In this video, we’re going to talk about insulin resistance of the brain. Insulin resistance is a condition where your body produces too much insulin, but it’s not being absorbed by the cells. When your cells are insulin resistant, there’s plenty of insulin, but it’s not usable or available.

In the brain, insulin controls food intake and metabolism. It’s also intimately involved with memory and cognitive function. When you develop insulin resistance of the brain, or peripheral insulin resistance, it can lead to neurodegeneration, inflammation of the hypothalamus, and destruction of the hippocampus.

The damage from insulin resistance begins in the mitochondria, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) protects the tissues against symptoms of insulin resistance and prevents mitochondrial damage. It also protects the nerves and prevents peripheral neuropathy.

Korsakoff's syndrome is a condition characterized by severe vitamin B1 deficiency. Vitamin B1 deficiency leads to memory loss, dementia, and apathy. Vitamin B1 deficiency is often the result of a high-carbohydrate diet, excessive alcohol, liver damage, or chemotherapy.

Keto, intermittent fasting, and adequate vitamin B1 intake can dramatically improve insulin resistance of the brain. Look for a natural source of vitamin B1—nutritional yeast is one of the best natural sources of B vitamins.

For more serious conditions and neurodegenerative diseases like dementia, try taking benfotiamine around 4 times per day. Benfotiamine is a potent fat-soluble form of vitamin B1.
