today I’m going to talk about the real

reason why you are tired and I have a

lot of experience with this because I

personally have been

tired for years probably decades before

I figured this out and so part of the

body that generates energy is the

mitochondria those are those little

energy factories which is also a

fascinating Topic in itself because

these mitochondria have their own DNA

which is just fascinating and the theory

behind of how mitochondria evolved is

basically this bacteria cell that

invaded our body and didn’t get digested

it formed a symbiotic relationship with

our own cells and now we give it a home

we feed it and it produces energy

because there’s a lot of similarities

between mitochondria and bacteria and

also another similarity between

bacteria and the chloroplast the stuff

that has the the chlorophyll in plants

that harvestes the sun’s energy it’s

kind of like the plant’s mitochondria so

our energy is generated from the

mitochondria and there’s a very very

common reason why the mitochondria might

not produce the energy I mean even if

you give it the right Fuel and that has

everything to do with a very key

nutrient called thymine or B1 which

really is the spark plug of the

mitochondria B1 is the essential very

important uh helper vitamin to help you

convert

fuel into energy not just to fuel energy

but to power all the different systems

in the body now I have a very good demo

just to help you understand what B1 does

okay because in a car motor you have to

have fuel and oxygen right but you also

need a spark plug if you don’t have a

spark plug nothing’s going to work in

this demonstration I’m going to use a

roadside flare okay and I’m going to

blow gasoline on this flame okay as you

can see right here I blow gasoline onto

the flame and it will help the flame get

brighter and of course I didn’t use

gasoline I used cornstarch right so

don’t try this at home and basically

this represents B1 is the spark plug to

allow this fuel to be burned in this

next part I want to demonstrate what it

would be like without B1 okay you can

see I have the fuel being blown on the

flame but basic nothing happens in fact

it goes out okay that would be running

your body without B1 okay so we have

these mitochondria right and there’s all

these biochemical Pathways that occur

and you need various things you need

fuel

and I’m talking about not just glucose

or carbs I’m talking about protein as

well as fats okay so B1 is necessary to

turn all three of those into energy and

give you your metabolism to run the

different systems of the body now

certain parts of the body have higher

amounts of mitochondria than others like

for example your heart has the most

mitochondria in the muscle and so if you

were to be deficient to be one your

heart would suffer and so and then

what’s going to happen you might have

arrhythmias you might have an increased

pulse rate to compensate you may have

cardiac failure you may have all these

issues and then we have the brain which

also uses a lot of mitochondria certain

parts of the brain anything that

requires a lot of oxygen okay and fuel

so if you’re deficient in B1 you’re

going to get brain fog you’re going to

have problems with your mood you’re

going to have a lot of neurological

agitation and so you’re going to feel

stress

more you’re going to feel nervous energy

built up especially because B1 really

helps power the nervous system and

another big part of the nervous system

is the autonomic nervous system okay

that includes both the flutter fight

which is the sympathetic part of the

nervous system

as well as the parasympathetic which has

to do with rest and digest so let’s just

talk about the parasympathetic first you

have something called Sleep pressure so

it’s an active thing that is pushing you

into the deep sleep cycles right well

that requires B1 sleep is not a passive

thing it’s an active thing where your

body has to be put into so you can rest

and repair so B1 is very very necessary

to go through all the different sleep

cycles and if you don’t have enough B1

you’ll have all sorts of sleep problems

from sleep apnea to a uh getting up at

two o’clock in the morning to nightmares

especially to having vivid dreams to

just getting up and feeling crappy now

let’s talk about digestion so if you

don’t have enough B1 you’re not going to

have the pumping action of the colon

peristalsis which relates to

constipation you can also increase your

susceptibility of getting something

called small intestinal bacterial

overgrowth now as far as how B1 affects

the sympathetic nervous system this is

really really interesting because it

will basically keep you in a flight or

flight mode okay so it’s going to be

really hard to recover from uh stress

and so a person that’s deficient in B is

going to be very reactive they can get

angry very easily and B1 will just

totally put the fire out and calm them

down and give them a sense of relief

this also relates to tolerance to other

types of stress like cold intolerance

now this also relates in a recent video

that I talked about taking cold showers

people that can’t tolerate a cold shower

are usually deficient in B1 and so they

get into this cold and boy they just

they just can’t tolerate that and the

same goes with intolerance for heat they

can’t tolerate being outside in high

Heats they just their bodies just like

shut down so if you’re deficient in B1

any little stress will affect the person

person a lot more and so if you can’t

tolerate being stuck in traffic for like

hours at a time or maybe babysitting a

lot of small kids you know at a daycare

center you may be deficient in be one

and that is my dry sense of humor if

you’re deficient of B1 not only are you

going to be tired but there’s going to

be a lot of other problems that can

occur like your fluid backing up as

edema I already mentioned high pulse

rate if it’s very severe you might have

a condition called pots and without kind

of getting into the details of what that

is it’s a situation where you have a

difficult time even standing up and you

get dizzy and there’s all sorts of

problems so pots is a very severe B1

deficiency so even like if you were to

