In this insightful episode, Les Raymond sits down with Elliot Overton, a nutritionist and expert in thiamine (vitamin B1) therapy. Elliot discusses the overlooked importance of thiamine and its essential role in energy production, mitochondrial function, and overall health. He explains how modern diets, often high in processed foods and low in micronutrients, can lead to significant deficiencies, contributing to various health issues. From the connection between thiamine and carbohydrate metabolism to its impact on conditions like fatigue, neuropathy, and gastrointestinal issues, Elliot offers a compelling look at how optimizing thiamine levels can support well-being.


Key Takeaways:


The Critical Role of Thiamine (Vitamin B1) in Energy and Mitochondrial Health:

Discover why thiamine is essential for cellular energy production and mitochondrial function, with deficiencies often leading to chronic conditions like fatigue, neuropathy, and cognitive decline.

Processed Foods and Nutrient Deficiency: Hidden Health Risks:

Learn how diets high in processed foods can lead to micronutrient deficiencies, particularly in thiamine, which impacts the body’s ability to convert food into energy and maintain metabolic health.
