Q & A
Why is Vitamin B1 considered to be at the top of the list for creating noticeable effects compared to other vitamins?
-Vitamin B1, also known as Thiamine, is considered to be at the top of the list because it is intimately involved as a helper nutrient for the mitochondria, the energy factory in the cell. It is essential for energy production, and a deficiency can lead to noticeable symptoms such as fatigue, which is a clear and immediate effect on the body.
How does a high-carbohydrate diet affect Vitamin B1 levels in the body?
-A high-carbohydrate diet increases the need for Vitamin B1 because it is required to metabolize glucose. The more glucose in the bloodstream, the more Vitamin B1 is needed, leading to a higher chance of deficiency if not replenished.
What is the relationship between Vitamin B1 and the autonomic nervous system?
-Vitamin B1 is essential for the proper functioning of the autonomic nervous system, which controls the body's fight-or-flight and rest-and-recovery mechanisms. A deficiency can lead to issues such as gastroparesis, constipation, and problems with the stomach valves, affecting digestion and causing discomfort.
How can Vitamin B1 deficiency affect the peripheral nervous system and lead to symptoms like peripheral neuropathy?
-Vitamin B1 is necessary for the maintenance of the myelin sheath, which is like a protective coating around nerves. A deficiency can result in peripheral neuropathy, characterized by numbness, pain, or burning sensations in the lower extremities due to impaired nerve function.
What role does Vitamin B1 play in the production of GABA, and how does it affect mental calmness?
-Vitamin B1 is needed for the synthesis of GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and calmness. Supplementing with B1 can quickly alleviate feelings of nervous tension and stress, contributing to a positive mental attitude.
How can Vitamin B1 deficiency be related to conditions such as gastroparesis and acid reflux?
-A deficiency in Vitamin B1 can affect the nerves that control the stomach's valves, leading to gastroparesis, where the digestive system slows down, and acid reflux, where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and discomfort.
What are some symptoms of Vitamin B1 deficiency that are related to the autonomic nervous system's dysfunction?
-Symptoms related to the autonomic nervous system's dysfunction due to Vitamin B1 deficiency can include excessive or insufficient sweating, tear production, and temperature regulation issues, as well as intolerance to extreme temperatures.
How can Vitamin B1 help with conditions like restless leg syndrome and motion sickness?
-Vitamin B1 can help alleviate restless leg syndrome by improving nerve function and reducing the sensations of restlessness. For motion sickness, the calming effect of B1 on the nervous system can help reduce the discomfort associated with it.
What are some common symptoms of Vitamin B1 deficiency that are related to the eyes and brain?
-Common symptoms related to the eyes and brain due to Vitamin B1 deficiency include cataracts, glaucoma, brain fog, and issues with cognitive function. B1 acts as an antioxidant, protecting these areas from oxidative damage caused by high sugar levels.
Why is it recommended to take a natural form of Vitamin B1 instead of synthetic forms for long-term supplementation?
-Natural forms of Vitamin B1, such as Ali thiamine derived from garlic extract, are preferred over synthetic forms because they are better absorbed and do not contain harsh chemicals used in synthetic production processes, which can potentially have negative health effects.
How can magnesium deficiency affect the efficacy of Vitamin B1 supplementation?
-Magnesium deficiency can reduce the effectiveness of Vitamin B1 because magnesium is necessary for many of the enzymes that depend on B1 to function properly. Ensuring adequate magnesium levels can enhance the benefits of Vitamin B1 supplementation.

