Have you ever wondered if your health issues might stem from something as fundamental as missing gut bacteria? Join me as I unveil a startling discovery that could transform your wellbeing: 96% of us are missing a critical bacteria called L-reuteri, and this absence might be sabotaging our health in ways we never imagined.
My journey began with a personal mission to reverse rheumatoid arthritis naturally, which led me down countless research rabbit holes and ultimately to a profound understanding of gut health. What I discovered was truly paradigm-shifting – our gut microbiome affects everything from our immune system to our emotional wellbeing, and even our capacity for empathy. The conventional medical establishment rarely discusses these connections, leaving many of us to navigate this territory alone.
L-reuteri is a particularly fascinating bacteria that acts like a "350-pound linebacker" in your upper GI tract, defending against harmful pathogens. But its benefits extend far beyond protection – it enhances skin moisture, increases collagen production, improves sleep quality, boosts oxytocin (the "empathy hormone"), and may even reverse certain aspects of aging. Yet you won't find it in commercial probiotics or yogurts, no matter how premium the brand. The solution? Making your own super-potent yogurt at home with L-reuteri starter cultures and allowing it to ferment for a full 36 hours – not the mere 6-8 hours of commercial products.
Before introducing beneficial bacteria, consider starting with cleanses to remove parasites, heavy metals, and harmful bacteria – think of it as preparing a wall before applying fresh paint. This comprehensive approach to gut rebalancing might be the simplest, most authentic path to vibrant health and longevity we've been overlooking. Get your L-reuteri starter on Amazon and check out my yogurt-making tutorial on my Rumble channel to begin your transformation today.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hello again.
This is Patti with Patti TalksToo Much, and today I'm talking
about a bacteria vital to ouroptimal health, and yet there's
a 96% chance you don't have it.
Hello, and welcome back to thePatty Talks Too Much podcast.
(00:28):
I have been looking forward tospeaking about this for quite a
while.
As many of you know, I havebeen reversing my rheumatoid
arthritis over the last yearthrough natural means, cleanses,
supplements and one of the keycomponents of my reversal
(00:55):
process has been rebalancing mygut.
It turns out and this has beendiscovered in recent years our
gut is really at the heart ofour overall health and also the
source of many illnesses anddiseases, and so over the last
(01:20):
year, I've gone down many rabbitholes, done a lot of research,
read a lot of books and immersedmyself in all of the things
that I felt I needed to know.
Basically, I was cooling myselfwith all of the tools and the
knowledge that I needed to beable to tools and the knowledge
(01:49):
that I needed to be able toreverse my rheumatoid arthritis
naturally, because, as you allknow, this is not readily
available information.
You really have to dig aroundand often as I've mentioned in
other podcasts sometimes it'smet with quite a bit of
resistance from our medicaldoctors who, as it turns out,
(02:11):
don't know a heck of a lot aboutnutrition, nutritional
approaches to health and in thenatural remedies for many of the
illnesses that we face.
So I did encounter that andknew that my doctor was not
(02:31):
going to be a resource forinformation.
I was on my own and if you haveendeavored to address some kind
of illness or imbalance,naturally I'm sure you've had a
similar discovery.
We are on our own.
(02:52):
We're not going to get a wholelot of support from the
traditional medical system.
Now there are some functionaldoctors out there, there are
some naturopaths out there thatare absolutely wonderful
resources and it's worth it tofind a naturopath who will work
(03:12):
with you and support yourendeavor to address whatever is
ailing you.
Naturally I wasn't so lucky, soI was pretty much on my own.
But I read so many wonderfulbooks and there's one that I
just can't talk enough about andthat is Supergut by Dr William
(03:37):
Davis.
Now he is the one who wroteWheat Belly, which is also a
great, great book, and heendeavored to write this book
because he found that eventhough many people had reversed
a lot of imbalances, disease,illnesses, by elimination of
(04:02):
wheat, especially in the West,where our wheat has been altered
and distorted and is nothinglike the kind of wheat, perhaps,
that our ancestors ate, butthat's a whole other story.
He discovered that many of thepeople he was working with were
still having symptoms.
(04:23):
They were still having symptoms, they were still having
difficulty and, as it turns out,there was much more to do in
terms of addressing andreversing people's conditions.
And so that is when he did hisown deep dive into gut health
and gut bacteria the goodbacteria, the bad bacteria and
(04:45):
so much he discovered along theway.
So one is that the majority ofus suffer with what is called
SIBO, which is small intestinebacterial overgrowth, or SIFO,
which is small intestine fungalovergrowth, and many people have
both.
