In this video, I'll uncover the most important signs that you need to look for to determine
whether or not your pancreas is in trouble.
Many people are familiar with systems in the
body such as the cardiovascular system. You know what the heart does. You know what the
liver does. There's probably a good chance you're familiar with the gallbladder and some
of its processes as well but there's a certain gland that not too many people are familiar
with and that is the pancreas. And the pancreas really plays an incredible role in your overall
health and there's sufficient evidence to show that many people are struggling with
their pancreas health.
So that's why in this video we're gonna talk about the signs your pancreas is in trouble
and how to heal it naturally. As I said many people are struggling with the issues so stick
around to the end of this video but before we get started. I'm Dr. Zyrowski and welcome

So let's go ahead and kind of break down what the pancreas is because we want to talk about
the top signs as to whether or not you have some issues with your pancreas but what is
this whole thing with the pancreas. What is it? What does it do? So the pancreas is a
gland and it's about six inches long and it's located behind and below the stomach. In this
picture you see it right here, right out front but in reality we would see the stomach covering
it up and so it's below and behind the stomach.
Now it's part of the small intestines and it plays a huge role in your overall health
there's two major things that its going to do for your overall bodily functions. One
is going to function as part of the exocrine system and as part of the exocrine system
what it's going to do is secrete enzymes into the digestive tract. So you eat some food
it's going to help secrete some of those enzymes, those pancreatic juices as they're referred
to and as a result you're gonna be able to digest your food. It's going to release enzymes
such as lipase. Which is going to help you break down fat or amylase, which is going
to help you breakdown carbohydrates and there's even some enzymes released that help you breakdown
protein from the pancreas and so it plays an incredible role in your digestion.
Now imagine if your pancreas isn't functioning right. Which a lot of people have this issue.
Think about the things that will happen. Well you won't get proper enzymes as a result you
won't be able to digest your food properly. You know a lot of gas, a lot of bloating.
A Lot of issues will come out of it and you can start to think about all the people who
are actually having these particular issues.
Now it's also part of the endocrine system and what its gonna do there it's going to
secrete insulin. Which is a hormone that's responsible for taking blood are taking the
sugar from the bloodstream putting it into the cell. So let's say you eat some high sugar
foods, your blood sugar just doesn't go through the roof until you die, in shock. Essentially
your body is going to have the pancreas release some of that insulin. It's going to take that
sugar and shuttle it into this cell. Then it'll even help store it. So that once again
you don't go into some sort of shock and it also secretes a hormone called glucagon. Now
this is going to do the opposite. So the insulin is gonna help bring your blood sugar down
but the glucagon is gonna help bring your blood
sugar up. Let's say that your blood sugar is very low the glucagon will be released,
it will help break down the glycogen stores in the liver, help bring your blood sugar
up to a very stable level. Versus you're just dropping to a level that's very dangerous
and so we can also imagine if this whole process and this whole function isn't working correctly
in the body somebody's gonna have a rough road.
Right we're thinking type 2 diabetes, we're thinking people of insulin resistance. They're
not getting proper secretion from the pancreas with the insulin and then there's the people
who have the problem where they're going from hyperglycemia to hypoglycemic. They're kind
of all over the place. Once again this issue with the pancreas can cause a lot of problems
for us.
Let's go ahead and talk about the issue of fatty pancreas. Okay because this is an issue
that not too many people are talking about. We hear about fatty liver all the time but
we don't really hear about the fatty pancreas. Now the fatty pancreas is a big deal because
if we have 80 to 100 million people suffering from fatty liver and then from there there's
a good chance if you have fatty liver that you also have fatty pancreas. Then it's something
that we should really consider and let's talk about one of these studies I looked at.
It was published in the Journal of environmental health and preventive medicine and what they
did is it took nine thousand nine hundred and thirty-three subjects that they studied
in Japan. What they had found is that fat accumulation in the pancreas is a significant
risk factor for chronic pancreatitis. Okay because the whole thing was well; is fatty
liver a big issue. Well yes we know now that that is an issue because it can actually lead
to severe liver degeneration and then the question becomes well is fatty pancreas a
big liver.
Well what we have found is if the pancreas is fatty and then as a result it leads to
pancreatitis. Which may lead to pancreatic cancer in the future. Okay so that's a big
deal. Once again when this gland is highly inflamed it can't function as it's supposed
to. We're talking insulin resistance as I mentioned we're also talking about type 2
diabetes. We're talking about any type of diabetic who has a problem with their pancreas
because it's not functioning correctly.
