1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to Stuff you should know 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: from house Stuff Works dot com? Hey, and welcome to 4 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm Josh Clark with me as always as 5 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: Charles W. Chuck Bryant. And that's uh, that's good, Chuck, 6 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: even just in jazz hands everybody, that's what you have 7 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: to do? That? Yeah, I think it's either that or 8 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: like pump your elbow right right, maybe like flick the 9 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: bottom of your chin like I can't wait to hear 10 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: your intro. Uh. Okay, I've been gnawing on this one. Okay, 11 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I have, I have 12 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: an idea. I'll try it, all right, this man get 13 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: edited out, all right? Probably not though, because it's not bad. 14 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: But Chuck, yes, did you know that? I think probably 15 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,279 Speaker 1: the worst thing humans ever invented? Not the nuclear bomb, 16 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: not saren gas, not reality TV. The second stall in 17 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: the men's bathroom, the second one in our bathroom, in 18 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: any public bathroom, what do you mean my second? I 19 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: think the worst thing that male human being can do 20 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: to another male, and I'm just speaking for my gender, 21 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 1: is to come in and sit down in the stall 22 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: next to an already occupied stall. You know what I mean? Second, 23 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: you just mean more than one? Yeah? Ok, the second 24 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: through infinity exactly. Yeah, I don't you know me, I 25 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: don't do that either. I know you are a courteous, 26 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: fine person who opens the bathroom door, sees one stall occupied, 27 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: turns around. I guess it's not my time. Maybe I 28 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: should go find another bathroom. There are other things you 29 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: can do, so you just hand of one thing, like 30 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: what what's the terminology we're gonna use here? I like poop? Okay, 31 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: Poop's fine with me. Two feces, fecal matter Okay, poop 32 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: is way like easier to I'm gonna say either swallow. 33 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: Excrement sounds gross, Yeah, excrement is gross sometimes the fun word. 34 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: I mean, this article uses the word fart. But I 35 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: haven't gotten the article. You are you still in my intro? 36 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: Uh So I think that that's a horrible assault on 37 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: a person's humanity to sit down and already occupiestall to 38 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: sit down in the stall next to it. Um, you 39 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: must hate the airport, but I don't. I don't us 40 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: just stall in the airport like I literally an emergency, 41 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: like tin guys pooping next to each other and every 42 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: airport never never, I think maybe one time in my 43 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: entire life. Anyway. Uh, I hate it just as much 44 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: as before. But now that I've read this article, I 45 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: understand what's going on next door a little better. That's 46 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: my intro. I like it. We're talking about the digestive system. Yes, 47 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: who we are, which there's some amazing facts right off 48 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: the bat that Melissa Jeffreys, who I'm not familiar with 49 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: her work, but this is a pretty quality article. If 50 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: you ask me to use the word for it she did. 51 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: I that may be the only article on the site 52 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: or that word comes in I find that. Is there 53 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 1: a no that's in the that's in this article, which 54 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: we'll get to that later. Huh. She also has what 55 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: I think maybe one of the best sentences on our website, 56 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: which is, h the digestive team is composed of a 57 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: bunch of hollow passageways that start at your mouth and 58 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: end at your anus. Pretty much does it all? Yeah, 59 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: Food goes in one end, waste comes out the other, 60 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: and we're going to tell you how. Yeah. But let's 61 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the digestive system, like how 62 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: long is it man about thirty ft. Yeah, that's good 63 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: long length. I mean, if you think about it, what 64 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: you're six ft five nine eleven okay, so five ten, 65 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: but your entrails are thirty ft long. That pretty impressive. Yeah. 66 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: And the one that nailed me was the oh I 67 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: know what this is. Yeah, the small intestines surface area 68 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: is the size of a tennis court. Yeah. So basically, 69 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: if you splayed your small intestine and if you put 70 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: it loose from the rest of your bowels, splaited it 71 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: and unfolded it because it's the folds that that gets you. 72 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: If you've straightened it out, you could pretty much play 73 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: tennis on it and it be regulation size. You've got clay, 74 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: asphalt and intestine. Alright. So the cool thing about this 75 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: article and the digestive system period is that there's a 76 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: beginning and there's an end. And they used ham sandwich 77 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: in the article, so let's go with that. Yeah, it 78 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: makes sense, like like basically we're going to now follow 79 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: what happens to ham sandwich the moment you not even 80 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: the moment you eat it, starting when you pick it 81 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: up and bring it to your mouth and it hits 82 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: the area where your nose can smell it and so 83 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: begin the journey to your anus. So, so we can 84 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: do this one man, I've done way way more tawdry, 85 