(05:06):
So how do we know that we havean imbalance in our gut?
Well, I can tell you this restassured that you have some
imbalance.
If you live in the West and youeat the standard American diet,
you have a gut that's out ofbalance.
If you have taken antibiotics,chances are you have a gut that
(05:29):
is out of balance.
If you are somebody who takes alot of like ibuprofen and those
kinds of things, chances areyou have a gut that is out of
balance.
Western medications cause ourgut to be out of balance.
There are so many things.
Our food and the kinds oftoxins that are in our food
cause our gut to be out ofbalance.
(05:51):
Heavy metals cause our gut tobe out of balance.
Parasites cause our gut to beout of balance.
So in many cases, or in mostcases, there are multiple things
, multiple factors that arecausing our gut to be out of
balance, and when your gut isout of balance, you have an
overgrowth of the nasty,negative bacteria and the
(06:14):
squiggly things that don'tbelong there in the first place.
Then you start having symptomslike rheumatoid.
Arthritis is definitelyconnected to an imbalance of the
gut and often to leaky gut,which is when your gut lining
has become so thin, you don'thave the mucous membrane and so
(06:35):
a lot of the toxins are leakingout into your bloodstream,
causing systemic inflammation.
So there are many things thatindicate that you have a gut
imbalance If you have foodinsensitivities, we're not meant
to have food insensitivities.
We're omnivores, so we're meantto eat and our body is designed
(07:02):
to process what we eat plant,animal, et cetera and there are
so many people who now have gutsensitivities to things like
dairy to wheat, you get thebloating, you get the pain.
That is a gut imbalance.
If your gut is in balance, youwill not have food sensitivities
(07:25):
.
So something has knocked thebalance of your gut off so that
your body is responding in waysthat naturally we don't respond
to.
So food sensitivities, foodallergies, bloating, excessive
gas those are all indicationsthat you have a gut imbalance.
(07:46):
Even things like anxiety anddepression.
If you're suffering withanxiety and depression, chances
are you have a gut imbalance.
Yes, believe it or not, thoselittle nasty bacteria and
parasites are messing with yourhead and your emotions.
That's how powerful theselittle critters can be.
(08:10):
So there are many conditionsthat are linked to gut imbalance
and indicate that we have a gutimbalance.
If you have skin irritations,things like eczema and psoriasis
gut imbalances.
So there are so manyindications and yet what we do
(08:32):
is we go out and we get those.
You know, if you have excessiveheartburn, if you have bloating
, there's a pill for that.
Eczema, psoriasis there's apill for that.
Anxiety, depression there's apill for that.
And all that does is mask thesymptoms of something that is
much more central.
So in my case, I exhibited manyof these symptoms, so I had skin
(08:55):
rashes, I had the bloating, Ihad the food sensitivities, and
then there were a couple ofthings that didn't register
right away as related to a gutimbalance that I discovered
later.
One was that I had difficultygetting through the night in
terms of being able to sleep asolid eight hours without
(09:19):
interruption.
I often had difficulty fallingasleep and staying asleep.
I would go to sleep for a fewhours and then wake up.
So I didn't have a very goodsleep patterns and I did not
relate this to an imbalance inmy gut, and in fact, it is
another thing that I had that Idid not realize was connected.
(09:42):
I actually didn't know what itwas and that was an indication
of fat malabsorption.
My body was not processing fatscorrectly, and the way that you
can tell that this is going onwith your body is if you see a
fat ring around the toilet orlittle fat deposits in the
(10:06):
toilet when you go to thebathroom.
That's an indication that yourbody is not processing fats.
So that is all connected toSIBO and SIFO, and so I had all
of these symptoms and it was aclear indication that I had a
(10:29):
gut imbalance.
Of course, I was about to bediagnosed with rheumatoid
arthritis, and so it all justkind of came together All right.
So I decide I'm going to dothis, naturally.
What do I do?
It's connected to a gutimbalance.
What do I do?
It's connected to a gutimbalance, what do I do?
So my approach was first to doa series of cleanses, and the
(10:55):
rationale on this, you know, Ilike to use the analogy of, say,
painting a room or painting ahouse.
So you have, you know, some, asurface that is in desperate
need of a paint job.
You know the wall is a littledented and there are things
going on.
You know that are.
You know it's uneven, it's, youknow it's it's old, the paint
(11:17):
is peeling all of that and it'sjust, it's just a mess.
