Thank you to our sponsor ⁠⁠The Primal Tallow Balms & Soaps⁠⁠.Dr William Davis discusses the fastest way to fix your gut microbiome with one microbe and an easy yoghurt recipe to help! Try Function and skip the waitlist using my linkhttps://www.functionhealth.com/PRIMALPODCASTFix Your Gut (Yoghurt Recipe):https://www.theprimal.com/lab/gut-microbiome-fix-your-gut-with-this-one-microbeDr. Davis's Book Super Gut:https://amzn.to/4hqejczMicrobes are microscopic organisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea. The body hosts multiple microbiomes, including those in the mouth (oral microbiome), on the skin (skin microbiome), and in the vaginal area (vaginal microbiome), which must be in balance.The good bacteria in your gut microbiome help strengthen your gut lining and keep harmful bacteria under control. But things like antibiotics, herbicides like glyphosate, junk food, medications, stress, alcohol, pollution, and smoking can throw your microbiome off balance. When that happens, it can lead to fewer neurotransmitters, blood sugar issues, bad bacteria spreading into the small intestine, SIBO, inflammation, leaky gut, and allergies.Dr. William Davis has come up with an incredible way to grow your own probiotics. His work is based on research by Dr. Irina Conboy, who studied the microbe L. reuteri and its effects in rats. Rats given L. reuteri had better fur, healed faster, built more muscle, showed more interest in mating, had a stronger immune system, and even showed anticancer benefits.What’s great is that these same benefits have been seen in humans, too!
