Summary
Does your gut microbiome ever recover from antibiotics? If you understood what antibiotics really do to gut health, you might think twice about taking them. Find out about the biggest myth about your microbiome and the importance of human microbes.

Antibiotics, corticosteroids, junk food, and glyphosate can all wreak havoc on gut health. Antibiotics wipe out certain strains of good microbes from your gut microbiome, and they do not come back!
Some of the microbes that are wiped out are called keystone microbes. If they’re eliminated, it affects the entire gut microbiome ecosystem, putting you at risk for inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, allergies, and more.
A healthy microbiome means good immunity, low risk of disease, and sufficient neurotransmitters. An alteration of your microbiome can cause a cascade of health problems, including leaky gut, increased susceptibility to autoimmune disease, and SIBO. Polyphenols and fermented foods can help create a healthy gut microbiome.
Lactobacillus reuteri is missing in around 96% of the population. It makes seven natural antibiotics and increases the population of other good microbes. It may also help prevent SIBO and increase oxytocin.
Dr. William Davis created a yogurt-like product with L. reuteri using a long fermentation process. After consuming L. reuteri yogurt, many people notice the following benefits:
•Restoration of youthful musculature
•Increase in strength
•Increase in testosterone in men over 50
•Increased libido
•Increased immune response
•Accelerated wound healing
•Increased dermal thickness
•Decreased waist circumference
Without L. reuteri and other important microbes, fecal microbes could end up in the small intestine. This can lead to endotoxemia, which contributes to a range of health conditions.
Ingredients for L. reuteri yogurt:
1 L. reuteri probiotic capsule
1 tbsp inulin
1 quart half & half
To make L. reuteri yogurt, break open one probiotic capsule into a bowl and combine it with one tablespoon of inulin and two tablespoons (from 1 quart) of half-and-half to form a paste. Mix in the remaining quart of half-and-half and add the mixture to a yogurt maker for 36 hours at 99 degrees. Consume ½ cup of L. reuteri yogurt every day!

| 0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about the biggest lie or myth about your gut microbiome. This would be a |
| 0:06.0 | game changer. If you ask chat GPT, WebMD, or Google, do antibiotics permanently wipe out the microbiome? |
| 0:15.5 | The answer you're going to get is no. That is such a big lie. If you really understood what |
| 0:20.4 | happens when you take an antibiotic |
| 0:21.6 | or something to wipe out some of your microbes or all of your microbes, and the consequences |
| 0:26.1 | of what happens to them, you would think twice about taking antibiotics. Now, I'm not just talking about |
| 0:31.4 | antibiotics. I'm talking about corticosteroids as in prednisone. I took that every year for probably |
| 0:36.5 | seven to ten years from my poison ivy. |
| 0:38.8 | Junk foods severely destroy your microbiome. Another thing that was patented as an antibiotic, glyphosate. |
| 0:46.9 | That's the herbicide, Roundup Ready. I mean, I've had antibiotics my whole life, and I had no idea |
| 0:52.6 | that long-term effects that those create. Antibiotics wipe out |
| 0:57.1 | certain strains of good microbes from your body, which you had as an abundant microbe now was |
| 1:03.6 | replaced by something else. And that alteration is called dysbiosis. And chances are you have an |
| 1:09.9 | increased population of antibiotic resistant |
| 1:13.4 | microbes. I didn't know that. That's huge. And it's very important to know what those strains are |
| 1:18.5 | and to figure out how you can get them back. That's what I'm going to talk about today. |
| 1:21.7 | Some of the microbes that are wiped out are called keystone microbes. If eliminated, affects the entire ecosystem of your gut. |
| 1:32.0 | It can really put you at risk for all sorts of inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, |
| 1:37.1 | allergies, et cetera, et cetera. Now, before we kind of get into it too much, I think the really |
| 1:41.4 | important thing to know is that 99% of your genes are not yours. |
| 1:46.4 | They're microbial. You're mostly microbes. You have a much lower percentage of actual human cells. |
| 1:52.2 | So our bodies have like 20,000 genes. The microbiome has 3 million. So on one hand, if you have |
