Thiamine may be one of the most overlooked nutrients in modern health, yet it plays a critical role in energy production, nervous system regulation, and mitochondrial function. In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with wellness educator Bonnie Thiele to unpack the science behind vitamin B1 and why deficiencies may be far more common than most people realize. They explore the connection between thiamine and dysautonomia, fatigue, gut health, Parkinson’s disease, pregnancy complications, and chronic stress, while also breaking down the confusing world of thiamine supplements and derivatives. This conversation offers a fascinating look at how one nutrient can profoundly impact energy, resilience, and overall health.
Bonnie Thiele is a longtime wellness educator with over 40 years of experience in nutrition and integrative health education. She has worked extensively in the field of dietary supplementation and currently serves as a product educator for Ecological Formulas. Mentored by pioneering thiamine researcher Dr. Derrick Lonsdale, Bonnie specializes in educating practitioners and the public about the role of thiamine in mitochondrial health, autonomic nervous system regulation, and chronic illness. Her practical and approachable teaching style helps make complex nutritional science easier to understand and apply.
