In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, what if a single overlooked nutrient could meaningfully alter how we think about chronic illness? Guest Dr. Darren Schmidt (DC, nutrition-focused clinician) makes the case for the role of B1 deficiency, discusses environmental toxic exposures, explores mitochondrial dysfunction, and examines lactic acidosis as a framework for understanding complex disease patterns. We also discuss metabolic pathways, autonomic issues, and how clinical observations can challenge conventional assumptions.
