Welcome to the elemental Evon podcast.

3

This is your host as always

Evan Roberts on this podcast.

4

I break down health topics from a

simplified and holistic perspective.

5

So you can walk away with some tools

in your hand, in your pocket, ready

6

to go, ready to apply them to your

life and hopefully improve your

7

health for the better today's episode.

8

We're going to be talking a bit about

a gall bladder and liver cleanse that

9

I've personally done and is a pretty.

10

Um, popular, but maybe a little

bit of an extreme cleanse.

11

I'm going to kind of run through, uh,

some of the controversy on it, as well

12

as what my personal opinion is on it.

13

And as well, this is all kind of leading

up to more episodes that I will be

14

doing on the gallbladder and liver.

15

Uh, specifically pertaining to

digestion as well as just overall

16

gallbladder and liver health.

17

Uh, also just on that note, who knew

that the liver and gallbladder play a

18

pretty big role in our digestive health.

19

Personally not I, um, and I think I

could speak for many people, uh, in

20

terms of, you know, just not really

putting those two things together.

21

Uh, but they do, they definitely play

a role and they are tied together

22

as are most things in the body.

23

Right?

24

I mean, you do one thing to one part

of the body and it tends to affect

25

every other part of the body as well.

26

So, uh, this is no different.

27

Before we jump into today's episode.

28

Uh, of course, as always check out

the awesome sponsors that we have

29

in the description of today's show.

30

That way you can go ahead and check

out some of the awesome brands that

31

I work with, uh, as well as some of

just my favorite supplements to take

32

personally, uh, you know, in there is

one that I talk about a ton on this

33

show, and that is the energy bits.

34

Uh, spirulina and chlorella.

35

Uh, something I take all the time and

as well, when it comes to detoxifying.

36

Uh, the blood, which is a

big function of deliver.

37

Chlorophyll, which is found in chlorella

and in spirulina is really good at

38

detoxifying heavy metals from the blood.

39

Uh, so it's kind of going to help the

detoxification process and also help

40

out the liver a little bit there.

41

And it's also just got a ton

of other great things in it.

42

You're also gonna find Organifi in there.

43

They have some awesome products and as

well in future episodes, I will be sharing

44

some of my favorite herbs and supplements

to take for gallbladder and liver health.

45

Some of which I have

no, uh, personal tie to.

46

They're just awesome products

that I really love as well.

47

Uh, and yeah.

48

I've of course, I'm here to share,

uh, any of the knowledge that I have.

49

That's really the goal of this podcast.

50

Is just to provide you with all the

information and let you just kind of,

51

uh, go with which way you see best

for yourself, because that's what it's

52

all about is your personal experience.

53

And that's a lot of what this show

is, is literally literally me.

54

Just trying things out on myself and

then I'm doing some research on it and

55

coming back to all of you to share it.

56

So let's jump in to today's episode.

57

So the gallbladder liver cleanse so very

quickly, um, I'm not going to go deep

58

into this, but as I mentioned earlier,

the liver does among many other things.

59

Uh, it D sorry, not detoxifies,

although it does, but it

60

cleanses your blood, right.

61

Filters your blood.

62

And then on top of that, one of the

big things in terms of digestion

63

and as well in connection with

the gallbladder is the liver.

64

The liver produces bile.

65

Which biol is essentially a liquid

substance that is used to help, uh,

66

digest and, you know, aid in the

absorption of, you know, fats, uh,

67

and, uh, assimilate them into the body.

68

So.

69

Bile is very important for any time

you're eating a fatty type of food

70

or fat in general, any kind of oil.

71

Uh, it is going to provoke the

release of bile into the digestive

72

system to help break down those fats.

73

So liver creates the bile.

74

Gallbladder is the gallbladder

is what stores, the Bible.

75

And when you're consuming some kind

of fatty food or some kind of a fat.

76

Your gallbladder, we'll go ahead

and contract and release some

77

of that bile into your digestive

system to help break down that fat.

78

Well, as if you've listened to

this show, you definitely know.

79

Uh, one of the common issues

that people have with their

80

gallbladder is gall stones.

81

And.

82

This is a whole topic that please

stay tuned for in future episode,

83

because I will go much deeper in on

it, but gallstones can build up in both

84

the bile ducts and the gallbladder,

and they can inhibit the release

85

of bile to properly digest fat.