If so many people are suffering from a fatty liver we can also draw the conclusion because
it's hard to know the different numbers out there. We can draw the conclusion that many
people are suffering from the issue of fatty pancreas
as well because of the poor quality diets that people are eating. Now when we look at
one of the top things that stores fat deposits in the liver and in the pancreas we're going
to look at something like high fructose corn syrup. This is very inflammatory and it's
highly prone to causing your liver and pancreas to have fat deposits within it.
Let's go ahead and talk a little bit further about pancreatitis because we had mentioned
that if you have this fatty pancreas issue it leads to pancreatitis. So one of the top
signs is going to be middle left upper abdominal pain. When we think about this it's going
to be the middle left upper abdomen. Right in here and sometimes this pain can actually
go and radiate round to the back. Okay a lot of people will misunderstand this for some
spinal pain but it’s in fact it's actually pancreatitis and so if you're getting this
issue right here, combined with some of these other you know factors. Some of these risk
factors you're eating a poor quality diet, you have insulin resistance, you have fatty
liver, you might want to take this very seriously.
Indigestion is also another symptom, nausea and vomiting, abdominal tenderness, unintentional
weight loss. So if you're losing weight and you have some of these other things that we're
talking about going on you want to take this seriously. Decreased cognitive function, bloating
in and distention. Remember it goes in and releases these enzymes. The pancreas is releasing
these enzymes when it's not functioning correctly because you have pancreatitis then it leads
to bloating and distension and then fever as well.
Okay so we have to take these different signs very seriously because in an acute stage of
pancreatitis it can be something you can reverse. Once you start getting into the chronic stage
of pancreatitis it can be very very devastating to your overall health because you can go
and create your irreversible damage and that's not something that you want to have.
Let's talk about some of the reasons this is happening, okay. First of all, I want to
mention gallbladder. One of the major reasons that people get acute pancreatitis is because
of gallstones and gallbladder dysfunction. As a matter of fact it's estimated that over
275,000 people a year are admitted to the hospital with pancreatitis. One of the top
reasons is going to be gallstones and gallbladder dysfunction but of course we just look at
how did we got there in the first place.
You know with this fatty pancreas and you know the gallbladder problem and fatty liver.
Well first of all it's gonna be lifestyle. Okay so we want to make sure that we're removing
grains. This is very important we don't want to be eating grains which are highly inflammatory
at this time and we also don't want to be eating all these carbohydrates that are also
going to raise up our blood sugar. It's very important at this time that we drop our blood
sugar down as we're trying to reverse inflammation and work on reversing this problem with the
pancreas.
We also want to remove sugar as I mentioned one of the worst ones is going to be high
fructose corn syrup but of course all the sugar in general should be avoided at this
time. If we want to fix this issue we have to go in and
remove sugar very important, and we also want to remove processed foods. Okay these processed
foods; first of all going to have a lot of the high fructose corn syrup in it but it's
also going to have all these different artificial ingredients. Highly inflammatory and likely
to just make this problem worse. Okay we have to clean up our lifestyle.
That's what I'm saying here. We have to clean up our diet, so important. Now nutritionally
there's other a couple of other things we can do we can add in things like n-acetyl
cysteine. This is very powerful for slowing down and reversing that inflammatory problem
there but it also is very good at boosting glutathione. One
of the most powerful antioxidants in the body. So N-Acetyl Cysteine is great for this
problem. Selenium, milk thistle, and alpha lipoic acid these are all very good. Now if
you go and you just do the nutrients here without the lifestyle you'll get some decent
results but you're not going to get great results.
If you go into the lifestyle without the nutrients you'll also get some pretty good results but
you'll get faster results when you add in the nutrients. Okay what I'll do is I'll put
a link in the description below to a different compound that we use called Liver Assist.
Clinically we use this in order to help with these issues. What you're seeing here is that
the same nutrients that help with fatty liver, that help with gallbladder issues are also
the same ones that help with the pancreas as well because guess what it's all connected,
they all function together and so when one has a problem the other has a problem and
so we can utilize these different things in order to help our pancreas drop down the inflammation.
And get the pancreas functioning well so we can reverse problems like insulin resistance,
type 2 diabetes and we also can fix a lot of stomach issues that many people are facing
as well.
Give this video a thumbs up share it with your friends, put in the comments section
below if you've ever heard of somebody having this issue I’d like to know how many people
you're aware of that have had this problem and then watch this video on how to fix gallbladder
health as well. You may be having some different symptoms and in fact it could be your gallbladder
that's causing them and this information can really benefit you.
