Deep dives

The Importance of L. Ruderi

Lactobacillus rhamnosus, also known as L. ruderi, is highlighted as an essential microbe that significantly impacts human health. This microbe has been overlooked for years, primarily studied in infants for its benefits such as reducing colic and reflux. Recent research suggests it may also have anti-cancer properties, particularly in colon cancer, and its absence in adult populations could be linked to various health issues. The Boston MIT team observed that animals given L. ruderi displayed remarkable health benefits, including improved healing, increased testosterone, and youthful behavior, indicating its value beyond infancy.

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!
