[Music] so can eating yogurt change your life well the short answer is no if you eat what is commonly called yogurt so by FDA regulations for a company a manufacturer to call something yogurt you must ferment with two specific species streptoccus thermophilus and lactobacillus bulgarus wh why those two specific microbes because they yield greater health benefits for the consuming uh human or because it tastes better no just because that those are two microbes that have been used traditionally for many years many generations and have a long track record of safety and they all the FDA also says you must achieve a pH of 4.6 in the acidic range that occurs because the process of fermentation by those two microbes converts the lactose the sugar in dairy of course to lactic acid and that acidifies the yogurt and uh a pH of 4.6 tells the manufacturer that they've achieved sufficient sufficient acidification that inhibits contaminating microbes or pathogens if you consume that yogurt do big things happen in health not really right you've had yogurt many times I'm sure and did you say that something spectacular something magnificent happened to your health i highly doubt it probably nothing happened right not to say it wasn't delicious and you enjoyed it but you probably did not enjoy some kind of magnificent or substantial health benefit right so what if we did something a little different and ferment using different microbes now we can't call it yogurt anymore because the FDA says we can't but I'm not selling you yogurt so I'm going to call it yogurt just for convenience i could call it call it fermented dairy but you know what I mean i'm going to call it yogurt because it looks and smells like yogurt but it's not really yogurt by FDA regulations but we're going to start with different microbial species let's start with microbes sourced from humans could have been from the gastrointestinal tract could have been from the from breast milk could have been from the vagina could have been from any other body location but we're going to ferment those human sourced microbes we're also going to use my method of prolonged fermentation so in a factory they ferment or process the yogurt for about six to 12 hours and uh we're going to do it for more like 36 hours allowing the microbes to double many more times recall that microbes don't have sex there's no male and female microbes they just double themselves so-called asexual reproduction one becomes two two becomes four and so on so we're going to allow these microbes that tend to double about every two to three hours we're going to allow them to double at least 12 times and we're going to do it over 36 hours when we count the number of microbes using a laser assisted method called flowcytometry we get around 300 billion billion with a B per half cup or 120 milliliter serving so we get hundreds of times greater numbers than of microbes than you get in conventional yogurt and of course of different species i also reject this idea that we're going to use non-fat or low-fat dairy to start let's in let's instead start with a higher fat uh liquid such as half and half which is 18% roughly 18% fat because there never was evidence to tell us that total fat intake or saturated fat intake cause heart disease there is no evidence that reducing saturated fat reduces risk for heart disease it was a complete utter waste of time so we're going to use something that g give you better texture and mouth feel so I like to use half and half you can use cream also but the end product is more like cottage uh cream cheese it's very thick so let's let's just for the sake of argument use half and half or canned coconut milk you can use that also but that process requires some additional steps because coconut milk likes to separate let's go with the half and half right now i like to use organic half and half so we're going to ferment this for a prolonged period starting with human microbes well now spectacular things can happen in health so if we ferment for instance if you've been following my conversations you know my favorite microbe is lactobacillus roery that is this microbe that was originally sourced both from stool and from breast milk that is largely absent from the human microbiome now it was ubiquitous 40 50 years ago it's ubiquitous in wild mammals it's ubiquitous in huntergather human populations in places like the Brazilian rainforest the highlands of New Guinea the jungles of New Guinea uh the east coast of Mal of Africa the Malawi or the Messiah in Kenya that is people who are unexposed to antibiotics and other disruptive factors they all have rotary but we have lost it so when we restore rotary eye and we allow this process of prolonged fermentation spectacular things happen for two basic reasons one reason is that it triggers the release of a hormone oxytocin from the brain i call oxytocin the hormone of body composition because it shrinks your waist it restores youthful muscle and has all the social and emotional benefits of of oxytocin like increase in social ability increased desire for human companionship increased generosity increased acceptance of other people's opinions uh increased libido also so many spectacular effects another aspect of rotary is that it has the unique capacity to colonize the small intestine most microbes mo most beneficial microbes can't do that they colonize the colon or some other body location like the mouth or vagina depending on the species but rotary can colonize the entire gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus including the 24 ft of small intestine