It needs a fresh coat of paint.
The last thing you want to dois just slap some paint on the
wall to mask what is going on.
So the wall will look somewhatbetter, but you still have the
cracks, you still have thepeeling, and the color that you
(11:40):
apply to it is not going to bethe true color because of all of
the dinginess and stains thatare underneath.
So I know that's kind of a funnyanalogy, but my father was a
painter.
I've painted just about everyplace that I've ever lived in
and so a painting analogy kindof comes up, because I know I've
had this experience of being sotempted to do the shortcut,
(12:05):
just going to put the paint onthe wall and call it a day, and
that is always a mistake.
So it's always best to go inthere to repair the wall, to
sand it down, to make it smoothagain, to chip away the paint
that's been peeling and to giveit a nice coat of primer.
(12:25):
So when you put that nice newcolor you want on your wall,
it'll be smooth and it will bethe true color, the color that
it's meant to be, not tarnished,not diminished because of the
stuff that the color that thepaint is trying to cover up.
So excuse that kind of awkwardanalogy, but I do think about
(12:49):
that when I think about how, howI would approach, how I have
approached and how I wouldrecommend anyone approach
rebalancing your gut is that itis important to begin with
clearing things out, cleaningthings out.
So if you have a gut imbalance,chances are you're going to need
(13:09):
a colon cleanse, and there arelots of them out there.
I would definitely start with acolon cleanse.
I would definitely do aparasite cleanse.
I would start also with a dailyroutine the parasite and the
(13:30):
heavy metal stuff is somethingthat you just kind of have to do
ongoing, because there's justso much in our environment that
it seems like it's not a one anddone so with parasites, and I
did a podcast on parasites andso you can check that out in
(13:50):
terms of kind of what I've doneand what I think works.
In terms of heavy metal, I usezeolite and I do it as part of
my daily routine.
I got a really good qualityliquid zeolite and I put that in
(14:10):
my vitamin mix drink everymorning.
So it's just part of my routineto keep the heavy metals at bay
, because we are we do live in atoxic soup, unfortunately, and
so we're kind of always exposed,it seems, no matter what we do.
And with the parasites, like Imentioned, it's not a one and
(14:34):
done, because if you haveparasites there you have to keep
going in, you know, becausethere's the adults and then
there's the babies and so, butanyway, check out my parasite
podcast if you want moreinformation on that.
So I started with starting thesecleanses addressing the
(14:54):
parasites, addressing the heavymetals doing a colon sweep,
because really you're sweepingeverything out, you're cleansing
everything out, and then partof any good colon cleanse is now
you're rebuilding it with thebacteria that it needs.
So you've kind of swepteverything out and you are going
(15:15):
through a rebuilding process.
So that is how I began torebuild my gut.
Now, in the process, though,like I said, I'm reading all of
these books and I did read supergut by Dr William Davis, and I
will say this that one of thejaw droppers for me is was that
(15:38):
there are just some bacteriathat don't exist, or exist in
very, very low numbers in ourbodies.
Obviously, our microbiome isgoing to change.
As we evolve and as humansmigrate to different places and
eat different diets, ourmicrobiome changes.
(15:58):
But one of the things thatthey've found is that when
they've tested indigenous peopleon totally different continents
, like the Hadza of Africa andindigenous people of Peru, what
they have found is that they dohave bacteria in common.
(16:20):
So there are these corebacteria that are needed for our
optimal health, and many ofthose core bacteria are missing
in our Western diet, and so theone that I really wanted to talk
(16:41):
about today is a bacteriacalled L reuteri.
Here's the thing about theyogurts and even the probiotics
that we take.
If you look, I actually I buy areally good probiotic.
I have a really good probioticthat I pay good money for and
(17:04):
it's great because it's gotthose bacteria in the billions.
That's awesome.
I need to keep it in therefrigerator.
That's a good sign.
The thing is is when you lookon the label, it does not have
L-reuteri.
If you eat yogurt, that's notgoing to be one of the bacteria
in the yogurt, no matter howgood that yogurt was or how much
(17:28):
you paid for it.
L-reuteri is kind of a hard toget bacteria.
You won't see it in a lot ofprobiotics.
I will say too.
Just as a note on the yogurt,even if you're getting the
yogurt that says prebioticyogurt, it's really been
(17:51):
cultured for about six to eighthours.
And a yogurt, in order to getfull of all of those wonderful
bacteria at the numbers that youneed for your gut, a yogurt
really does need to culture forabout 36 hours, and the
store-bought yogurts don't comeclose.