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: potentially explosive topics in this man, we can do this. 86 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: I'm a shame that I'm a grown man and I 87 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: so uh you. As the sandwich comes to your to 88 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: your mouth, Um, your nose smells that ham right, and 89 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: it sends a signal of the brain. It says it's 90 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: chow time. Let's get this party started. And your brain 91 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: sends a signal of your salivary glands in your mouth 92 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: and they start pumping out saliva. Yeah. Like when you 93 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: say my mouth was watering when I smelled that, That's 94 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: exactly what's going on. It's exactly right, um. And I 95 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: think my brain is overactive. You know how people are 96 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: always like it sounds like Josh is eating a piece 97 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: of candy. No, I'm just I overproduced spit because I'm 98 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: always hungry and I can smell anything and be like, 99 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: well I could go for that right now? Well not 100 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: an right? Um. So you've got your mouth watering, your 101 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: saliva and the reason you salivate is because it has 102 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: digestive routines in it called with like amlas and Emily's 103 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: is the reason you don't lick your lips. Did you 104 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: know that? That's why your lips chap when you look 105 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: them too much, because you're actually destroying the very thin, 106 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: delicate skin of your lips with this protein that is 107 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: designed to break down food. Boy, my lips are a mess. 108 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: Always looking at him that man. Uh so, yeah, Josh, 109 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: the amlaise gets to work immediately on the carbs and 110 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: the bread. Uh. When you swallow, it's gonna go down 111 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: your throat, your farynx. Yeah. And we covered a lot 112 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: of this in the sword swallowing episodes, So if you 113 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: want to even more in depth, look at that. Go 114 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: listen to that one. Yeah, but it takes the same 115 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: path because you don't want a sword going down into 116 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: your lungs and you don't want bread going into your 117 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: lung So thank you. Epiglottis. It's a little a little flap. 118 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: It's gonna guide it in the right direction almost all 119 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: the time, unless there's a malfunction. Anytime you swallowed, the 120 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: epiglottis covers the trichia, leaving the esophagus to open up 121 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: except your spit or your bullus. Remember bullus is chewed food. 122 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: So your sandwich is no longer considered sandwich. It's bullus. Now, 123 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: that's right. And I actually choked last week on a 124 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: sandwich like Mama Cass, I did uh, and I uh 125 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: ended up blowing it through my nose for the next 126 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: ten minutes. Is it even possible? It is? That's horrific. 127 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: Something happened. I choked and coughed, and it, you know, went, 128 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: I guess entered my nasal passageway and I was literally 129 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: blowing sandwich out of my nose. It was not fun. 130 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: You have mustard, Okay, you're lucky it didn't have mustard. 131 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: All right, So now we are well. We got to 132 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: point out at the the top of the esophagus is 133 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: the upper esophical sphincter. At the bottom there's a lower 134 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: lower esophical sphincter, and they let food in and then 135 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: they let it right back out, which is exactly how 136 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: it should work. Right, And along the way, you have 137 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: these muscle contractions, remember called parastalis sees parastalsis parastalsis. That 138 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: is just basically like the rings and your esophagus and 139 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: rings and muscles contracting and relaxing, and they are contract 140 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: above and relax below and push the bowls down and 141 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: then when it hits that lower esophageal sphincter, that opens 142 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: up and it pops into your stomach, and parastalsis is 143 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: the key to everything. Yeah, throughout the entire process of digestion, 144 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: basically your whole, your guts and your stomach are just 145 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: like contracting and expanding and stirring things up, and it's 146 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: all just basically a bunch of spasmodic muscle contractions and 147 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: it will get the gird later. But if you have 148 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: heartburn or genuine gurd, then that means you're lower esophical 149 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: sphincter is not working right and some of your stomach 150 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: acid is getting back up in there right. As Melissa 151 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: Jeffreys puts it, you have a lazy lower esophageal sphincter 152 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: ingurd his gastro esophageal reflux disease. I've got it, a 153 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: k heartburn. Do you have it? My brother in law 154 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: had it um so bad that he they they first 155 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: diagnosed him misdiagnosed him with a panic attack because his 156 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: chest was so tight. But it hurts so bad that 157 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: it just like covered his entire chest and it felt 158 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: like a like a heart attack. That's what mine would 159 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: be like if I didn't take take my pill. That's awful, 160 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: Like a good boy didn't know that. Yeah, it's terrible. Um, 161 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: the way you have him sandwich coming out your nose, 162 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: you have bile and other stuff coming up into your esophagus. Okay, 163 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: I got problems with it with my digestive system. Let's 164 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: just say that. Okay, Okay, So we're in the stomach. 