0:00.0	So today we want to talk about the gallbladder and relationship to intermittent fasting.
0:27.1	Some people have been complaining about gallbladder symptoms when they do intermittent fasting, and I'm going to give you some insights of why that could be.
0:34.1	First of all, let's cover the symptoms of a gallbladder problem. Usually you're going to get right-sided shoulder pain.
0:41.1	Now it could be up to the neck here, it could be out here, it could even be back here in this muscle right here.
0:48.1	It could be by your scapula, it could be by the mid back, but everything's going to be slightly on the right side.
0:53.1	You can even be on your head or jaw and cause even headaches on the right side of your head.
0:58.1	And then abdominal pain, mainly on the right side, underneath the right rib cage.
1:03.1	You'll feel a fullness of pain, feeling bloated, or you might experience burping or belching or nausea.
1:10.1	Now there's something that occurs in the gallbladder when you do a fast.
1:14.1	Now around 10 to 15 hours of fasting, you get this saturation of bile in the gallbladder.

1:31.1	And the gallbladder releases its bile to help break down fat.
1:35.1	So when you're not eating, it just sits there and it gets more concentrated.
1:38.1	But the maximum concentrated bile occurs between 10 and 15 hours.
1:43.1	And this incidentally corresponds with a lot of these symptoms that someone has when they start doing it a minute fasting.
1:51.1	So in other words, the bile gets thick and it kind of gets sludgy.
1:56.1	In other words, the bile gets thick and we call that gallbladder sludge.
1:59.1	And it can just cause pressure in this area.
2:02.1	So you might be concerned, am I going to get a stone? What am I going to do?
2:05.1	Realize that after this peak, it goes down.
2:09.1	In other words, your body starts thinning the bile as you fast longer or if you just eat.
