In This Episode:
Your liver and your gallbladder are two important organs that are involved with the formation of bile. Bile is a digestive secretion that helps emulsify fat and as a result aids the digestion and detoxification processes. Healthy bile flow is absolutely essential for your overall health.

Chronic inflammation is the root cause of so many diseases! This is why Dr. Jockers has brought in an amazingly well-informed guest on the subject, Dr. Jay Davidson, as part of his Chronic Inflammation Summit.
Recognized as a leading foundational medicine expert, and known as “The Lyme Guy” for his expertise in natural protocols for Lyme disease and other related chronic illnesses, Dr. Jay Davidson (like Dr. Jockers) is all about seeking holistic solutions for those struggling with chronic illness.
Together they’re discussing liver issues. What is the function of the liver? How do we detox? What is bile?
Understanding the blood-bile barrier and how ‘leaky gut’ can cause itchiness and skin rashes is also covered, as are the anti-inflammatory bile acids, UDCA, and TUDCA.
This is honestly one episode of Functional Nutrition that you are absolutely not going to want to miss, as we learn about bio-active carbons and how best to give your liver the love that it needs, from understanding the science to the supplements and herbs we should be putting in our body to support it.
“I love this organ (the liver). It is the lifeline of the body. It is the detox system, essentially, of our body.“
– Dr. Davidson
