now you’ve probably heard of the vagus

nerve and the importance of it and

there’s all sorts of videos on it there

are certain types of therapy that people

do for the vagus nerve but I think in

this video it’s going to be very

important for you to understand the

number one reason why

your vagus nerve might not be working as

well as in a very important function of

the vagus nerve that you also might not

be aware of which is the production of

hydrochloric acid the acid in your

stomach is regulated by the tone of your

vagus nerve so this leads to a huge

chain of a lot of bad things that can

happen to your digestion but if you know

the Simplicity of how to fix it boy you

can turn things around real quick and

improve a lot of digestive problems okay

all right so what is the main

neurotransmitter involved in the vagus

nerve

acetylcholine and acetylcholine needs

vitamin B1 okay very very important and

V1 is a very common deficiency with so

many people because they’re doing too

many carbohydrates they’re going through

too much stress they might drink a lot

of coffee or tea there’s a whole series

of reasons why you might be deficient in

B1 if you don’t have enough B1 that

vagus nerve cannot make the hydrochloric

acid that you need and so just hear me

out on what happens when you don’t have

enough hydrochloric acid now there’s

other reasons why you might not have

hydrochloric acid let’s say you’re

getting older or you take an antacid or

you’re on antibiotics or you don’t have

enough salt in your diet regardless of

the cause that hydrochloric acid is very

very very important it should be between

one and three extremely acidic if it’s

not the correct pH the valve in the top

of the stomach won’t close so you’re

going to get acid reflux you’re going to

get GERD you’re going to have heartburn

okay that’s number one

and you may have also the hoarseness in

the throat as well because of the acid

and enzymes that are leaking up or

regurgitating up into your esophagus

literally dissolving nutrition you can’t

digest protein too well so the protein

you eat doesn’t break down into amino

acids and that can increase your risk of

getting allergies and give you bloating

and constipation and by the way a really

good remedy for constipation is vitamin

B1 why because it not only increases the

digestion because it increases acid in

your stomach it also increases something

called peristalsis or the pumping action

of your colon so without this

hydrochloric acid you don’t digest

protein you don’t absorb minerals like

iron like calcium like magnesium like

potassium so you become anemic you also

are more susceptible to getting H pylori

right which then can create gastritis or

an ulcer

just as a side note if you have H pylori

a really good remedy is sulfurophane

okay and it just what happens that

software thing is in cabbage it’s in

broccoli Sprouts it’s not a lot of the

cruciferous vegetables the other thing

you’re at risk for when you don’t have

enough stomach acid is stomach cancer as

well as an increase in pathogens going

right through the stomach into the small

intestine and what happens next is you

start to get microbes in the small

intestine you shouldn’t have a lot of

bacteria and because then you get this

thing called small intestinal bacterial

overgrowth

and then those microbes compete for food

so they start stealing nutrition and you

have a lot of bloating and gas and the

more fiber you eat the worse it is

because you’re getting this abnormal

fermentation and then the more

probiotics you have the worse things get

and this is all because you don’t have

that acid in your stomach to kill out

the microbes

the acid in the stomach also triggers

the release of bile the bile also helps

to act as a detergent to kill off

microbes in the small intestine that’s

why the only part of the small intestine

that can help you reabsorb these bile

salts it’s the very last part before it

goes into the large intestine it gets

absorbed and it gets recycled so you

recycle like 95 of your bile salts

because you need them as a detergent to

kill up microbes in the small intestine

as well as extract nutrients from your

food which you’re not going to do if you

don’t have enough bile because you don’t

have enough acid because you don’t have

enough B1 so now all this undigested

material ends up in the large intestine

boy there’s a lot of issues that occur

there because your large intestine is

not necessarily meant for a complete

digestion of proteins and these other

things ninety percent of all your

digestion occurs in the small intestine

the large intestine is more for

fermentation of fiber or recycling of

these electrolytes so you can imagine

that the now the large intestine is

stuck with this big job of trying to

digest things and you just have all

sorts of digestive problems you might

have gas diarrhea constipation and then

you might get inflammation okay that

then leads to leaky gut and then you

have immune problems and allergies and

food allergies

and potentially autoimmune problems but

other than that you’ll be perfectly fine

except for anything going on negative in

your digestive system instantly

translates to problems up in your head

okay because there’s something called

the gut brain access and if you’re not

digesting if you have these problems in

the gut you’re going to also have

cognitive problems and mood issues and

not feel good mentally take Natural B1

immediately you can get it from

nutritional yeast you can find a

supplement that has natural B1 but that

would be the first thing to do and that

just might solve all of these problems

okay now chances are you might be very

depleted with this hydrochloric acid so

you’re probably going to have to

replenish that because of how long this

has gone on

so the way to do that is start to take

betaine hydrochloride okay and you can

get that in the supplement and you take

don’t just take one take like at least

five and then you want to increase it up

to maybe even ten right for a meal

because

you might need a lot to create this

effect and you might have to take it for

a period of time to build up the acid in

your stomach there’s some other things

you might want to take if you have

gastritis or an ulcer like zinc

carnosine if you have sibo small

intestinal bacterial overgrowth you

might want to add garlic to the mix and

if you have inflammation in the lower

part of your gut you may need to do a

carnivore for a while because fiber from

vegetables

won’t work I only talked about one

purpose of vitamin B1 to increase the

the tone of the vagus nerve that B1 does

a lot more and if you have not seen my

video that I did at one of my Summits

okay

I put that up right here check it out