Transcripts
I would say out of all the vitamins that
I've have worked with and practice B1 is
at the top of the list as far as
creating effects there are many
different other vitamins or nutrients
that you take you don't really feel much
change at least initially but B1 is
different you usually see pretty quick
changes for a lot of different effects
and that's what I want to get into today
as well as talking about some of the
warning signs and how you would end up
with a B1 deficiency in the first place
B1 is intimately involved as kind of a a
helper nutrient for your mitochondria
the energy Factory in the cell and so if
you're deficient you're GNA have a hard
time making fuel you're going to be
tired okay that's a big symptom right
there and relating to that fuel in the
mitochondria you need it to burn um
glucose the more glucose that you have
running through your bloodstream the
higher the carbohydrates in the diet the
more B1 you're going to need or you are
going to run out of B1 really fast
because it's needed to metabolize this
Fuel and when you run out you can't burn
that fuel you're going to be tired now
what I mean by burning off glucose I'm
talking about like even using your own
stored glucose as glycogen in your
livers so even if you're on the
ketogenic diet you do still uh burn
glucose to a certain degree it's not
just completely 100% fat burning or
ketones um certain cells certain parts
of body need glucose and so there is a
different um levels of different types
of fuels that you'll use at any given
time so B1 is water soluble which means
it doesn't get stored in the body for a
long time like the fat cyle vitamins
like vitamin A d e and K so if you're
doing fasting right and let's say for
example you're under a lot of stress and
you're drinking tea all of these things
can deplete B1 and even if you have
inflammation you can use up more B1 so
if someone is a diabetic okay they're
going to have higher levels of sugar
chances are they're almost always going
to be deficient in B1 and this is why
one of the major symptoms from a
diabetic is peripheral neuropathies okay
so what is that that is a situation
where the lower part of your feet you
have this um
neurological problem whether it's
numbness extra pain burning that's
because you're low in B1 and that's
where it shows up first so you need B1
to build the milin sheath it's like the
coating let's see if you could see this
right here this little wire right this
is like coating around a wire so that
would be like myin around your nerves so
you need to be one to support that and
without that you start getting a short
circuiting uh neurological issues the
autonomic nervous system the main
nervous system that controls the flight
or fight mechanism and the recovery
mechanism and that's called the
parasympathetic and it's sometimes known
as is like rest and Recovery which works
through the vagus nerve needs be1 and so
there's a lot of conditions related to
this vus nerve B1 deficiency like a
condition called
gastroparesis where your digestive
system is just really slow it's just not
working food tends to stick around a lot
longer than it should this is why a B1
deficiency can create constipation and
part of these nerves also control um the
valves on the top of your stomach and
even the bottom of the stomach so if you
have a valve problem at the top of your
stomach you have what's called gird okay
so you're going to have like acid reflux
things like that you can also have
problems with the valve at the bottom of
the stomach and you can actually
regurgitate bile coming up into the
stomach and then coming up into the
esophagus and that can act as a very
powerful detergent and irritate the
lining of your esophagus all the way up
into the back of the throat where you
might have horseness or chronic cough
off and it can actually destroy some of
the connected tissue and as far as the
autonomic nervous system goes if you are
in this situation where you don't have
full sympathetic function you can have a
problem with excessive sweating or no
sweating at all excessive tears or no
tears at all so that has a lot to do
with your ability to adapt to your
environment like you might just get out
of the shower and all of a sudden just
break out in a sweat or if it's really
extreme you might stand up and feel
dizzy there's an extreme version of that
called pots where the body just cannot
tolerate gravity stress so you need be
one another common uh symptom probably
one of the most common one is you just
feel highly irritated this nervous
tension this buildup a pressure that um
it makes it so you don't have any
tolerance for stress at all boy does B1
work for that you give some B1 to a
person Within three minutes they're just
feeling calm B1 is needed to make Gaba
too and Gaba keeps you relaxed and calm
and I'm not sure if this next effect is
related to Gaba or something else but B1
is known to help someone just have a
positive mental attitude it's pretty
wild so if you have people around you
that are kind of Debbie downers or
negative people just slip some B1 into
their coffee there's also other uh
problems with the autonomic nerve system
that you can have blushing like getting
a red face uh easily embarrassed even