165 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 1: Uh in your stomach is gonna you basically basically, the 166 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: stomach is gonna get everything ready to go to the 167 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: next step, which is a small intestine by producing all 168 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: kinds of enzymes and acids to break stuff down and 169 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: also uh, mucus to coat the stomach, because the acid 170 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: would damage your stomach as well if it wouldn't for 171 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: this protective mucus. Yes, which is very good that that's there. Yeah, 172 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: and if you don't have the protective mucus or your 173 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: acid can beat your mucus in a wrestling match. That's 174 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: how you get ulcers in one way. One way. Yeah, Um, 175 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: twenty seconds, every twenty seconds to the stomach is going 176 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: to go through the parastalsis Yeah. I think you can 177 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: do that more frequently because I looked up why your 178 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: stomach growls, rumbles, gurgles, that's just the sounds of digestion. 179 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: The reason it happens when you're hungry is because your 180 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: brain is not only sent a message to your salivary 181 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: glands to start salivating, it's also sent it to your 182 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: stomach to start the digestive process because there's food to 183 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: come in. So that's why you gurgle when you're hungry. 184 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: It also happens when you eat too much or after 185 00:10:54,440 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: you've eaten. Your gurgling it's that's your stomach contracting, all right. So, uh, 186 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: if if everything goes well and all the stuff in 187 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: there can be liquefied in the clime and by the way, 188 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: don't google image that. Yeah, bolus converts to cime so 189 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: sandwich into bolus into kime now, and that's if it 190 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: can be converted into the kind which is liquefied. Um, 191 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: it's gonna get out of your stomach in about twenty minutes. 192 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: It's a liquefied blob. That's that's a good definition of time. Uh. 193 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: And not everything can can turn into kime though, so 194 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: that's gonna remain. It's gonna take a little longer. It 195 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: takes about an hour to get the more solid stuff out. 196 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: And that's not a liquefied blob, is more pasty, a 197 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: pasty blob. And it's not called time. That's called yield. 198 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: So you get the come in's out of your stomach, right, 199 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: it's now in the duodenum. Yeah, it's it's entered the 200 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: small intestine, which, as we said, the small intestine is 201 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: considered the small intestine because the circumference of it is 202 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: is narrower than the large intestine. But the small intestine 203 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: is broken into three parts, and the entire point of 204 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: the small intestine is digestion and absorption breakdown of the 205 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: food materials, and then the absorption of the particles that 206 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: are broken down. Right, So the first part of the 207 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: small intestine is what the duodenum is. How we're pronouncing it, 208 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: maybe do it in um. I think that's what I 209 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: was doing in my head, but I like duoten um uh. 210 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: And that that's basically a big burst of um enzymes 211 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: from the pancreas and the liver from the Yeah, and 212 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: it starts really breaking down food like the foods like 213 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: no more, no more, And then it leaves the stomach 214 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: for the small intestines, and it's like out of the 215 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: frying pan and into the fire for this stuff. That's right. Yeah. 216 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: The next two parts are the jum and the ilium, 217 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: and they don't do a lot of breaking down the food. 218 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: They mainly are absorbing the nutrients before you send it 219 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: to the large intestine. Yeah. And here's this is what 220 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: gets me, man, I love this UM. The large intestines 221 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: also about absorption to some parts of it are but 222 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: it's also the biggest function it provides is um preparing waste. 223 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: It seems like UM that I've always wondered, like how 224 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: do you get your nutrients oude of food? And this 225 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: article explains it. It's awesome, man, think about this. So 226 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: this breakdown process, and you have specialized enzymes, like some 227 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: enzymes from your liver are meant to break down like fats, right, 228 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: and proteins your pancreas is meant to break down like 229 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: um uh carbohydrates. So you have specialized enzymes that break 230 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: down certain things UM. And then you have billy, like 231 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: you said, these little tiny hair like projectiles that cover 232 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: the folds of your small intestines. And then you have microvilli, 233 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: which are projectiles on the small projectiles, and these things, 234 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: like you remember, taste buds are or taste receptors are 235 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: two into certain tastes. These things are attuned to certain nutrients, 236 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: so they pick up certain types of nutrients and then 237 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: absorb them through the cell, through the wall of your 238 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: intestines and into your bloodstream to be delivered throughout your body. 239 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: That is amazing. Is it's amazing. That's an amazing process. 240 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: I'm glad you're knocked out by this. And so basically 241 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: along the way this food is traveling down and like 242 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: it just gets hit by all like hit and run 243 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: by all these different proteins that just go into the 244 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: walls of your intestines, leaving what's left over. That's right. 