Poor gut health symptoms include low energy and skin issues, which are often fungal-related and linked to the gut microbiome. The gut contains good and bad bacteria, with an ideal balance of about 15% bad bacteria. However, herbicides, pesticides, processed foods, and gluten can kill good bacteria, leading to an overgrowth of bad bacteria. If the liver, kidneys, and colon can't process the excess bad bacteria, it manifests through the skin. The skin reflects the health of the gut, mirroring what is consumed. Therefore, one can assess gut health by observing the skin and bowel movements.

Number one, do you have an intolerance to digesting fat? When you eat fat, do you find that you get more bloating? That would be an indication that you need more bile. Do you find that your stool is light colored, like pale or even gray? Or does it float? Or does it leave skid marks? That could mean that you're low in bile. Do you find that after you eat, you're just not satisfied? Well, maybe because you're not extracting the fats to be absorbed to then tell the brain like, okay, I'm done eating. That could be a sign that you need more bile. If you have nausea or you have indigestion or bloating, those can be signs. Bloating, burping, belching are classic signs of low bile as well.

Those with IBD or other gut issues likely also have liver issues. IBD and IBS almost certainly involve dysbiosis, an imbalance of gut bacteria that worsens symptoms like bloating, gas, and inflammation. As these bacteria die off, the body tries to excrete them. Due to leaky gut, blood vessels lead to the liver. Inflammation and dysbiosis cause endotoxins to be flushed through the liver, potentially damaging it and affecting detoxification, bioproduction, mood, and energy. An overwhelmed liver can lead to systemic issues like brain fog, headaches, hair loss, and eczema. Therefore, if you have SIBO, IBS, or IBD, you most likely have liver issues.

Transcript emphasizes that the liver, not the digestive tract, should be the first check for digestive issues: 'The number one place is not to look to your digestive tract' and 'The very first place that we need to look is actually your liver.' It explains that 'Your gallbladder, if you still have one, is attached to your liver' and that 'Your liver makes something called bile and then that bile gets excreted or pumped out into your small intestine' after food leaves the stomach. It notes the liver's central role, citing 'I have called the liver the most overworked, underpaid organ in the entire body for many many years.' It lists indicators to look at: 'ALT, AST, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, albumin' and mentions liver-active hours 'between two and 4AM.' It ends with 'For more info, click the link below.'

Osteomalacia involves bones becoming very soft, possibly occurring on a massive scale subclinically. The speaker believes they had it in high school due to poor diet and vitamin D deficiency, leading to fractures. In osteomalacia, certain proteins don't develop well. Vitamin D controls calcium absorption by 20 times in the small intestine. There are two vitamin D systems: one controlling calcium and another that is non-calcium related. A vitamin D blood test will likely show a level of 30 or less, indicating the need to take vitamin D3.

Eye problems—macular degeneration or retinopathy or cataracts or glaucoma—"usually stem or get triggered from oxidation, high levels of oxidation, usually from too much blood sugar." This links to diabetics, where you see "so many problems with the eye or high levels of insulin." While "other things in the diet can affect the eye, but the big thing is the sugar," sugar is singled out as the main factor. The speaker adds that "the high sugar also will deplete you of certain nutrients as well." The overall view is that sugar-driven oxidation is a primary driver of eye disease, with nutrient depletion accompanying high sugar.

Dry eye can occur either because you don't produce enough tears or more frequently your tooth film is poor quality and it evaporates way too quickly. And this leads to that irritation, redness, and dry, gritty feeling like something may be stuck in your eye. Dry eye can be caused by age, contact lens wear, computer use, and just environmental conditions like weather. Also, getting poor sleep wearing makeup and just having a buildup of biofilms on your eyelids can also contribute to tear film problems. Three easy tips to try for dry eye include using an artificial tear throughout the day to keep the eyes moist. Two is to take frequent breaks from screen time and bleak your eyes more frequently. And three is to clean your eyelids regularly to prevent any biofilm buildup that can contribute to disruption of your tear film.

Yellow eyes, that is a jaundice situation. It's a liver problem. It could be a gallbladder problem where the byproducts of your red blood cells are backing up through the system, through the liver, and into the blood. And so if your skin or your whites of your eyes are yellow, that is definitely a backup of the liver and the gallbladder. And that is usually a deficiency of bile salts. Bile salts allow the flow of stuff through the liver and through the bile ducts. And if you don't have enough bile, this thickened cholesterol sludge tends to back up and you develop these white eyes. So a simple remedy would be to take some purified bile salts to open up this kind of clogged drain plug to allow the body to eliminate the byproduct of red blood cells.