(18:13):
So store-bought yogurts, evenif they say probiotic yogurt,
they're really not doing thatmuch good for your gut.
You need a wide, wide range ofbacteria and at very high counts
, and the only way to do thatreally is to make your own.
So, and that's what I do, so,and I do have if you want to
(18:39):
check out my my how-to videos,if you visit Patty Talks Too
Much on my Rumble channel, I dohave a how-to video that shows
you how I make a super, superpotent yogurt with all of these,
these wonderful bacteria.
But just back to L reuteri.
(19:00):
Why is L reuteri such animportant bacteria?
Well, it does amazing thingsfor our body and, unfortunately,
96% of us don't have it in ourgut.
So L reuteri lives in the upperGI and it is like a super when
(19:23):
it comes to fending off badbacteria.
It's like a super 350 poundlinebacker up there in our GI
fighting off bad bacteria.
That's just one thing that itdoes.
How else does El Ruderi affectus?
El Ruderi is known for keepingour skin smooth and reducing
(19:49):
wrinkles.
It is known for enhancing oursleep, um so uh, I definitely
(20:26):
sleep more soundly now, and so,just referring to this book,
which I highly recommend,supergut, I want to just read to
you what the author says aboutmaking yogurt with L-reuteri.
The L-reuteri culture increasedskin moisture, increased dermal
collagen, accelerated healingand restoration of youthful
(21:06):
muscle that in total amount toan age-reversing effect.
Recall that the oxytocin boostyou receive with this yogurt
also increases feelings ofempathy and that the colonizing
effect in the upper GI tractalso provides protection against
(21:29):
SIBO and SIFO reoccurrence.
So this is a powerhouse culture.
This is a powerhouse bacteriathat so few of us have.
So we are not getting thebenefit of that.
And I think about the empathyfactor.
(21:51):
I think about what if balancingour gut means that we can be
more empathetic to each other,less angry online?
How polarized our world is andour culture is right now.
Could it be that if werebalanced our gut, we would be
(22:11):
a little bit more empathetic toeach other?
It's a stretch actually tothink about, but I've come to
believe that our gut is far moreimportant than we have been led
to believe.
When you can reduce anxietyattacks and depression by
(22:35):
balancing your gut, that signalsto me that there's a heck of a
lot more going on here thanwe've been taught.
So I highly recommend that youread this book and you learn
more about El Ruderi.
(22:56):
You learn more about makingyour own yogurt and rebalancing
your gut.
If you have any of thesesymptoms that are associated
with SIBO and SIFO, it's reallyin your best interest to begin
rebalancing your gut.
(23:17):
So if it's true that L-reuteriyogurt can literally unlock a
reversal also in the agingprocess, in terms of our skin,
in terms of our outlook, interms of our libido, in terms of
all the things that seem tofall away as we age, if
(23:43):
L-reuteri could revitalize thosethings, just as it has done in
research with lab rats, believeit or not then is it possible
for us to be able to live longer?
If we simply rebalance our gutand make sure that we have the
(24:10):
right bacteria in our gut, thatwe eliminate the destructive
bacteria, the heavy metals andthe parasites.
Those seem to me to be keys toliving a long and healthy life.
So, with all of this anti-agingstuff out there, all the things
(24:31):
we can do topically, all thethings we can do surgically, can
it literally be much simplerthan that?
Can it literally be muchsimpler than that?
What if we just rebalanced ourgut and we ate a half a cup of
super potent yogurt every day?
What if that was the key?
(24:51):
I'm telling you, it would be aheck of a lot cheaper and more
authentic.
So I will say that I have begunthat process, I have noticed a
difference in my body and in myskin and my wellbeing, and so
I'm going to keep making mysuper potent yogurt that
(25:16):
contains L-reuteri.
A journey that began with mewanting to simply reverse
rheumatoid arthritis has nowbecome something that is
blossoming into a way of lifethat is to allow me to live a
(25:39):
longer and healthier and morevibrant life.
So check out the book Super Gutby Dr William Davis.
Get yourself a yogurt maker.
Get some El Ruderi you can getit on Amazon.
(26:01):
Check out my video on Rumblethat shows you how to make this
super potent yogurt.
Check out my channel on Rumble.
Patty talks too much and I'vegot that video there for you.
So I wish you all much healthand happiness and urge you to
(26:26):
consider that so much of thathealth and happiness may
literally be in our gut.
Take care of your gut and livealone and healthy and happy.