245 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm just amazed by that. That's great. Uh. Now you're 246 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: in the large intestine um, the indigestible parts that is, 247 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: and this is the last stretch here you're gonna get. 248 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: You know, fluid is going to be extracted to produce 249 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: what you want in the end, which is a solid 250 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: fecal matter. You don't want it to solid. You don't 251 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: want it too solid either. That there's like a there's 252 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: a balance to ext and uh, the large intestine, you 253 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: know the bottom, there's three parts of that. The bottom 254 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: is that the scum, and the little appendix dangles off 255 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: the end of that. Then there's the ascending ascending colon 256 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: which goes up obviously, the transverse colon which shoots across 257 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: your body, and then it drops back down to the 258 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: descending colon. The first two sections salts and fluids are 259 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: absorbed from the food electro lights has electro lights, that's right. 260 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: And uh, also bacteria, good bacteria in the colon. They're 261 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: gonna ferment and absorbed fiber, which is that's how you 262 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: get your fiber. Yeah, it's pretty amazing, Chuck. We know 263 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: a little bit about bacteria. Remember the little video we made. 264 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: I don't think it's out yet. Yeah, about healthy bacteria 265 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: and how you have really good, like really beneficial colonies 266 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: of bacteria in your intestines. And um, if your bacteria 267 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: is not doing the trick or you lose it, you 268 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: can get a poop transplant, that's right, which is poop 269 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: taken from another healthy person, ground up in a blender 270 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: with uh sailing solution maybe, and then injected into the 271 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: ailing patient. That's right. Basically, get a good colony of 272 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: bacteria going in the intestine, which is a great thing. 273 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: It works, man, Uh, poop is going to move about 274 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: a centimeter per hour do your large intestine, so it's 275 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: a lot slower than your small intestine. And it does 276 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: this with the help of more mucus produced on the 277 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: inside of your large intestine to help the poop move through. 278 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: And then you know, at that point you basically have 279 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: one in the chamber. As they say, So that's the 280 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: that's the that's the path. Yeah, if you're if you're 281 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: a bite of ham sandwich, that's what happens to you. Um, 282 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: that's all you see. But there's other things that play 283 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: there's other factors. Are other organs um involved in this. 284 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: And I looked at the spleen spleens immune system. I 285 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: thought for sure the spleen had something to do with digestion. 286 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: It has like almost no role in digestion whatsoever. Basically, 287 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: the two big organs outside of the actual digestive system 288 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: that play a major role in digestion are the liver, 289 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: which by the way, makes up what two and a 290 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: half percent of your body weight? Did you know that? 291 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: I had no idea and do not look up cirrhosis 292 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: and google images either. Yeah, you realize, you know you 293 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: say that a lot. You tell people not to look 294 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: things up. You know that every time you do, people 295 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: go look things up. That's why I talk. Um. So, 296 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: the liver, like we said, creates bile, which is a 297 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: brownish yellowish fluid that's designed to break down fats and 298 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: proteins UM, and the liver stores this extra bilot produces 299 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: in the gallbladder. And you say, well, wait a minute, 300 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: I have my gall bladder taken out. That's worry. The 301 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: liver has it covered. It's just stores extra bile and 302 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: bile ducks, right, that's right. The pancreas. Pancreas creates enzymes 303 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: that are designed to break down things like carbs, I believe, 304 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: um also fats and proteins as well. But for the 305 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: most part UM the liver handles that. So basically, both 306 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: of these these organs are producing these proteins, they're shooting 307 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: them into your intestines, particularly you're small intestine, and um, 308 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: they're helping break down your food. That's right, But that's 309 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: not all. In parastalsis is helping this whole time. It's 310 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: making everything move around involuntarily contracting, relaxing. It's all about 311 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: and especially in the stomach too. It's basically like a 312 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: washer on the washed cycle. Yeah, you know, washing machine. 313 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: Glands are very important. If you didn't have glands, then 314 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: you wouldn't be secreting anything, right, and you need all 315 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: these juices, acids, enzymes. The glands basically start in your 316 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: mouth with saliva and go all the way you know, 317 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 1: through the stomach. Not I mean it doesn't go all 318 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: the way. I don't think you well an glands. I 319 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 1: think those are just in dogs. I don't think humans 320 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: have those, and not just in dogs. But you know, 321 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: I don't think we have a normal glance. You should 322 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: look that up. And hormones are really important, like super important. 