hi guys dr. Berg here in this video I want to  talk about an interesting vitamin b1 and it’s  

deficiencies this is very common and it’s quite  interesting because it’s actually a helper factor  

or a helper vitamin in three main enzymes that  have to do with carbohydrates now when someone  

switches over to a ketogenic diet the whole  mechanism of burning fat in the mitochondria  

it needs a lot of b1 so you also need b1 in fat  metabolism as well so here are the symptoms number  

one nervous energy like this buildup of nervous  energy like you’re going to explode or you’re just  

very restless you can’t relax okay that’s number  one number two edema or swelling in your calf when  

you have enough b1 you don’t accumulate fluid okay  b1 also is connected to the heart as well numbness  

tingling in the hands or feet that relates to  diabetes simply because b1 is involved in the  

production of myelin the surrounding covering of  the nerves so when you don’t have b1 because you  

had too much sugar it strips off that you start  having neurological problems okay number four  

increase heart rate now the calcium also keeps  the heart in check but also be one does as well  

probably because the electrical connection to the  heart number five restless legs now you’re trying  

to sleep in your pound your legs I had this  problem for years I would literally get up in  

the middle of the night and pound my legs and go  exercise to try to get this energy out because of  

this driving me nuts so what’s happening is you  have this retention of lactic acid like after a  

workout you’re going to have less lactic acid and  it’s going to actually keep the energy into the  

lower part of the legs that’s a b1 deficiency b1  helps release that lactic acid it can also improve  

recovery time after exercise next one seasickness  or car sickness if you have that take more b1 that  

will help you nightmares if you have nightmares  or vivid dreams or your kids have that nightmares  

give them vitamin b1 that is the solution air  hunger so let’s say your can’t get enough air  

now it could be that your pH is too acid or like  an lactic acidosis or high lactic acid or it could  

be that you’re just b1 deficient okay so another  remedy for that so now what causes b1 deficiencies  

number one sugar okay hidden sugars refined grains  in sugars like juice things like that alcohol will  

do it liver damage like cirrhosis or a fatty  liver because you need the liver to metabolize  

a lot of these B vitamins stress will deplete  b1 caffeine will do it that would be like in  

tea as well too much of it birth control pills  anti acids okay so what is a solution number  

one cut the sugar out the grains the alcohol  stress right cut down the caffeine and add  

nutritional yeast to the diet make sure that’s  unfortified nutritional yeast because they put  

synthetic vitamins in there I don’t recommend  taking synthetic vitamins unless you’re doing  

a detox but as a maintenance get the natural  ones or concentrated nutritional yeast thanks