Till next time, ciao.

The last thing you want to dois just slap some paint on the
wall to mask what is going on.
So the wall will look somewhatbetter, but you still have the
cracks, you still have thepeeling, and the color that you
(11:40):
apply to it is not going to bethe true color because of all of
the dinginess and stains thatare underneath.
So I know that's kind of a funnyanalogy, but my father was a
painter.
I've painted just about everyplace that I've ever lived in
and so a painting analogy kindof comes up, because I know I've
had this experience of being sotempted to do the shortcut,
(12:05):
just going to put the paint onthe wall and call it a day, and
that is always a mistake.
So it's always best to go inthere to repair the wall, to
sand it down, to make it smoothagain, to chip away the paint
that's been peeling and to giveit a nice coat of primer.
(12:25):
So when you put that nice newcolor you want on your wall,
it'll be smooth and it will bethe true color, the color that
it's meant to be, not tarnished,not diminished because of the
stuff that the color that thepaint is trying to cover up.
So excuse that kind of awkwardanalogy, but I do think about
(12:49):
that when I think about how, howI would approach, how I have
approached and how I wouldrecommend anyone approach
rebalancing your gut is that itis important to begin with
clearing things out, cleaningthings out.
So if you have a gut imbalance,chances are you're going to need
(13:09):
a colon cleanse, and there arelots of them out there.
I would definitely start with acolon cleanse.
I would definitely do aparasite cleanse.
I would start also with a dailyroutine the parasite and the
(13:30):
heavy metal stuff is somethingthat you just kind of have to do
ongoing, because there's justso much in our environment that
it seems like it's not a one anddone so with parasites, and I
did a podcast on parasites andso you can check that out in
(13:50):
terms of kind of what I've doneand what I think works.
In terms of heavy metal, I usezeolite and I do it as part of
my daily routine.
I got a really good qualityliquid zeolite and I put that in
(14:10):
my vitamin mix drink everymorning.
So it's just part of my routineto keep the heavy metals at bay
, because we are we do live in atoxic soup, unfortunately, and
so we're kind of always exposed,it seems, no matter what we do.
And with the parasites, like Imentioned, it's not a one and
(14:34):
done, because if you haveparasites there you have to keep
going in, you know, becausethere's the adults and then
there's the babies and so, butanyway, check out my parasite
podcast if you want moreinformation on that.
So I started with starting thesecleanses addressing the
(14:54):
parasites, addressing the heavymetals doing a colon sweep,
because really you're sweepingeverything out, you're cleansing
everything out, and then partof any good colon cleanse is now
you're rebuilding it with thebacteria that it needs.
So you've kind of swepteverything out and you are going
(15:15):
through a rebuilding process.
So that is how I began torebuild my gut.
Now, in the process, though,like I said, I'm reading all of
these books and I did read supergut by Dr William Davis, and I
will say this that one of thejaw droppers for me is was that
(15:38):
there are just some bacteriathat don't exist, or exist in
very, very low numbers in ourbodies.
Obviously, our microbiome isgoing to change.
As we evolve and as humansmigrate to different places and
eat different diets, ourmicrobiome changes.
(15:58):
But one of the things thatthey've found is that when
they've tested indigenous peopleon totally different continents
, like the Hadza of Africa andindigenous people of Peru, what
they have found is that they dohave bacteria in common.
(16:20):
So there are these corebacteria that are needed for our
optimal health, and many ofthose core bacteria are missing
in our Western diet, and so theone that I really wanted to talk
(16:41):
about today is a bacteriacalled L reuteri.
Here's the thing about theyogurts and even the probiotics
that we take.
If you look, I actually I buy areally good probiotic.
I have a really good probioticthat I pay good money for and
(17:04):
it's great because it's gotthose bacteria in the billions.
That's awesome.
I need to keep it in therefrigerator.
That's a good sign.
The thing is is when you lookon the label, it does not have
L-reuteri.
If you eat yogurt, that's notgoing to be one of the bacteria
in the yogurt, no matter howgood that yogurt was or how much
(17:28):
you paid for it.
L-reuteri is kind of a hard toget bacteria.
You won't see it in a lot ofprobiotics.
I will say too.
Just as a note on the yogurt,even if you're getting the
yogurt that says prebioticyogurt, it's really been
(17:51):
cultured for about six to eighthours.
And a yogurt, in order to getfull of all of those wonderful
bacteria at the numbers that youneed for your gut, a yogurt
really does need to culture forabout 36 hours, and the
store-bought yogurts don't comeclose.