86

If they're blocking the, uh,

the release pathway of the bile.

87

So.

88

Gallstones are no fun.

89

We don't like them.

90

We don't want them.

91

Um, they can be made up of, I

believe, cholesterol and bilirubin.

92

Uh, those are common.

93

Things that make up these gallstones.

94

And as well, many people who suffer from,

you know, High amounts of gallstones.

95

Uh, they ended up just having

their gallbladder removed, which

96

comes with kind of a whole other

set of issues down the road.

97

Which we'll definitely get

into in a future episode.

98

So by keeping it simple here

for the gallbladder and liver

99

cleanse that I'm speaking about.

100

What the cleanse is, is it's trying

to help remove those gallstones

101

as well as to aid in the health of

your liver and your gallbladder.

102

So, Since BYO is released

to break down fat.

103

What we do for this.

104

Gallbladder slash liver cleanse.

105

Is you actually fast for a minimum

of, uh, about 12 to 24 hours.

106

And then all the way up to even three

days have 72 hours worth of time.

107

Uh, yes.

108

And yes, you can fast for

that long period of time.

109

Um, some people will do a apple juice

cleanse where they're drinking apple

110

juice because, uh, something about the

apple juice helps to supposedly break

111

down gallstones, but essentially you're

doing a fast, which in general, fast are.

112

T they tend to be good for your liver.

113

They tend to give it a

break and allow it to rest.

114

Although there are some people who

would say that fasting is actually bad

115

for your liver and your gallbladder,

because they say then it gives your

116

gallbladder and liver and opportunity to.

117

Uh, build up gallstones because you're

not having a frequent release of bile.

118

So.

119

There's kind of a back and forth

on it in my personal opinion.

120

Um, I think fastening is totally fine.

121

Um, eventually when you eat.

122

You're going to probably have

some fats and you will naturally

123

begin to release that bile again.

124

So I'm not too worried on all of that.

125

Um, of course I could be

wrong, but I don't know.

126

My general gut instinct here is that.

127

Doing a fast is going to do you much

more benefit than it is going to do harm.

128

Uh, Mainly, if you do not have any

kind of, you know, Eating disorders

129

or, you know, kind of a specific

relationship with your food.

130

Uh, fasting tends to be

really, really beneficial.

131

So anyways, back to the fast,

the fast is a anywhere from

132

like a one to three day fast.

133

And then on the very last day, if

at your going all three days or

134

after your 12 to 24 hour fast, You

will then consume a mixture of, I

135

think it's like a half cup to a.

136

A cup of high quality

olive oil and lemon juice.

137

Yeah, I know it sounds delicious.

138

It's absolutely not.

139

It.

140

It does not taste very good.

141

Um, and then once you consume that

you then, uh, typically you'll drink

142

it in increments and then you will.

143

Uh, in between drinking the olive

oil and lemon juice mixture.

144

You will go ahead and lay

on a heat pad on your liver.

145

To just kind of stimulate it.

146

And then you pretty much just go

to bed and wake up the next morning

147

and check out what is in the toilet.

148

Because a lot of the times you

will see some, uh, gallstones.

149

So.

150

That is the method or process

of the gallbladder slash liver

151

cleanse, which I've done.

152

The re times now I want to say.

153

And my stance.

154

Well, rather, I guess I should say

what the claim is against this.

155

So there are people who say that

when you do this cleanse, what

156

ends up happening is when you

drink such a large mixture of this.

157

Oil and lemon juice.

158

It actually forms these little

gallstone lookalikes in your

159

digestive tract, and then you end

up releasing them through stool,

160

but they're not actually gallstones.

161

Apparently is what some

people are claiming.

162

Personally, I have never

had my gallbladder scanned.

163

That I could see all of the

gallstones I have in it.

164

Before, and then after a cleanse.

165

So I truly can't.

166

You know, Full on say yes, I can prove

that this cleanse absolutely gets rid

167

of gallstones, but I will say this.

168

When I have done this cleanse,

I have definitely passed.

169

These stonelike looking things

that look like gallstones very,

170

very much like all stones.

171

And as well, I just don't see

how the olive oil and the lemon

172

juice would be able to create

these in, you know, less than.

173

Literally like eight

to 12 hours in my body.

174

Right?

