If it seems that your vitamins are making nerve pain worse, the solution might be simple. Vitamin B6 is vital in neurotransmission, but must be converted to its active form through the liver. Unconverted vitamin B6 can accumulate in the body and affect the nervous system if your liver is sluggish, if you don't have enough bile, or if you’re low in glutathione. Inflammation, high blood sugar, and low magnesium can also inhibit your ability to make this conversion.

Most vitamin B12 supplements contain cyanocobalamin, which is useless unless converted into the active form, methylcobalamin.

Vitamin B1 is vital in supporting the mitochondria and the myelin sheath. Low vitamin B1 is a common cause of peripheral neuropathy.

Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 are water-soluble vitamins, so they can’t easily penetrate the brain and myelin sheath. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that can penetrate the myelin sheath to help reverse peripheral neuropathy.

Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that can help with peripheral neuropathy, support mitochondrial function, and improve insulin sensitivity.

Key takeaways:

1. Use the right forms of vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12
2. Don’t go over 50 mg per day
3. Ensure you have enough bile
4. Consume fermented foods
5. Make sure your insulin is balanced
6. Don’t forget about alpha-lipoic acid

The real danger in bread isn’t the gluten. In this video, we’ll explain why bread can be unhealthy, how it affects insulin and blood sugar, and what you can eat instead if you decide to stop eating bread.

Bread is mostly starch, which is a chain of glucose molecules. Even if the label says zero grams of sugar, that starch is quickly broken down into sugar in your bloodstream.

Wheat is in many of the foods people eat regularly: pizza, cereal, granola bars, and more. The average American consumes wheat almost every day.

One of the biggest problems with bread is the blood sugar spike. In some cases, bread can spike your blood sugar even more than table sugar, despite being labeled as having zero sugar.

Gluten-free bread isn’t always a healthier option. Many gluten-free breads are made with potato starch, rice flour, tapioca starch, or cornstarch instead of wheat flour. These ingredients can spike blood sugar just as much as, if not more than, regular sugar. The starch in bread doesn’t just affect blood sugar. It may also contribute to higher LDL cholesterol, fatty liver, and glycation.

When bread spikes your blood sugar, insulin is released to bring it down. But where does the excess sugar go? Much of it gets converted into stored fat in the liver and around the belly. Over time, repeated blood sugar spikes and high insulin levels can lead to insulin resistance.

While a small percentage of people have a true gluten allergy or sensitivity, for many others, the real issue with bread is the starch. Modern wheat has also been heavily hybridized and engineered to contain higher levels of gluten.

Once candida has built a biofilm in your gut, it takes 1000 times the dosage of a typical antifungal treatment to eliminate the problem!

A candida infection can progress through 3 phases:

Phase 1: Yeast
Phase 2: Chain
Phase 3: Filament

Conventional candida treatment is not very effective against phase 3 candida infections. In 2025, candida overgrowth affected 7000 people. It’s primarily a hospital superbug, with a mortality rate of 30-60%.

Candida overgrowth is often triggered by:

1. Antibiotics
2. Sugar
3. Stress
4. Antacids
5. Birth control pills

This candida cleanse protocol can help you eliminate candida overgrowth in 24 hours!

1. Starve candida overgrowth with a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting.
2. Destroy biofilms with Saccharomyces boulardii and NAC. Oregano oil can be used to kill candida directly.
3. Take a good probiotic and consume fermented foods with each meal. Consume a tablespoon of coconut oil to stop the growth of candida. Consume apple cider vinegar in water, 2 to 3 times per day.

8:47 Magnesium and vitamin D

Most of the magnesium in your body is inside your bones and cells. Only 0.3% of your magnesium is in your blood serum. One of the biggest mistakes people make when assessing magnesium deficiency is relying on blood magnesium levels.

Over 300 medications can deplete your magnesium levels. Other factors that can cause magnesium deficiency include the following:

• Stress
• Sugar
• Caffeine
• Alcohol
• High insulin
• Low stomach acid
• Low salt
• Low vitamin D

Here are 9 of the most common magnesium deficiency symptoms:

1. Anxiety/panic attacks
2. Waking up at 2 AM
3. Eye twitching (tetany)
4. Heart pounding after eating
5. Exhausted from thinking
6. Random chest tightness
7. Sugar or carb cravings
8. Wired but tired
9. Feeling heavy

Restless legs syndrome can also result from a magnesium deficiency.

Magnesium oxide is one of the most common forms of magnesium available, but also the worst! It has a 3% absorption rate and can cause diarrhea at higher doses.

Magnesium glycinate combines magnesium with glycine, a protein that supports GABA in the brain, and has an absorption rate of 80%. The best time to take magnesium is late in the day. When taking more than 400 mg of magnesium, spread your doses throughout the day.

To avoid magnesium deficiency, follow a low-carb diet, increase your stomach acid, and ensure you’re getting enough vitamin D.

6:39 How to fix high blood sugar

If you’ve given up sugar but your blood sugar is still high, this is for you.

The liver is responsible for producing sugar for the small percentage of the body that requires it. If you have high blood sugar despite removing sugar from your diet, it is either caused by a liver problem or a stress problem. Stress increases cortisol, a hormone that stimulates the release of sugar.

If you wake up in the morning with high blood sugar and did not consume any sugar the day before, this is known as the dawn phenomenon. This phenomenon is caused by a long-standing liver problem associated with insulin resistance.

To fix high blood sugar, do the following:

1. Low-carb diet
2. Stop snacking
3. Reduce stress
