Chapter 6 - Body Chemistry Repair Guide Part 1e
Episode Summary
In this episode, we continue the Body Chemistry Repair Guide Part 1 by exploring the intricate journey of food and liquids through your body-machine. Discover six key "garbage influencers" that help process what you eat and drink, ensuring efficient digestion and waste elimination. From chewing to producing bile, each step plays a vital role in maintaining balance and minimizing your body's inflammatory burden.
Key Topics Covered
1. Chewing (Teeth): The mechanical breakdown of food starts here, making chemical digestion more effective.
2. Saliva (Enzymes): Amylase in saliva begins breaking down starches even before swallowing.
3. Stomach (Acid): A critical acid bath further digests fibrous foods; too little acid can leave food undigested.
4. Pancreas (Enzymes): Pancreatic juices process proteins, fats, and starches in the small intestine.
5. Gallbladder (Bile): Produces bile to break down fats
6. Gastrointestinal Tubes (Transportation): Peristalsis pushes food through 15 feet of intestines, influenced by both diet and nervous system health.
Conversation Starter: How often do you think about chewing your food thoroughly? Has digestion or food sensitivities impacted your pain journey? Let's chat about it—share your experiences and tips on Substack!