(18:13):
So store-bought yogurts, evenif they say probiotic yogurt,
they're really not doing thatmuch good for your gut.
You need a wide, wide range ofbacteria and at very high counts
, and the only way to do thatreally is to make your own.
So, and that's what I do, so,and I do have if you want to
(18:39):
check out my my how-to videos,if you visit Patty Talks Too
Much on my Rumble channel, I dohave a how-to video that shows
you how I make a super, superpotent yogurt with all of these,
these wonderful bacteria.
But just back to L reuteri.
(19:00):
Why is L reuteri such animportant bacteria?
Well, it does amazing thingsfor our body and, unfortunately,
96% of us don't have it in ourgut.
So L reuteri lives in the upperGI and it is like a super when
(19:23):
it comes to fending off badbacteria.
It's like a super 350 poundlinebacker up there in our GI
fighting off bad bacteria.
That's just one thing that itdoes.
How else does El Ruderi affectus?
El Ruderi is known for keepingour skin smooth and reducing
(19:49):
wrinkles.
It is known for enhancing oursleep, um so uh, I definitely
(20:26):
sleep more soundly now, and so,just referring to this book,
which I highly recommend,supergut, I want to just read to
you what the author says aboutmaking yogurt with L-reuteri.
The L-reuteri culture increasedskin moisture, increased dermal
collagen, accelerated healingand restoration of youthful
(21:06):
muscle that in total amount toan age-reversing effect.
Recall that the oxytocin boostyou receive with this yogurt
also increases feelings ofempathy and that the colonizing
effect in the upper GI tractalso provides protection against
(21:29):
SIBO and SIFO reoccurrence.
So this is a powerhouse culture.
This is a powerhouse bacteriathat so few of us have.
So we are not getting thebenefit of that.
And I think about the empathyfactor.
(21:51):
I think about what if balancingour gut means that we can be
more empathetic to each other,less angry online?
How polarized our world is andour culture is right now.
Could it be that if werebalanced our gut, we would be
(22:11):
a little bit more empathetic toeach other?
It's a stretch actually tothink about, but I've come to
believe that our gut is far moreimportant than we have been led
to believe.
When you can reduce anxietyattacks and depression by
(22:35):
balancing your gut, that signalsto me that there's a heck of a
lot more going on here thanwe've been taught.
So I highly recommend that youread this book and you learn
more about El Ruderi.
(22:56):
You learn more about makingyour own yogurt and rebalancing
your gut.
If you have any of thesesymptoms that are associated
with SIBO and SIFO, it's reallyin your best interest to begin
rebalancing your gut.
(23:17):
So if it's true that L-reuteriyogurt can literally unlock a
reversal also in the agingprocess, in terms of our skin,
in terms of our outlook, interms of our libido, in terms of
all the things that seem tofall away as we age, if
(23:43):
L-reuteri could revitalize thosethings, just as it has done in
research with lab rats, believeit or not then is it possible
for us to be able to live longer?
If we simply rebalance our gutand make sure that we have the
(24:10):
right bacteria in our gut, thatwe eliminate the destructive
bacteria, the heavy metals andthe parasites.
Those seem to me to be keys toliving a long and healthy life.
So, with all of this anti-agingstuff out there, all the things
(24:31):
we can do topically, all thethings we can do surgically, can
it literally be much simplerthan that?
Can it literally be muchsimpler than that?
What if we just rebalanced ourgut and we ate a half a cup of
super potent yogurt every day?
What if that was the key?
(24:51):
I'm telling you, it would be aheck of a lot cheaper and more
authentic.
So I will say that I have begunthat process, I have noticed a
difference in my body and in myskin and my wellbeing, and so
I'm going to keep making mysuper potent yogurt that
(25:16):
contains L-reuteri.
A journey that began with mewanting to simply reverse
rheumatoid arthritis has nowbecome something that is
blossoming into a way of lifethat is to allow me to live a
(25:39):
longer and healthier and morevibrant life.
So check out the book Super Gutby Dr William Davis.
Get yourself a yogurt maker.
Get some El Ruderi you can getit on Amazon.
(26:01):
Check out my video on Rumblethat shows you how to make this
super potent yogurt.
Check out my channel on Rumble.
Patty talks too much and I'vegot that video there for you.
So I wish you all much healthand happiness and urge you to
(26:26):
consider that so much of thathealth and happiness may
literally be in our gut.
Take care of your gut and livealone and healthy and happy.
Till next time, ciao.