323 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: They basically control everything. Yeah, as far as starting off 324 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: each process so well, a hormone it doesn't matter what 325 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: you're what your body is doing. A hormone is a 326 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: chemical signal, and specifically with digestion, you've got gastron um. 327 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: It tells the stomach to produce acid. Secreting um tells 328 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: the pancreas to do its thing. Same with the liver. 329 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: Um and uh, what is it talked to the stomach 330 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: so basically secret and says, go start secreting your juices, right, 331 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: And then c c K, which, if I may coali 332 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: cisto kinan, col colcist cold, colocister kinan. It was very close. 333 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: You're much better at pronouncing things than me. Well, I 334 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: look it up. C c K basically says, hey, pancreas, hey, 335 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: gall bladder, we need some more stuff, and they give 336 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: it to them. So basically, the hormones are running throughout 337 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: the body, saying you you you start. That's right, there's 338 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: food a foot. There are other hormones. And we covered 339 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: these grellan and pep tide y y, where do we cover? That? 340 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: Was that? And I don't remember, but I got it 341 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: totally backwards. What the first time we did it? Yeah, 342 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: I said that grellan um was the stomach signal that 343 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: it was full. It's the exact opposite means you're hungry. Yeah. 344 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: The stomach and the small intestine produce the hormone grilling 345 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: and that communicates to the brain to say, get some 346 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: food in here. Did we get listener mail on that 347 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: or a lot of it? And then pep tide why 348 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: why does the opposite says whoa we're very full, or 349 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: is I like call it peptide Why why I don't 350 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: eat until I hurt any longer? Do you? Uh No, Yeah, 351 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: it's just it's just I don't get it. It's so American. Yeah, 352 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: it just pretty growth. Yeah, peptide y y says, whoa, 353 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: we got enough to stop stop feeding fat boy? That's right. Uh. 354 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: Nerves play a big part um. Extrinsic nerves are in 355 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: the unconscious part of the brain and the spinal cord. 356 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: And here you know the main fun You got acetocoline 357 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: and adrenaline. The main function of a ctocoline is to 358 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: signal all this parastalsis, all this muscle contraction, and basically 359 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: adrenaline shuts it down when there's no food, saying you 360 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: don't need to keep contracting and relaxing and moving around. 361 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: Just take a take a chill, bill, right, And those 362 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: are conducted by extrinsic nerves, which are in the brain 363 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: and spinal cord. Right. The intrinsic nerves are located in 364 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: the actual guts. And what's cool is they circumvent the brain. 365 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: They're activated by basically the pressure of food in your intestine. Yeah, 366 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: I thought that was a little weird. Usually the brain 367 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: isn't bypassed. It's generally the seed of everything, agreed. So 368 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: you know that's digestion. We should talk about all the 369 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: stuff in your food. What it means like carbs. This 370 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: is this is the amazing part that I was talking 371 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: about earlier, where it's just absorbed. You know, this is 372 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: where it happens somewhere this molecular level. Carbs are broken 373 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: down by all these juices absorbed into the small intestine 374 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: and then eventually the blood um starch in the bread. 375 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: If you're eating bread, the same thing is going to 376 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: happen to that. But it's also going to produce a 377 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: byproduct called glucose, which will give you some energy. They're 378 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: in your liver. Yep, we'll give your whole body energy, 379 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: but stored in the liver at least it will give 380 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: your whole body energy eventually when your liver releases and 381 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: burns it. That's right, it's a car aren't a dirty word. Now. 382 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: You just have to be careful what kind of carves 383 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: you're you're taking in. Some are definitely better than others. 384 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: Complex carbohydrates are generally better than simple carbo hydrates. But remember, 385 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: you know not too long ago, everyone thought bread was 386 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: like an evil thing on the planet, all the stuff. Well, 387 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: if you want to lose weight really fast, stop eating bread. 388 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. Doesn't make it evil though. 389 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: That's one way. Um protein. Remember you've got um, so 390 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: you're you're specialized enzymes, some coming from the pancreas, but 391 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: most of it coming from the liver in the gall 392 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: bladder to break the stuff down ultimately into amino acids. 393 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: And the amino acids are what are absorbed and taken 394 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: throughout your body. Amino Acids are the building blocks of 395 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: all life, that's what they say. And then vitamins, as 396 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: my English friends say, you have an English friend, I've 397 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: got more than one. What do you collecting them? How 398 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: many English friends do you have? I got dozens. Vitamins 399 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: are there's a couple of kinds, water soluble and fat soluble. 