This is the biggest telltale sign of acute liver damage, and this is something that you should definitely know, and it's called jaundice. And what jaundice means is that your skin suddenly turns yellow, and the eyes can turn yellow too, and that's called scleral icterus. And this could mean that the liver is acutely failing. And some common culprits of this include redosing on certain medications or herbal supplements, viral hepatitis, like hepatitis A or hepatitis B, autoimmune hepatitis where your own body's attacking the liver, or if you've had liver problems your entire life and you never really realized it, and this could actually be a sign that your liver has finally progressed to liver failure. If you have this, you should seek prompt immediate attention from your nearest emergency room because this could be a life threatening situation. Comment down below any questions you might have, and I'll try my best to answer them.

Cracked heels can be a sign of nutritional and metabolic issues. Specifically, the appearance of cracked heels is associated with a severe deficiency of vitamin B3 (niacin) or with a lack of omega-3 fatty acids. In the context of fat-soluble vitamins and essential fats, bile plays a critical role in helping to extract these fats from foods, including omega-3 fats. Because bile is required for the breakdown and absorption of fat-soluble nutrients, disruptions in this process can be linked to broader nutritional and digestive concerns. The observation presented notes that cracking in the heels is one of the early indicators of liver problems, highlighting a potential connection between skin symptoms and liver health. In summary, the sequence described ties cracked heels to nutrient deficiencies (niacin or omega-3s), the digestive/biliary role in fat absorption, and the possibility that such skin signs may precede or reflect early liver issues.

Glasses and contacts block the UV spectrum, weakening eyes over time, which is why they are sold. To help your eyes, the speaker recommends consuming pearl powder to feed and heal them. Astigmatism means the curvature of the eyes is off, so eye exercises are needed to train them. If you don't move your eyes in different directions, they get warped. Glasses with different curvatures are then prescribed to balance the warped eye. Astigmatism is the eyes compensating and struggling to see. Eye exercises and reduced use of glasses and contacts, along with pearl powder, may help.

So your body actually recycles bile because it is vitally necessary and important. In fact, it recycles it six to 10 times every single day. And on top of that, your liver makes bile. It's called primary bile salts and your microbiome makes bile. It's called secondary bile salts. Also, bile helps prevent SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. It competes for nutrients. There'll be less nutrients going into your small intestine because the microbes need them to survive. You're going to be deficient in nutrients. You're going to have a lot of gas, bloating, overgrowth of other pathogens, unfriendly bacteria. So bile salts have antimicrobial properties. So if you eat, especially like fiber or probiotics and you bloat, then chances are you can have SIBO.

When you give the eyes the right conditions, they have the ability to heal. Eyes need you to be well hydrated. Eyes need you to sleep for eight hours a night, ideally starting at about 09:00. Eyes also need you to reduce your technology time. That's one of the biggest eye weakness. The cells in the eye need nutrition. So that's high fiber, lots of fruits and vegetables. Protein. There's your legumes, your nuts, your seeds, and great fats because the membrane around every cell in the body is 50% fat. Your best fats are your avocado, your nuts, your seeds, and also a little coconut oil or olive oil.

I've been taking Pearl Powder for about two months, but I'm still having a little issues wearing my glasses. What else should I do? Little eye exercises if you're not doing them. If you don't train the eyes, then they also get weak as well. So a little bit of eye circles, very beneficial. Because what happens is we are looking at screens all day and just scrolling up and down and up and down, and we're never looking to the right. We're never looking to the left. We're never looking up. We're never looking down. We're looking just straight ahead on a scrolling screen. And what happens is those eye muscles get weak. So you can combine that with pearl powder. You can also do raw eggs. There's another one to combine with pearl powder. You can also get rid of LEDs out of your house. If you got too many LEDs in your house, they could be impeding your ability to heal with the pearl powder because think about it, while you're trying to feed the eyes, you turn on the lights at nighttime and you're blinded because LEDs are linked to cataracts. So that is another big one. Most people don't realize those LEDs, that's why the government gives them to people. So those would be a couple of tips and you can look into the book Light as Medicine by Jacob Liberman. He was an eye professional who wrote the book about how light heals. So spending time in the sun, very beneficial for your eyes. Too much time indoors, that's just makes your eyes get weak, that's what it does.