175

Like, To me personally, what's happening

is you're not eating for a period of time.

176

Therefore you're filling up

your gallbladder, which is

177

basically a reserve with biol.

178

So you're allowing it

to fill all the way up.

179

And then you're releasing a ton of

olive oil, which is a fat into your

180

digestive system, which is going to

obviously require a large dumping

181

of bile into your digestive system

to break down those fats, which.

182

Helps to release the

gallstones essentially.

183

Right.

184

So that is what is supposed to happen.

185

And personally, what I

think is happening because.

186

Let me tell you, like, These,

these look like legit gallstones.

187

In no way, shape or form.

188

Do I think that they are just

randomly made up through the mixture

189

of the lemon juice and the olive

oil within my digestive system.

190

So anyways, I believe that they are

gallstones once again, I can't prove

191

this a hundred percent, but I do

believe that this cleanse does work.

192

However, to that point,

After doing this three times.

193

I will say it is a pretty

intense cleanse, right?

194

Like this is, you know, if you're

doing it all the way for three

195

days, it's a, three-day fast.

196

Then on top of that, you're drinking

this really, you know, not super.

197

Tasty lemon juice and olive

oil, olive oil mixture.

198

Um, you know, you can

experience some nausea.

199

It might make you want to throw up because

obviously it doesn't taste very good.

200

And then you've just

consumed all this oil.

201

Uh, so, you know, you

have to get past that.

202

And then the next day you could

potentially have, you know, some,

203

uh, loose stool or just going to the

restroom a lot, whatever it might be.

204

So, you know, it's a pretty extreme

cleanse for what a cleanse is worth.

205

Uh, and there are other ways

in which you can care for your

206

gallbladder and your liver.

207

Um, I'm definitely going to

get very deep into those in.

208

A future episode, but just for.

209

Today's sake of the episode, a

few things that we can touch on.

210

Um, that are going to benefit

your gallbladder and your liver.

211

And once again, they work together.

212

So a lot of the times what benefits

the liver or the gallbladder is

213

going to benefit both of them.

214

But when it comes to herbs, for example,

you know, things like, uh, milk thistle,

215

Uh, artichoke and as well, we have, I

think it's actually artichoke root, sorry.

216

Dandelion root.

217

Uh, I believe marshmallow

root is in there as well.

218

Uh, these are all herbs that are

going to be very good for your liver.

219

Uh, as well as your gallbladder.

220

Then we have glutathione, which is

also very beneficial for the liver.

221

Uh, we also are going to have some

foods like apples and beets and carrots.

222

These are all going to be things that

are good for your liver and gallbladder.

223

And then as well, fiber fiber

can be very good for the.

224

Binding to have these bile acids as

they're being released from your liver,

225

which I'm going to get more into that

in a future episode, but essentially

226

that's really gonna benefit people

with their, uh, digestive system.

227

So.

228

Those are just a few things

that you can do to help your

229

liver and your gallbladder.

230

If you don't want to go down this path

of doing a really extreme cleanse.

231

Uh, you can take it much more easy.

232

Not go down that route or you could

also use an herb called chunka P ed.

233

Which means like Stonebraker basically,

um, and you can buy it in a tea form.

234

I believe you can also buy it in

capsule form and yes, a chunk up yet.

235

But I think it's C H a N C a

and then space, P I E D R a.

236

So that's an herb that you can consume

and it's supposed to help actually

237

break down the stones, whether it's

gallstones or kidney stones as well.

238

Um, so that is something that you can

also use, of course, uh, you know,

239

consult with a medical professional,

like, you know, go through all the correct

240

routes before just attempting some of

these things, but in general consuming

241

something like, you know, tumeric and,

um, you know, maybe some dandelion

242

root, something along those lines.

243

They're generally pretty safe

things to consume, but I don't know.

244

Maybe you have had issues with

your gallbladder in the past.

245

Might be something you want to consult

with a doctor or medical professional.

246

And I am not a medical professional,

so, uh, definitely seek out the correct.

247

You know, guidance on those.

248

I'm just speaking from

my personal experience.

249

Um, but yeah, so those are a

few different things you can

250

do to help benefit your liver.

251

And your gallbladder is to simply,

you know, consume some of these herbs

252

or supplements and to eat foods like

apples, carrots, beets, and then as

253

well, stay hydrated, staying hydrated can

really help your liver and gallbladder.