the regulation of temperature if you
can't tolerate uh extreme cold
temperatures or extreme you know hot
temperatures you probably need B1
typically if someone is B1 deficient
they're gonna have a tendency to be more
cold and it's going to be very
uncomfortable and in their minds they're
thinking oh thyroid but they might just
need B1 and by the way as a side note B1
helps thyroid cases if you're deficient
in B1 your pulser rate could go up as
well so if we think about it from the
Viewpoint of what causes the deficiency
of B1 like high carbohydrate diets or
diabetics what are the common symptoms
for that well anything related to the
eye cataracts glaucoma kidney problems
artery problems brain fog issues heart
issues nerve issues so B1 can act as a
very powerful antioxidant too to counter
some of the oxidation effects that this
sugar is creating on the kidneys on the
nerves on the brain and the eyes so if
you have cataracts or glucoma taking B1
would actually be very beneficial but
just realize that just getting B1 from
the diet probably is not going to be
enough especially if you're trying to uh
achieve a therapeutic dose to create an
effect so you'd want to take some B1
another interesting uh effect if you
ever if driving in a car and someone has
motion sickness give some B1 if
someone's trying to recover from a
canker sore give them some B1 so if
someone consumes a lot of sugar like I
used to consume a tremendous amount
you're going to get what's called
restless leg syndrome which can be
relieved with some B1 I'll never forget
I mean in the middle of the night I was
getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning
I'm pounding my legs like they are so
Restless they would just wake me up it
was miserable and I had no idea it was
connected to this B1 deficiency
and probably the bend and Jerry's didn't
help so remember more carbs more alcohol
more tea the less B1 you're going to
have now you could actually develop more
serious uh problems with a B1 deficiency
a severe B1 deficiency it enlarge heart
edema and swelling in the lower legs
mental confusion there's another one H
what was that
um uh memory loss n stigmas where your
eyes are kind of going back and forth
you sometimes you see that in children I
mean think about how many kids are
consuming so much sugar um and they're
highly irritated sometimes and they're a
bit agitated and Restless give them some
B1 but also cut out the sugar there's
something else called ATT taxia which
affects part of the brain and when you
walk you stagger right you're not
balanced anymore uh B1 can help that
condition hearing loss could be another
symptom of a B1 deficiency sleep apnea
is another one this is why taking B1
right before bed can greatly help you
with not just sleep apnea but also panic
attacks
nightmares anxiety and calming down that
excessive thinking that goes on before
you go to bed it's not going to give you
a lot of energy it's just going to
actually give you what you need to be
able to sleep now one thing that will
keep someone up at night is not being
able to breathe the respiratory centers
in your brain stem need B1 and when
you're deficient you're going to find
you're going to have difficulty
breathing and that could be the reason
why you can't sleep I remember in
practice giving people B1 and they're
just like wow I just feel like I can
breathe right now so it's interesting
breathing is going to help sleeping
anything related to brain fog uh B1 can
help and also um anything neuritis like
inflammation of the nerve especially
fibromyalgia now fibromyalgia if it's on
the right side think gallbladder taking
a remedy like B salts but if you have
fiomia all over the place take B1 as far
as the type of B1 I would would not
recommend synthetic unless you're doing
some type of short-term
detoxification uh because the synthetic
B1 uh the way they make it they use
hydrochloric acid sometimes
acetone uh they use ammonia and even
colar so you can't imagine something
that's made from that is like the same
as something from nature
I personally take it's called Ali thamin
okay that comes from garlic extract and
I will put a link down below for more
information on that another version of
the B1 is called benot toine now this is
a different uh form of B1 and yes this
one is made
synthetically but I've never had a
problem with it because it's not made
from colar and it's in a fat sble form
so they made this water cable B1 vitamin
into a fat cable vitamin so it can
actually penetrate U the nerves in the
bottom of your feet apparently it does
not cross the bloodb brain barrier but
if you have anything related to your
feet okay feet pain nerve pain I would
take botam another thing you have to
realize too when you take B1 if you are
magnesium deficient you may find that
the B1 doesn't work as well so you might
want to find a supplement with either
magnesium or even take magnesium
sometime during that day or just make
sure you're not deficient certain drugs
will create a deficiency of B1
metformin and diuretics certain
antibiotics if someone has a lot of
inflammation chances are they're going
to be deficient in B1 now if you want a
really good summary of all of the
functions of B1 I put everything in one