400 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: B and C are the ones that are water soluble, 401 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: and they are easily absorbed along with water and the 402 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: small intestine. But they also are easily gotten rid of 403 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: past through your urine. And then you got the fat 404 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: soluble which we're talking about A D and K, and 405 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: they're absorbed just like fat. And then they are stored. 406 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: Once they're absorbed, they're stored. And uh, liposytes, I think 407 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: it's lipus sites like LiPo. You say liposuction or liposuction, 408 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: I say liposuction. Do you always go with the lie. 409 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: That's one I didn't look up. Actually, I looked up 410 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: all these other pronunciations. Lip sites like lipids, fats. Yeah, 411 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: they're like LiPo like lipids. Um. So that's it, man, 412 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: That's that's the digestive a process as it's ideally meant 413 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: to function. It doesn't always function like that though, you know, 414 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't function like that for me. Ever. There's a 415 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: lot of problems that can arise. Apparently you have all 416 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: of them. No, not all, Um, there's also some uh, 417 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: I guess impoliteness that can arise is just a matter 418 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: of course, just a normal normal doing business like belching. Right, 419 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: if you eat especially quickly, uh, you're gonna get a 420 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: lot of air trapped in your stomach or obviously. Yeah, 421 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: basically any anything that has to do with air getting 422 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: trapped in your stomach ends up as a belt or 423 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: burt because that's that's good stuff. That's how that's what 424 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: usually does it for me. Yeah, all it is is UM. 425 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: Basically your esophagus pushing this air from your stomach out 426 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: of your mouth rather quickly. Three to four burps is 427 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: normal after a meal. Yeah, anything more than that, you 428 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: might have an altar perhaps, or maybe you're just gassy. 429 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: Well gas is something different, all right, Yeah, we'll get 430 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: to that in a minute. UM vomiting, that's normal. It's 431 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: considered normal to vomit three or four times after each meal. 432 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: That's not true at all. That's very dangerous. Yes, vomiting 433 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: is normal if you have UM. It's usually bad bacteria 434 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: irritating your system and a signal ascent, Hey, you gotta 435 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: get this out of here. And it's really that easy. 436 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: He's ruining the party. Sure. I heard Jim Brewers a 437 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: little bit about all the different alcohol coming into your 438 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: stomach and finally like I can't remember which one comes 439 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: in and it's like everybody and I think that might 440 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: be what it is. UM. And then we talked a 441 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: little bit about GURD before. Chuck, you're one of twenty 442 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: two million Americans. You know that. I'm a good company 443 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: who has GURD seven a thousand trips to the hospital 444 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: each year in the US alone. Yeah, I don't I 445 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: just manage it to over the counter stuff and it 446 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: it handles it for you for the most part. But 447 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: it's not good to I mean my doctor told me, 448 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, this isn't good to live with this 449 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: for your life. So what are you gonna do? I 450 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: don't know. You get a new esophageal sphincter. I'm gonna 451 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: do nothing, like I always well, I mean, what can 452 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: you do? I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't know. 453 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 1: There are surgeries, but I don't know what you know, 454 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: how involved that is? I don't want. I will study 455 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: and you find the lowest price for surgery, I'll beat 456 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: it by half. What are you in Costa Rica? They're 457 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: big for a dentistry now Costa Rica like good dentistry. 458 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: That's a lot cheaper. How else do you get big 459 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: at something you gotta be really cheap? Um peptic ulcers, man, 460 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: that's another problem that actually we walked right past and 461 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: the ten scientists who used themselves as guinea pigs episode, 462 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: so peptic ulcers. You remember when when we were kids, 463 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: like Toms and roll Ads, was like I'm stressed out 464 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: or I got a lot of I got a deadline 465 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: at work I got. Yeah, not true. Ulcers. It turns 466 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: out are caused largely most of the time by a 467 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: bacteria called helio Bacter pylori H. Pylori. Uh. And there 468 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: was a guy in Australian um physician. I think he's 469 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: a physician, or at least a biologist, I can't remember, 470 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: maybe a bacteriologist. We'll find out. I'm sure this is 471 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: like listener mail on listener mail, that's how bad this is. Anyway, 472 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: his name is Barry Marshall, and he figured out that 473 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: it was H. Pylori that was probably causing peptic ulcers. 