Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. We're going to talk about restless leg syndrome.

Someone had a question and want to know more about it, so we're going to 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 thiamine 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 Krept cycle,

which is the energy production in the mitochondria,

if you're low in 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 neuritis 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 B11 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 going to 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 to that you start losing your ability to think salt problems and also have a good memory.
