Description

Feeling sluggish after drinking? It’s not just in your head.

Alcohol depletes thiamine (Vitamin B1)—a key nutrient for energy, brain function, and metabolism. Even moderate drinking can lead to subclinical deficiencies, causing brain fog, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down:

  • How alcohol depletes thiamine through gut damage, diuretic effects, and increased demand
  • Why most thiamine supplements don’t absorb well—and what actually works
  • The science behind TTFD, a superior form of thiamine that crosses the blood-brain barrier for better cognitive support
  • How Cloud9 includes TTFD in Daily Restore and Rise & Unwind AM/PM to help replenish what alcohol depletes

🎧 Tune in to learn how upgrading your thiamine intake can boost energy, mental clarity, and long-term brain health.
