Vitamin B1, who knew???!!!

Well, recent science has now told us that thete us a surprising Genetic Link between b1(thiamine) and bowel motility.

Here’s what scientists found:

Researchers analysed DNA and bowel-habit data from over 268,000 people and identified 21 genomic regions linked to bowel movement frequency — including 10 never seen before.

Vitamin B1 comes into focus
Two of the most interesting genes uncovered are connected to how the body transports and activates vitamin B1 (thiamine) — suggesting thiamine biology may influence gut motility in a new way we didn’t expect!

Diet + genetics matter
When researchers looked at diet info from the UK Biobank, they found that people with higher thiamine intake tended to have more frequent bowel movements, and this effect varied by genetic profile.

Vitamin B1 isn’t just for energy metabolism — genetics may link it to how your gut moves. This is a step toward more personalized nutrition & gut health strategies.

There are lakes, literally lakes of poisonous waste being created because of our broken relationship to food.

These drugs may reduce weight —
but their manufacturing footprint is chemically extreme.

The uncomfortable truth
These drugs are marketed as healthcare breakthroughs —
yet rely on chemical processes that damage fertility, threaten workers, and pollute ecosystems.
This isn’t anti-medicine.
It’s pro-accountability.
If a product improves metabolic health
but degrades environmental & reproductive health —
is that really “progress”?

• GLP-1 drugs use large volumes of toxic organic solvents

• ~14,000 kg of hazardous waste produced per 1 kg of active drug

One key solvent: DMF (dimethylformamide)
• Classified as reprotoxic (damages fertility)
• Absorbed through skin AND inhalation
• Linked to: – Reduced s***m quality
– Menstrual disruption
– Miscarriage
– Foetal toxicity
EU exposure limits (2023):
• Max airborne exposure: 6 mg/m³
• Max skin absorption: 1.1 mg per kg body weigh

These are exceptionally low thresholds — indicating high biological risk

Worker health concerns
• Waste flagged specifically for reproductive toxicity
• Cannot be safely handled without strict containment
• Increasing regulatory concern for: – Lab technicians

– Factory workers
– Chemical handlers
⚠️ Several solvents used are already restricted
⚠️ Others are under review for future bans

• Waste is too toxic for landfill
• Must be incinerated (high-energy, polluting)
• Creates: – Solvent-contaminated liquid waste
– Persistent chemical residues
– Long-term environmental burden
• Manufacturing is energy-intensive

• Scaling production = exponentially more waste
📈 Why this problem is accelerating
• Global GLP-1 market projected to reach $150 BILLION by 2035
• New factories being built by companies like Novo Nordisk
• Pill versions = more users, same toxic process

"Thank goodness you offer the remote sessions. I honestly can't find anyone in London who offers what you do specifically and you understood my symptoms completely and after the protocol you recommended, I was really well for almost 2 years."

Always good to hear from long ago clients 😍😍😍😍

One reasona is GABA

A lot of clients tell me they sleep better after a colonic — and the research actually backs this up.
When the gut is calmer and less inflamed, it produces more of the chemicals that help you switch off at night:

• GABA – the neurotransmitter that quiets the nervous system
• Serotonin – which sets your sleep–wake rhythm
• Melatonin – your natural “sleep signal”
When the gut is disrupted, these messages become irregular. When it’s supported, sleep becomes noticeably easier.
Sometimes the solution to poor sleep isn’t in the bedroom — it’s in the gut.

What Your P**p Schedule Reveals About Your Health

A major 2024 study showed something I see every day in clinic:
how often you poo is a direct reflection of your overall health.

🚽 The Healthier Mode: 1–2 times per day
People in this range:
Ate more fibre
Drank more water
Moved their bodies more
Had higher levels of beneficial gut bacteria
This pattern supports detoxification, energy, hormones, immunity and mood.

🚫 Too Infrequent (Constipation)
Linked with:
Protein fermentation in the gut
Toxin production entering the bloodstream
Stress on the kidneys and liver

💨 Too Frequent (Diarrhoea)
Associated with:
Upper-GI bacteria showing up in stool
Biomarkers of liver strain
Poor nutrient absorption

💡 Your gut can change quickly
Studies show the microbiome can shift in as little as 8 weeks with the right habits.
Your bowel habits are a vital sign.
If your frequency is off, your gut ecosystem needs support — and that’s exactly what I help clients with at The Happy Gut Clinic.