well that's very unique and very important because when rotary takes up resins in the small intestine it produces bacteriains that is natural antibiotics that kill feal microbes why is that important well in half the US population and there's a reason I say half see my super gut book for the full calculation and rationale but in half the US population feal microbes that originated in the colon where they belong have overpopulated and then ascended into the 24 ft of small intestine a process called small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or SIBO well restoring this microbe we've lost rotary is part of the process of getting rid of SIBO because of its small bowel colonizing effect and bacteras production so that's an example that can change your life because if you push back SIBO what can happen weight loss loss of abdominal fat reduction of blood glucose reduction of blood pressure reduction of fatty liver uh reduction of inflammation other body parts including like the heart so less likely to have atrial fibrillation or coronary disease less athoscllotic disease in other locations less likely to have rosacea and psoriasis and eczema it's less likely to have autoimmune diseases long list by pushing back invading fecal microbes by restoring this lost species now you can go even further if you add lactobacillus geride and basillus subtilus we can either co- ferment those three or you can individually ferment them to get even higher counts we call that SIBO yogurt and that has exceeded my expectations by a long stretch we're seeing the majority of people get rid of their SIBO with the fermentation of those three things consumed over four weeks sometimes longer for people have really bad SIBO so that this is an example yes lifechanging healthchanging uh geri alone lactobacillus gaster has been shown to reduce waist circumference quite significantly so that's another lifechanging effect uh basillus subtilus likewise adds to ch changes your shape and body composition specifically loss of abdominal fat and some increase in lean muscle mass how about basillus quagulance that reduces joint pain and reduces muscle injury incurred during strenuous exercise or heavy work in other words if you're a pro alete and you're playing hard and you have muscle injury you can measure that by the level of creatin kinace or CK we say in the bloodstream and it can go very high as high as a heart attack like 1,800 and so when you get basilus quaglance that muscle injury is cut by half meaning that you recover faster which can be a real advantage in professional uh athletes how about bifidactinfantis that most pregnant moms have lost and thereby cannot pass it on to their child at at child birth well if a child lacks bifidacterianfantis it has impaired neurological maturation will have a lower IQ is more likely to have type 1 diabetes is more likely to have obesity and type two diabetes later on as an adolescent so restoring bifidobacteranfantis is very powerful and mom can do that by making yogurt out of bifidobacterianfantis and consuming it herself before delivery and then she pass it on to her child through child birth the vaginal canal as well as through breastfeeding the reason why it's so important is bifidobacterium infantis is the dominant microbe in the infants in the first year of life the infant's microbiome comprising about 70 80% of all the micro very different from adults and that microbe allows that child to digest the human milk oligosaccharides present in breast milk so if the child lacks that microbe and breastfeeds it does not get all the benefits of breast milk so it's the combination breast milk with human milk alosaccharides and the presence of bifida bacteria infantis that yields tremendous effects that's just a sample of the things you can accomplish by restoring microbes you've lost as something that looks and smells like yogurt a yogurt that is lifechanging unlike the stuff you buy in the And if you make these yogurts in your kitchen you're unlikely to add sugar or high fructose corn syrup or other unhealthy sweeteners you're likely also not going to have to add things like gel gum zanthan gum carrage to thicken it up because you'll already have a rich thick and product by you starting with the organic half and half unlike the thin watery stuff they get in factories because they're using non-fat milk 1% other lowfat dairy starters and they get they have to thicken it up they we don't have to thicken it up you can just eat it as is and it's thick and rich already and of course you can add your own choice of good healthy things like blueberries and chia seeds and nuts so what you're going to make for those reasons also and the unique unique microbes and prolonged fermentation high bacterial counts these are literally lifech changing ways to consume what looks and smells like yogurt but it's not really yogurt anymore now these kinds of recipes these kinds of approaches interest you see my other YouTube videos but even better my super gut book where a lot of these recipes are located and because the book's a couple of years old now and this this area the microbiome is is developing so quickly you'll find some of the newest ideas in my blog William Davismd.com where I talk about some of the newer ideas like restoring lactobacillus crispus for the for vaginal health spectacular micro by the way for vaginal health so see my blog for the newest recipes or of course my membership website uh inner circle.drdavisinfinitealth.com drdavisinfinitealth.com where I have two-way Zoom conferences with people uh at least once a
