actually in the first portion of the duodenum that is five centimeters wide, and it's hitting up against a pylorus, bile doesn't go into the stomach.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
