we’re gonna talk about restless leg

syndrome someone had a question and want

to know more about it so we’re gonna

talk about it so restless leg syndrome

is a condition that I even had in my 20s

and I’m telling you it really keeps you

from sleeping it’s very uncomfortable

because the lower part of your body is

just it just has to move it’s just so

much energy in it so you have this

impulse to fidget you can’t relax

you can’t just be still so what causes

that is a deficiency of b1 thiamine

okay now thymine has many different

functions creates a lot of different

symptoms there are several possible

things that can influence this condition

one because b1 is involved in the krebs

cycle which is the energy production in

the mitochondria if you’re low and b1

you’re not going to make enough ATP

which is the energy currency that feeds

the nervous system okay number two

there’s a pathway that’s involved with

thiamine in the cell in the mitochondria

and if you don’t have enough b1 the

nerves start developing atrophy so they

start dying off you’re initially going

to have irritation in there before it

becomes damaged and the irritation would

be near itis or nerve pain which is

peripheral neuropathy which you see in

diabetics where the bottom of the feet

are tingling burning painful and then

numbness or you might feel it in your

fingertips so when you think neuritis

always think deficiency of b1 but over

time when it becomes chronic you lose

the function of those nerves like in

peripheral neuropathy where becomes numb

and basically dead but if this is

happening in the brain you’re gonna

first have excessive thinking and

analyzing everything to death and then

it starts going down where basically

you’re like okay where am I going today

you start losing your your ability to

think salt problems and also have a good

memory the next function a b1 has to do

with making this chemical called

acetylcholine acetylcholine is involved

in motor control this is like the

certain nerves that control the muscles

which are called a motor nerves and in

which case that you cannot see

still your body has to move so with this

condition it’s not just affecting

restless leg syndrome it’s affecting the

whole body where your body just cannot

be still and there’s various other

conditions that are very similar but

they’re labeled differently like

akathisia which is an irresistible urge

to move or another condition which is

tardive dyskinesia which stems from the

chronic use of certain psych drugs which

deplete vitamin b1 and so now you have

all these tics and weird motions in your

body that you can’t control this usually

is a b1 deficiency

why because psych drugs deplete b1 as

one of the things that it does and this

condition also relates to low amounts of

dopamine and guess what

in order to make dopamine you need b1

okay so if you don’t have enough b1

you’re not going to make enough dopamine

and then you have attention deficit

hyperactivity disorder where you see

this in kids they cannot sit still right

well guess what

they’re deficient in be 100 parents ever

told you to sit still and stop moving

but guess what it wasn’t your fault

it was just low b1 probably because

you’ve been consuming a lot of sugar as

a child because the refined

carbohydrates and high levels of sugar

like I consumed a tremendous amount of

my 20s created 2 b1 deficiency and then

gave me this symptom right here if you

know someone who has ADHD you want to

give them b1 zinc for sure folate and

EPA which is you can get this from fish

oil which is an omega-3 fatty acid in

fact the derivation of this word right

here comes from the Greek knot and then

to sit an inability to sit so in summary

without enough b1 you’re gonna have a

hard time just being there comfortably

sitting without the urge of having to

move the best source of natural vitamin

b1 would be nutritional yeast thanks for
