Summary
Did you know that microbes play a critical role in the production of neurotransmitters? Neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and GABA travel through the nervous system to regulate your mood. Ninety percent of all your serotonin is made in the gut.
The vagus nerve acts as a two-way highway between the gut microbiome and the brain. Depression and anxiety can negatively affect the gut microbiome, while problems with the gut can cause depression and anxiety.
The good bacteria in the microbiome maintain and support the gut wall and keep bad bacteria in check. Antibiotics, herbicides like glyphosate, junk food, medication, stress, alcohol, pollution, and smoking diminish the microbiome. This results in fewer neurotransmitters, an alteration of blood sugar, the migration of pathogens into the small intestine, SIBO, inflammation, leaky gut, and allergies.
Dr. William Davis has developed an amazing protocol for growing your own probiotics. Dr. Davis studied the work of Dr. Irina Conboy, who isolated the benefits of the microbe L. reuteri in experiments with rats. Rats given L. reuteri experience anticancer effects, a better coat, improved healing time, improved muscle tone, increased mating behavior, and an amplified immune system.
All the benefits observed in rats also proved true in humans.
To make L. reuteri yogurt, combine one probiotic tablet of L. reuteri, inulin prebiotic fiber, and 2 tablespoons of organic half-and-half, and mix into a paste. Once mixed, add a quart of half and half and combine thoroughly. Add this mixture to a yogurt maker and cook at 99 degrees for 36 hours. Consume a half cup per day!

| 0:00.0 | Is it possible that your depression or anxiety is coming from a missing |
| 0:05.2 | microbe in your gut? This video is going to blow you away. I'm going to share |
| 0:10.4 | some very new and powerful information on the gut microbiome and it's |
| 0:16.0 | association with your overall mood. |
| 0:18.1 | And I have a dynamite solution that I think you are going to love and it's a whole recipe and I'm going to walk you through it. |
| 0:24.4 | Let's just take digestive enzymes. Humans make 17 digestive enzymes. The microbiome makes over 60 digestive enzymes. And these microbes are the only thing that can digest fiber. We as humans do not have the ability to break down fiber. But microbes do, they take the fiber, they break it down into this certain |
| 0:46.0 | fat, and that's called the cedic acid that actually helps feed the colon cells. But there's also another |
| 0:51.0 | breakdown molecule that mimics ketones called buteric Buteric acid and one of the biggest things that microbes do in relationship to your mood |
| 0:58.2 | is contribute to the production of neurotransmitters. |
| 1:02.0 | Neurotransmitters are like hormones, |
| 1:04.0 | but they travel through the nervous system. |
| 1:06.0 | I'm talking about a serotonin, dopamine, gabba. |
| 1:10.0 | 90% of all the serotonin in your body is made in your gut. |
| 1:17.0 | And so we have also a highway between the gut and our brain. |
| 1:20.0 | It's called a Vegas nerve, and it goes two ways. So in other words you can have depression or anxiety |
| 1:26.7 | If your gut is not right and if you have depression or anxiety up here that will affect the gut microbiome. The gut |
| 1:35.6 | microbiome also has the ability to break down toxins, medications. They turn |
| 1:40.8 | certain antioxidants in your food into other amazing compounds that help us. |
| 1:46.0 | And what I really want you to know about this topic is that you have mostly good bacteria, |
| 1:51.0 | okay, and we also have some bad bacteria that's kept in check by the quantity of good |
| 1:57.9 | bacteria over here. And the good bacteria maintain and support the gut wall to prevent the bad guys from crossing over. |
| 2:06.0 | And so what happens when we have antibiotics, glyphosate, that's an herbicide, |