474 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: To prove it, he drank a culture of that bacteria 475 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: and then cured himself with antibiotics, and he developed heeptic 476 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: ulcers in the interim and showed like, yeah, that's what 477 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: it is. You want a Nobel Prize for it? Really? Yep? Wow? Uh. 478 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: Anti inflammatory sometimes can cause those as well, and I 479 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: think that's probably like an abundance of anti inflammatories. Really yeah. 480 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,719 Speaker 1: I don't think if you take like an anville you're 481 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: gonna get a peptic culture. But an ulcer of any 482 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: kind basically is something has gone into, uh, your stomach 483 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: and has compromised your stomach or your intestines and has 484 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: compromised the lining that mucus. Right, and while all those 485 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: acids are then allowed to eat through and you have 486 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: holes in it. It's right, not fine? Uh, stomach bug? 487 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: I get once a year once usually once? Which way 488 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: does it come out both at the same time. I've 489 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: you ever done that? I have had as awful. That's 490 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: so awful. Yeah, that happened to me once. Um, I 491 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: guess I probably get those, man, I would think more 492 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: them once a year. It seems like I need to 493 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: start paying attention. Yeah, yeah, I don't know it always 494 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: tell you next year. My my flu always comes by 495 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: way of the stomach. It seems like I don't I 496 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: don't have like the regular flu that much. It's right. 497 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: You don't you get like septic flus, that's right, peptic flus? No, septic. 498 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: Wasn't it like a septic stomach bug? Or I don't know, 499 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: you were green. I've never seen a human being green before. 500 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: Oh you poor guy, forgot about that. Lactose intolerant. I 501 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: am also that, yeah to a certain degree. Really yeah, 502 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: like if I eat pizza, yeah, then I'm having troubles. 503 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: So here, this is a rare try trifecta trivergence will 504 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: call it of this episode the cheese episode and the 505 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: gluten episode the Celiac episode, right, because in the Celiac episode, 506 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: I say, we were talking about casin, and I was like, casin, 507 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: that's probably just another word for lactose, and that's what 508 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: people are in taller enough. Well, that was totally incorrect, 509 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: as we found out in the cheese episode. Because the 510 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: cheese episode, remember, casin is the main fat and cheese 511 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: right right. Uh So now we're here and I'm correcting it. Great. Yeah, 512 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: all three are conjoined by mistakes and regret. Um, did 513 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: we even say what it was? Lactose? And taller means 514 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: you can't digest milk sugar? Yeah, lactose yeah, not everyone 515 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: knows what that is. Have you ever had the milk, 516 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: the lactose free milk. No. I drink a lot of 517 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: almond milk these days, though it's really good. YEA. Emily 518 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: is on the soy she's been on that food. Tell 519 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: her to try almond milk. I think it's better. I 520 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: don't think she ever wouldn't tell her to try it. Emily, 521 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: try it. I call it soy juice. So it bugs her. Yeah, 522 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: because it's not milk. It's well, coconut milk. It's considered milk. 523 00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: Don't you consider coconut milk milk that same thing, same thing, 524 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,239 Speaker 1: coconut juice. No, it's coconut milk, and everybody calls it that. Well, 525 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: everyone calls soy milk, soy milk. But it ain't milk 526 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: to me unless it comes out of a heat. Byson teeth, 527 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: Byson teeth. Um, all right, so we should cover the 528 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: other end of the problems, um, near your bottom end. 529 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: Like this is like ib D inflammatory bowe disease. It's structural, 530 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: not to be confused with IBF. Ib D is really 531 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: like I thought there was one I didn't have. I 532 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: was pretty excited there for a second. Um, there's two 533 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: types of major types of ibduh all sorts of colitis 534 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: and Crohn's disease. About six hundred thousand Americans or or 535 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: afflicted by this each year. And basically there are ulcers 536 00:32:55,280 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: in the intestines that lead to cramps, diarrhea, intestinal eating, 537 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: not fun. No did you know that there? And it 538 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: may be like local law in some place, but they're 539 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: trying to pass legislation that if you are a Crone's patient, 540 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: and you tell somebody, like in a public like a 541 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: business or something that doesn't provide public restrooms, that you 542 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: have CRONES and you need to use the restroom. This legislation, 543 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: this legislation would make it a crime to not let 544 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: a person with Crones disease seriously use the bathroom. No, 545 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: I think if somebody tells you I have Crone's disease, 546 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: that I guess they the assumption would be that you 547 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,479 Speaker 1: would just have to be a total jerk to use that. 548 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: But even if even if you are encountering a jerk, 549 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: it's worth having to put up with that jerk than 550 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,719 Speaker 1: to like not let a person with crones use your bathroom. Federal. 551 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,959 Speaker 1: That's last I heard. Here's the thing, though, You do 552 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: that and they're like whatever, dude, I don't I've never 553 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: heard of that. They kick you out right, so what 554 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: you can go back, can have them find or something. 