I have been through several courses of antibiotics following a major surgery in 2021. My intestinal microbiome has suffered greatly. I’m always interested in ways to get myself back in balance.
I also know some people working in nuclear power plants, so I was very interested in what Clif High had to say in a recent podcast about how l-reuteri and l-gasseri yogurt protects against ionization and radiation (something I’ve also dealt with).
After listening to that podcast (first 15 minutes, then he changes subjects), I did some research and found very interesting videos from Dr. William Davis. I’ve listened to his book “Super Gut” on Audible (currently on my second listen). I used his instructions on how to make the “yogurt” (very easy to make) and have been eating 4 oz. per day for about a week and a half.
So far the biggest thing I’ve noticed is the increase in my dreams and better sleep. I am able to remember my dreams, too.
The following videos explain the benefits of l-reuteri which are amazing. Also videos explaining the process of making the “yogurt”.
I have a Anova sous vide cooker that I use to keep the “yogurt” and precisely 100 degrees for 36 hours.
I’m making other yogurts presented in the book. My l-Gasseri probiotic should arrive in a couple days. I will then be able to have the combination described in Clif High’s podcast.
I was very surprised at all of the ailments that could be treated and healed by treating your microbiome using these different “yogurts”. I HIGHLY recommend the book “Super Gut” by Dr. William Davis.
I’ve included some longer videos below, that you can watch to see if you want to explore this subject any further.

We make yogurt using a special process to amplify the bacterial counts of a fascinating microorganism called Lactobacillus reuteri.
The two strains we use, in addition to causing release of oxytocin from the hypothalamus that leads to effects such as reduced skin wrinkles/increased dermal collagen, acceleration of healing, and increased muscle and bone density, also exerts unique upper gastrointestinal tract colonizing effects. This may be important in preventing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO, that is now occurring at epidemic proportions in modern people.
People also obtain deeper, dream-filled sleep, increased mental clarity and energy, and increased libido via the oxytocin boost that this microorganism provides.
The bacterial species, Lactobacillus reuteri, has been lost from the microbiomes of 96% of people in the Western world due to exposure to antibiotics, herbicides, pesticides, prescription drugs, etc. Restoring L. reuteri can yield spectacular health benefits from smoothing skin wrinkles to increased muscle and strength to increased empathy for other people, much of this achieved by this species’ ability to increase oxytocin.
Restoration of a microbe lost by the majority of people, Lactobacillus reuteri, causes the brain to release oxytocin, the hormone of love, affection, and empathy. It brings you closer to other people, helps you see another person’s point of view–it makes you a better human being. It also brings on what can be regarded as age-reversing effects: smoother skin, restoration of lost muscle and strength, deeper sleep, reduced appetite, accelerated healing, and other benefits.

Dr. William Davis is a renowned preventive cardiologist and author of the groundbreaking #1 New York Times bestseller Wheat Belly. He’s also written three other New York Times bestsellers and several other books including Undoctored, which is the book we discussed the first time he was on the show. Today we’re chatting about Dr. Davis’ latest book, Super Gut and his new approach to gut health. This strategy not only gets to the root of many diseases, but also improves levels of oxytocin (the hormone of love and empathy) & brain health + promotes anti-aging and weight loss.
