Clinical Protocol

7-Day Thiamine (B1) Restoration Plan

A nutrition strategy to restore Thiamine levels, critical for carbohydrate metabolism and preventing lactic acid buildup.

Protocol Objectives
Pork Power

Pork is uniquely high in Thiamine, containing 5-10x more than other meats.

Seeds & Nuts

Sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, and macadamia nuts are excellent plant sources.

Legumes

Beans, lentils, and peas provide steady B1 along with fiber.

Avoid Antagonists

Raw fish, coffee, tea, and alcohol can destroy thiamine or block absorption. Cook fish and limit tannins.

Protocol Guidelines & Science
Alcohol

Alcohol blocks B1 absorption directly. If you drink, you need significantly more thiamine than a non-drinker.

Carb Load

Metabolizing carbohydrates requires B1. A high carb/sugar diet depletes thiamine faster.
