Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses a study on how Fasting affects the risk of developing gallstones. A high cholesterol concentration and low levels of bile form gallstones. The study involved nine healthy women who fasted for ten, fifteen, and twenty hours, and bitterness was extracted from their duodenum. The study found a significantly greater saturation at fifteen hours than at ten hours, but at twenty hours, it reverted. The conclusion was that fasting between ten and twenty hours may increase the risk of gallstone formation, but this effect is countered by a more prolonged fast. The video also mentions that the gallbladder stops concentrating at a certain point when fasting and emptying the gallbladder occurs, replacing the bile with a less concentrated amount. It is also mentioned that the Diet in the study included 95 grams of carbohydrates, which could influence the numbers as insulin, cortisol, and estrogen increase the risk of gallstones. The speaker has never heard anyone mention developing gallstones from Fasting and healthy keto. The video ends with a recipe for a keto-friendly immune system-building meal.

Summary of Description:
The video discusses the relationship between Fasting and gallstones. Gallstones can form with a high cholesterol concentration and low amounts of bile. A study found greater saturation at 15 hours of Fasting than at 10 but reverted at 20 hours. The study also found that the gallbladder stopped concentrating at a certain point during Fasting and might empty, replaced with a less concentrated amount of bile. The video suggests that staying around 20-50g of carbs on a keto diet could make a difference. The video ends with a disclaimer stating that this video is for informational purposes only and advises consulting with a physician before making any changes to one’s health regimen or Diet.

Introduction
In recent years, Fasting has become increasingly popular for its potential health benefits, including weight loss and improved metabolic function. However, some may wonder whether Fasting can increase the risk of developing gallstones. In this article, we will explore what gallstones are, the relationship between Fasting and gallstones, and some important points to consider.
What causes gallstones?
Gallstones are formed when cholesterol accumulates in the gallbladder and solidifies into hard deposits. Bile, a fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, helps break down cholesterol. Bile can form gallstones when it becomes too concentrated and lacks enough bile salts.
Fasting and gallstones
A study involving nine healthy women revealed that Fasting could influence the saturation index, a measure of the concentration of bile that reflects the risk of developing gallstones. The findings showed a significantly greater saturation at 15 hours of Fasting compared to 10 hours. However, at 20 hours of Fasting, the saturation level reverted.
Important points to consider
1. The gallbladder may stop concentrating on bile at a certain point during Fasting.
2. During Fasting, the gallbladder may be emptied and replaced with a less concentrated amount of bile.
3. The type of Diet you follow can also affect the formation and risk of gallstones. In the abovementioned study, the women were on a diet with approximately 95g of carbs. However, for those on a keto diet, a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet, it is best to stick to around 20-50g of carbs.
Diet
It’s important to note that not all fats are created equal. Healthy fats are found in foods such as avocado, nuts, and olive oil, whereas unhealthy fats are found in processed foods like fried foods and baked goods. Incorporating healthy fats into a low-carbohydrate diet can help prevent gallstone formation.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Fasting and gallstones are related to the concentration of bile. While Fasting may increase the risk of developing gallstones, there are ways to prevent this. These include following a healthy, low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet and avoiding unhealthy fats in processed foods. It’s always best to speak with a healthcare provider before starting any new diet or fasting regimen.

Today we’re going to talk about Fasting and gallstones. Gallstones are created from having a super concentrated amount of cholesterol with low amounts of bile. Bile breaks down cholesterol. If you don’t have enough bile, you could have a form of cholesterol that can crystallize into stones.
During a study involving 9 healthy women, researchers extracted bile from the women at different times while they were fasting. They were looking at the saturation index—the more saturated, the higher the risk of a gallstone.
They found significantly greater saturation at 15 hours of Fasting compared to 10 hours. But, at 20 hours of Fasting, it reverted.
There were also a few more important points mentioned in this study:
1. It looked like the gallbladder stopped concentrating at a certain point when the person was fasting.
2. There might be some emptying of the gallbladder during a fast, replaced with a less concentrated amount of bile.
The women’s Diet included about 95g of carbs in this study. But, with the keto diet, staying around 20-50g of carbs may be best, which could make a difference.