get up very quickly and feel dizzy that

is a classic inability to tolerate

gravity stress and that usually is a B1

deficiency and especially going upstairs

or of incline where your legs feel

heavier

pink B1 deficiency shortness of breath

is another symptom

hypersensitivity for certain odors might

be a B1 deficiency and anything related

to recovery okay so let’s say you

exercise you just can’t recover and

you’re an athlete and you have poor

recovery think B1 and the B1 deficiency

can also Express itself as many other

conditions too like peripheral

neuropathy if someone’s a diabetic they

have numbness in the bottom of the feed

or burning sensation That’s a classic B

deficiency because B1 also helps build

the myelin sheath as well that’s a whole

different function B1 deficiencies can

also be a huge dent into your immune

system okay the mitochondria within the

immune system can get damaged and so you

have a poor immune system and especially

recovery after an infection if a person

is B1 deficient they’re going to have a

heck of a Time recovering from any virus

as well as certain vaccines that can

damage the mitochondria I put a link

down below but I can’t really talk about

it too much but you’ll be able to read

up on how a vaccine can deplete B1 and

affect someone’s mitochondria and to

give them all sorts of residual side

effects that are related to the

mitochondria so those are some of the

symptoms of the B1 deficiency but I want

to just touch on certain conditions that

set a person up for needing more B1 okay

now the more carbohydrates and

especially sugar that a person consumes

the more B1 that is needed so they can’t

just get by on a little bit of V1 they

need a lot of B1 to be able to

compensate for the demand for B1 if

you’re on a medications the requirement

for B1 goes way up especially

antidepressants and to anxiety

medication antibiotics diuretics

metformin and there’s a lot of other

medications so let’s say for example you

just don’t have a lot of energy and

you’re eating good but you’re on a

medication or maybe two or three or four

or more and you have all sorts of other

issues and doctor can’t figure out

what’s going on well you probably are

just so depleted to be one that nothing

can work so you’re not going to feel

good and what they’re going to do is

start giving you more medications to fix

this and that without understanding

where it’s really coming from the more

overweight you are the more diabetes you

have the more other health problems you

have chronic inflammation the more B1

you’re going to require and also if you

have any infection whatsoever the

requirement for B1 goes way up as well

the more alcohol you drink the more B1

you’re going to need unfortunately

medical doctors you know may check for a

B1 deficiency if you have a late stage

alcoholic situation other than that they

don’t usually look at B1 and if they do

find a B1 deficiency they’ll look in the

blood but they’re not really

understanding the demand that is

increased with all these other

situations so your demand is not just

about hitting the you know Bare Bones

rdas you need a lot more the more

insulin resistance you have the more B1

you’re going to need and I’d say

majority of the population has insulin

resistance now people that have

allergies or some type of sickness from

mold or mildew or some chronic you know

infection with viruses whatever

really need a lot of B1 because you have

this revved up immune system that’s

constantly sucking up all the B1 that

they have people with uh digestive

problems need more B1 because some of

your microbes make B1 and then pathogens

are going to compete for that last

little bit of B1 that you have and so

leaving you high and dry now I mentioned

some conditions that deplete your B1 but

there’s also other things that can

deplete your B1 the big one is that tea

and coffee and red wine so the more tea

coffee red wine a person has the less B1

they’re going to have of course the more

sugar they have refined sugar the more

B1 they’re going to need and so there

are things that are like anti-thymene or

anti-b1 alcohol would be considered one

metformin which is for diabetes sulfites

in wine as well as in dried fruit and as

a preservative it can deplete your B1

raw fish like sushi can actually deplete

your B1 as well unripened fruit can

create a B1 deficiency caffeine can

create a deficiency and stress also

sucks the B1 out of your cells and so

does seed oils seed oils like the corn

oil soy oil canola interfere with the

enzymes to allow B1 to be transported

and so with me the reason why I had such

fatigue for decades was because I was

consuming the refined carbohydrates not

to mention alcohol not to mention a ton

of coffee and just sucked all the B1 I

how to make and I wish I would have

known back then what I know now because

it’s so simple once you understand the

importance of thymine and also how

thymine gets depleted and by putting the

bee back in and correcting the

underlying Clause you can get your

energy back now to be totally

transparent I do sell a natural B1

product okay but I don’t recommend

buying that product unless you fix the

underlying costs and I’m talking about

your diet you’re talking about some of

these other things that we mentioned and

start consuming food that’s high in B1

so I’m going to give you a few things

that have high levels to be one okay

number one animal meats and the one that

has the most believe it or not is pork

and if you need pork I would recommend

consuming a high quality healthy type

pork salmon and other fish have a good

source of B1 sunflower seeds has B1

acorn squash eggs have B1 and

nutritional yeast has a good source of

B1 of course if you’re going to get

nutritional I would recommend getting

the source that is not fortified with

the synthetic version of B1 and so

anytime you take B1 don’t go for the

synthetic go for the natural now I did a

very in-depth

um I think extremely interesting

presentation at one of my keto Summits

okay and I want to put that up right

here because it totally covers

everything you’d ever want to know and

need to know about vitamin B1 check it

out I put it right here