Here in The UK, about one third of the adult UK population have got it. 1) Excessive tearing: watery eyes can be a sign of dry eye syndrome. Oil and water balance—meibomian glands—coat tears to prevent evaporation. 2) Redness and irritation: chronic redness is a common sign of dry eyes due to inflammation; anti-inflammatory drops or tablets can quickly reduce redness. 3) Itching: one of the most common symptoms of dry eyes, about one in five patients; burning or stinging may occur. 4) Blurry vision after long screen time: screens double the risk; if the tear layer isn’t smooth, vision is blurred and may improve with blinking. 5) Persistent dryness or grittiness: corneal nerves; nerve irritation leads to gritty, sandy feelings; this could indicate dry eye syndrome. If symptoms persist, see your optometrist or eye doctor.

The speaker discusses color signs related to liver health and what they might mean. He states that yellow skin is jaundice and that jaundice is a liver problem. He then notes that if the skin is slightly orange, that could also be jaundice, or it could be pigment from consuming large amounts of carrot juice. He shares a personal anecdote from his late 20s, describing how he was drinking a massive amount of carrot juice and literally turned orange, explaining that this orange tint was just pigment coming from the carrots and not a liver problem. The speaker then mentions red palms, a condition called palmar erythema, describing it as a sign that there is something wrong with the liver.

The Peter Attia Drive Podcast

198 - Eye health—everything you need to know | Steven Dell, M.D.

Guests: Steven Dell

reSee.it Podcast Summary

In this episode of The Drive podcast, host Peter Attia welcomes ophthalmologist Steven Dell to discuss various aspects of eye health, particularly focusing on the anatomy of the eye, common eye conditions, and advancements in eye surgery. They begin by acknowledging the general ignorance surrounding ophthalmology among non-specialists, highlighting the importance of understanding the eye's structure and function. Dell explains that ophthalmologists undergo extensive training, including a four-year medical degree and residency, where they learn both surgical and non-surgical aspects of eye care. He emphasizes the collaborative relationship between ophthalmologists and optometrists, with the latter handling routine eye care and some specific conditions like glaucoma. The conversation shifts to surgical techniques, particularly cataract surgery, which remains a common procedure. Dell describes how cataracts form as a natural part of aging, leading to the clouding of the lens, and discusses the surgical process of removing the cataract and replacing it with an artificial lens. He notes that cataract surgery is typically a one-time procedure with high success rates, often restoring or improving vision significantly. Attia and Dell delve into the anatomy of the eye, explaining the roles of the cornea, lens, and retina. They discuss common refractive errors such as nearsightedness and farsightedness, and how these conditions can be corrected through glasses, contact lenses, or surgical options like LASIK and PRK. Dell details the differences between these procedures, including recovery times and potential complications, emphasizing that LASIK offers quicker visual recovery compared to PRK, which requires a longer healing process. The discussion also touches on the importance of eye protection, particularly from UV light, and the role of nutrition in eye health. They highlight the potential benefits of antioxidants and specific supplements in preventing conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration. Dell explains glaucoma as a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve, often related to increased intraocular pressure. He stresses the importance of regular eye exams for early detection and management of glaucoma, as many patients may not notice symptoms until significant damage has occurred. The episode concludes with a discussion on the integration of ophthalmology into broader medical practice, emphasizing the eye's role as a window into overall health. Dell advocates for increased awareness and preventive measures regarding eye health, particularly for children, and the need for regular screenings as individuals age.

The No.1 Eye Doctor: They’re Lying To You About Blue Light! The Truth About Floaters!

Guests: Joseph Allen

reSee.it Podcast Summary

Dr. Joseph Allen, a board-certified eye doctor, discusses common misconceptions about eye health, particularly regarding vision loss and the causes of under-eye bags. He clarifies that while aging does affect eyesight, lifestyle choices can significantly slow down deterioration. Stress, lack of sleep, and excessive caffeine can lead to eyelid twitching, a common issue linked to stress levels. Allen addresses concerns about blue light from screens, stating that it does not increase the risk of aging eye diseases, and suggests that moving devices further away can reduce exposure. He highlights a troubling trend: the rising rates of nearsightedness, projected to affect 50% of the global population by 2050, largely due to lifestyle changes, including increased screen time and indoor activities. Regular eye exams are crucial, as they can detect over 270 conditions, including diabetes and high blood pressure, often before patients are aware of any issues. Allen shares a case where he identified a serious health condition in a young patient during a routine exam, emphasizing the importance of proactive eye care. He also discusses the impact of diet on eye health, recommending a Mediterranean diet rich in green leafy vegetables and oily fish to reduce the risk of macular degeneration. Allen debunks the myth that carrots significantly improve vision, attributing it to wartime propaganda. Allen touches on emerging treatments like red light therapy for dry eyes and macular degeneration, noting that while promising, they require further research. He concludes by stressing the interconnectedness of eye health with overall well-being and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to preserve vision. Regular eye check-ups are essential, even for those who believe their vision is fine.
