| 0:26.1 | Vitamin B1 or thiamen might be a commonly overlooked deficiency. |
| 0:31.7 | And I'm very thankful to Elliot Overton, who came on the podcast today, |
| 0:36.4 | who's essentially dedicated his life, to |
| 0:38.9 | research and raising awareness on how this vitamin might be at the root of autonomic nervous |
| 0:47.3 | system dysregulation. So we're thinking things like pots, anxiety, depression, and through the |
| 0:54.0 | ANS affecting the vagus nerve and therefore motility, |

| 1:44.0 | excuse me. So we discuss |
| 1:46.3 | what thiamen or vitamin B1 is, how it functions in the body, and one of the main ways outside |
| 1:53.9 | of mitochondrial function is also through helping with creation of acetylcholine, one of your |
| 2:00.2 | chief neurotransmitters, which will affect |
| 2:02.9 | brain function, autonomic nervous system function, vagal function, gastrointestinal function. |
