Could Vitamin B1 Be the Missing Piece in Your Health? | Dr. Darren Schmidt, D.C.

Could a hidden nutrient deficiency be affecting your metabolism, energy, brain health, and overall wellness?

On this episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa sits down with Dr. Darren Schmidt, D.C., a chiropractor and nutrition practitioner, to challenge conventional thinking about protein, micronutrients, and chronic health issues. Dr. Schmidt explains why he prioritizes protein, how satiety may influence how much we eat, and why he believes vitamin B1 (thiamine) deserves far more attention.

They dive into B1 and mitochondrial function, whole-food vitamin C versus ascorbic acid, metabolic testing, microplastics, and ways to reduce everyday plastic exposure. Dr. Schmidt also shares the personal health crisis that intensified his interest in B1 and discusses his perspectives on keto, carnivore diets, nicotine patches, and long COVID.

This conversation is packed with provocative ideas to discuss with your qualified healthcare professional—and questions that may change the way you look at nutrition.