555 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: But then no, it doesn't right then, But then the 556 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: news picks it up and start talking about it, and 557 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: then awareness develops, it starts. It takes a village. Um yeah, 558 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: IBS so IBD Inflammentary bowel disease is structural like there's 559 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: something structurally wrong with your intestines. Like you said, IBS 560 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: is functional where there doesn't appear to be anything wrong, 561 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: you know, have any cysts or there's not like a 562 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: hole in it or something like that, but it's not 563 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 1: functioning properly at all. So you have like cramps and 564 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: gas and yeah, just the whole, the whole nine um. 565 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: And it's apparently it's it responds to stress, hormonal changes antibiotics, 566 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: which makes me think that it would have something to 567 00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: do with that healthy beneficial bacteria colony in your when 568 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: they think your brain isn't communicating with your intestines properly, 569 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: but they're not sure. No, we don't know. So in 570 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: the meantime, people with IBS have to probably medicate. Do 571 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: we need to talk about Celiac? Well, no, go listen 572 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: to the sea how Celiac disease works. What was it called? Uh, 573 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: something about gluten? Should I not eat gluten or something? Yeah? 574 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: Good one, that's what it is called. Yeah, let's go 575 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: listen to that one. You'll learn all about celiac and 576 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: you'll hear my now famous mistake about casin flatulence. Whereas 577 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: Melissa Jeffrey says farting. Ah. The digestive process produces gases, 578 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: as we all know, methane of course, also a little 579 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: hydrogen and CEO two and uh. When the rectum senses 580 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: that there's some gas in there taken up space, sends 581 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: the signal to the brain. The sphincter relaxes and out 582 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: it comes, thank you. And what is normal? Uh, normal 583 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,959 Speaker 1: is something like three pints of gas per day that's 584 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: built up and then released in ten to twenty five 585 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: instances a day. A lot. I don't think I shoot 586 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: ducks that often. We should keep count. Okay, we'll start tomorrow, 587 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: start the first thing in the morning. But you gotta 588 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: give me like stay up all night though, And you know, 589 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: because it's some of some of the stuff happens while 590 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 1: you're sleep. Oh yeah, I hadn't. I hadn't considered set 591 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 1: up a microphone or a smellometer. Do you have a smellometer. 592 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: I do. It's attached to um my chest and it 593 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: shocks me every time. It's sense of something constipation, something 594 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: actually I've never been afflicted with. That's good, man, that's good. 595 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: That's what they call a reprieve. It is um constipation 596 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: is be straightforward and functionally. It just means that your 597 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: intestine is not moving very fast. I mean you remember 598 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 1: when you're in your lower intestine, especially in the colon, 599 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: the the caime or whatever it's called. By that time, 600 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: the waste is being stripped of water and salts um. 601 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: And if it makes too long, right, but also to 602 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 1: recycle that stuff um. And if it if it stays 603 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: in there too long, it can become dry and hard 604 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: and difficult to pass. Hard poop m than our household 605 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: hard poop. And then this one is so gross. And 606 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: then the opposite, diarrhea um is just the well, it's 607 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: just the opposite. It means you have an overactive lower 608 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: intestine that is passing stuff too quickly and is not 609 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: absorbing fast enough. So you have wet poop. And I 610 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: don't want to get into it. But there is a 611 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: thing called the Bristol stool scale and it is you 612 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: me's favorite poster in the world. There's ant like you 613 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: have the illustration of the digestive system. There is a 614 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:17,439 Speaker 1: medical illustration poster of like I think it's seven six 615 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: or seven different types of poop, from stuff that just 616 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: like is like nothing but floating fats to a very 617 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: hard like black poop and the different types are you 618 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: want to hit somewhere in the middle. Yeah. I had 619 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 1: a doctor to say once that soft service cream is 620 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: what you're looking for. I didn't. I always thought I 621 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: would be a little harder than that. Yeah, yeah, soft 622 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: service cream. I don't think so. I think your doctor's 623 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,720 Speaker 1: full of it. Well, this is one of those doctor's 624 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: fullest stool. This is one of those wacky dietician guys. 625 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's like, oh, you can you change everything 626 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: you eat? Which he's probably right. Probably. Um and diarrhea 627 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:04,399 Speaker 1: apparently happened um to most Americans about four bouts a year, 628 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 1: which I was astounded to hear that. How many a day? No, 629 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: I mean I just I figured people got diary and 630 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,399 Speaker 1: more than four times a year. Ye not not. Most 631 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: people don't need as much crystals as you and I do. 632 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: What does that mean? Oh, crystal crystal burgers, white Castle 633 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 1: for our northern friends. So our apologies to Crystal and 634 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 1: white Castle, and our apologies really to every single one 635 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: of your mother's because I'm sure you laughed at this. 636 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: We said poop a bunch of times to part you 637 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,760 Speaker 1: said the F word. Yeah, T was in there. Um, 638 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: so I'm glad everybody made it through this one. Good going. 639 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: Hopefully you learned a little bit about your own digestive system. 640 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,800 Speaker 1: It's a miracle how it functions.
