Summary

The most important microbe can amplify the immune system, increase your muscle mass, and even help you live longer, but most people are missing it! Listen to this fascinating interview with Dr. William Davis as we discuss this missing microbe.

Please join me in welcoming Dr. William Davis, author of “Super Gut” and pioneer in research about the most important microbe called L. reuteri.

Rats given L. reuteri stayed young, active, and slender, and their fur remained thick and healthy as they aged. Their immune systems were amplified, and wound healing time was cut in half. Increased testosterone and growth hormone were observed in elderly mice, and the thymus was restored to its original size. Dr. Davis has seen all of these amazing benefits in humans!

Many people are missing this microbe! L. reuteri, like other Lactobacillus species, are very susceptible to antibiotics. Dr. Davis estimates that 96% of the population is missing L. reuteri, a major factor in the SIBO epidemic.

L. reuteri is a keystone microbe, which is important for the entire body’s ecosystem. It’s been found to increase the hormone oxytocin, traditionally regarded as the hormone of love and empathy. Oxytocin also influences body composition.

Many people experience increased muscle mass after consuming L. reuteri, which can be very beneficial in combating age-related muscle loss and many other side effects of aging.

You can make your own L. reuteri “yogurt” for its amazing benefits!

0:00.0	Today, we have an extremely important topic that revolves around the most important
0:06.3	microbe in our body.
0:08.2	And today I brought on a little top experts, Dr. William Davis.
0:11.3	So welcome, Doc.
0:12.2	Thanks for being on here.
0:13.4	Thank you, Dr. Berg.
0:14.2	Thanks for the invitation.
0:15.8	Yeah.
0:16.2	So you wrote a whole book primarily revolves around this one microbe.
0:20.6	And I want to just dive right in.
0:23.1	Your book is called Super Gut, which is a fascinating read. This microbe is called El Routurai.
0:27.8	Out of all the thousands of microbes in our gut, like what makes this stand out as more important
0:34.5	than the other ones? It's been around for 60 years. It's not like it was discovered last Tuesday,
0:39.9	but it was not recognized just how powerful this microbe was.
0:43.0	In fact, the first 40 years of research around this microbe centered mostly around what it did for babies.
0:50.0	That's important.
0:51.5	But it was shown to reduce, for instance, regurgitation of breast milk or formula,
0:56.5	reduced collic, you know, that kind of fussy restlessness and crying that babies get.
1:01.9	And that's about where it ended.
1:03.5	Maybe it abbreviated the diarrhea after an antibiotic, but it really didn't go much farther than that.
1:08.2	Until this group in Boston, MIT, stumbled upon some unusual effects because there had been some very preliminary cell culture type evidence, so very preliminary stuff, that showed that Rortoride might have anti-cancer effects, particularly in colon cancer.
1:25.4	So this group, very smart, very excellent research,
