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