254

Um, and then.

255

In my personal opinion, because

some people don't agree with

256

this, but I do believe fasting

has benefits for the liver.

257

Um, so.

258

In my opinion.

259

Doing some fascinating is

good for the liver as well.

260

Consuming liver has been shown to

also be beneficial for your livers,

261

uh, the health of your liver.

262

So there's many things we can do exercise,

all the, you know, losing weight, all

263

of these are beneficial for our liver.

264

Um, and it's as with most things, right.

265

It's like, Drink drink water,

sleep well, exercise, eat well.

266

Like these are all the things that are.

267

Benefit our bodies anyways, but, uh,

specifically you can just stick with

268

the ABC apples, beets and carrots.

269

Um, as some foods that you can consider.

270

Beneficial for your

gallbladder and your liver.

271

And then as well, the fiber,

which lately I've been eating,

272

uh, more chia seeds than normal.

273

I've been eating a pretty

good amount of chia seeds, and

274

that's kind of been one of my.

275

Uh, big sources of fiber beans

are another great source of fiber.

276

Um, I've done a whole episode talking

about different foods that you can

277

eat that have high levels of fiber.

278

But overall.

279

What I would say about this

liver slash gallbladder cleanse.

280

I personally think that

there's nothing wrong with it.

281

I do think that it does remove

gallstones from your gallbladder.

282

If you have them.

283

Um, but I do feel that it's

a pretty intense or extreme.

284

Uh, cleanse and I think that

there's other routes to go.

285

Before choosing to go down that route,

you could do a lot of different things,

286

you know, consume different herbs, change

your diet up, take different supplements.

287

And, um, you know, you can really

benefit your liver in that way.

288

Instead of having to go down this path of

a pretty extreme cleanse, which, like I

289

said, In my opinion definitely does remove

gallstones, but, um, I'm no professional

290

and I have not obviously gotten a

scan done before and after a cleanse.

291

So I can't truly honestly say it, but,

um, from what I've seen, exit my body.

292

I can tell you it's pretty convincing.

293

So anyways, y'all, um, that's pretty much

it for today's gallbladder liver cleanse.

294

Um, this is kind of a little taste into

the episodes we're going to get into

295

with, uh, liver and gallbladder health.

296

Uh, so you can expect to hear more of

this, but a little bit more with the

297

emphasis on digestion and in what ways,

um, You know, the liver and gallbladder

298

are connected with our digestive system.

299

Uh, and then we're also going to get into.

300

Some things like malabsorption of bile

acids and, you know, kind of down a path

301

that I've been going, especially someone

who has dealt with, uh, digestive issues.

302

So.

303

Please stay tuned for those.

304

I think it's going to be a really,

uh, some awesome episodes are covering

305

gallbladder and liver health and their

connection with the digestive system.

306

And yeah, so hopefully

this was beneficial.

307

If you have ever been.

308

You know, curious in doing a

liver or gallbladder cleanse.

309

Um, like I said, this one

is a little bit extreme.

310

I would recommend reading

up on a few others.

311

People have very specific diets that

are good for the liver and gallbladder.

312

Uh, one of the foods that I forgot

to mention as well was bitter greens.

313

Uh, so when you have some kind of

a leafy green that's bitter, that

314

typically is good for the liver

and gallbladder, it tends to, um,

315

incite the production of bile.

316

Uh, so it will, you know, create more

bile and help that kind of flow happen.

317

But, yeah, so I would recommend

looking into some of these other liver

318

cleanses that are a little bit more

gentle, or maybe even just looking

319

into what herbs or supplements that

you could take or foods that you could

320

eat, that would be more beneficial

for your liver and your gallbladder.

321

Anyhow, that is going to

do it for today's episode.

322

I hope you all enjoyed it.

323

Um, I think that the gallbladder

is truly an unsung Oregon.

324

Like hero kind of, uh, as well

as the liver, the liver is

325

definitely gotten more hype.

326

Especially here recently.

327

Um, in the last few years, I think liver

health has been more, uh, spoken about.

328

Bye anyways.

329

I hope you guys enjoyed.

330

And I know this is something maybe

you didn't think about with digestive

331

health and all that, but, um, we're

definitely going to travel down this path.

332

So anyways, I hope y'all enjoyed.
