BMI (Body Mass Index) has been used for years as a measure of obesity and metabolic health. BMI can be very inaccurate for these purposes in many people.

Top 7 Foods Dense in Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) Prevent Neuropathy/Brain Fog Oct 04, 2026

Show notes

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is essential for healthy nerves, proper carbohydrate metabolism, mitochondrial function, and overall metabolic health. In today’s video, I break down the 7 richest natural food sources of Vitamin B1, explain how much thiamine they actually contain, and show you why so many people develop deficiency symptoms even while eating a modern diet. Thiamine deficiency can contribute to neuropathy, fatigue, brain fog, poor exercise recovery, and metabolic dysfunction. These are early warning signs that your cells aren’t getting or using enough B1. This video covers the strongest food sources, the most bioavailable forms, and how real-world diets can quietly deplete thiamine over time. Several of these foods are Carnivore Diet friendly sources of Vitamin B1 and all of them are Keto Diet friendly sources of Vitamin B1.
