  1. Is Earth's Weakening Magnetic Field Making Us Sick? | Dr Jack Kruse

    Season 1, Episode 75

    Show notes

    Why are fit, healthy people with "perfect" diets developing early-onset cancers?

    Neurosurgeon Dr Jack Kruse returns to the Gut Health Gurus Podcast to share his view that the answer lies not in food, but in the engine: your mitochondria, and the environment they run in. Host Kriben Govender (food scientist and nutritionist) opens up about his own stage 4 colorectal cancer diagnosis, and asks Dr Kruse why he believes Earth's shifting magnetic field, light, deuterium and oxygen's spin state shape mitochondrial and microbiome health — and what that could mean for people living in Australia.

    In this episode:

    - Why Dr Kruse says "stop blaming food, start blaming the engine"

    - His theory on the magnetic field, agonic lines and disease in Australia

    - Electron tunnelling, Marcus inversion and the vitamin D receptor - Singlet vs triplet oxygen, biophotons and the gut microbiome

    - The microbiome as a deuterium gatekeeper

    - Evolution, the Cambrian explosion and magnetism

    - Why he discusses carbonated water, CO2 and cardiolipin

    - "You can't get well in the environment you got sick in"

    In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, Kriben Govender (Founder of Nourishme Organics and host of the Gut Health Gurus Podcast) returns to the studio to share a significant life update. After a period of absence from social media and podcasting, Kriben reveals the "curveball" he was thrown in August 2025: a diagnosis of Stage 4 Colon Cancer [13:27]. Despite being a pillar of health and a leader in the gut health space, Kriben details his shocking journey from noticing early symptoms to discovering a 6cm tumour that had metastasised to his liver and lungs [17:19]. In this episode, Kriben and James discuss: The Diagnosis: The early signs Kriben initially overlooked and the harrowing moment he received his Stage 4 prognosis [14:20]. The Root Causes: Kriben's theories on how extreme stress [22:01] and gut dysbiosis [24:04] may have allowed the disease to take hold. The Global Search for Healing: Why Kriben chose to seek unconventional and targeted treatments in Germany, including dendritic cell vaccines [32:05] and trans-arterial chemo embolisation [28:56]. The Power of the Microbiome: The incredible story of how a faecal transplant from his wife [37:15] and specific dietary shifts led to a dramatic shrinkage of his tumours. A Message of Hope: How Kriben's tumours have shrunk from 6cm to approximately 1cm [45:08], and his mission to inspire others to become active participants in their own health journey [41:40]. Kriben shares his current state of remission, the importance of a positive mindset (the "placebo effect" of the mind) [52:13], and his commitment to returning to full health while continuing to support the Nourishme Organics community.

  7. The Power of L reuteri for Skin and Gut Health with Dr William Davis

    Season 1, Episode 69

    Show notes

    In this episode, Dr. William Davis delves into the fascinating world of L. Reuteri and its impact on skin health, gut and overall well-being. Learn about the potential benefits of this probiotic strain and its connection to gut health.

    Topics Covered :

    L. Reuteri and its Benefits:

    • Loss in Modern Populations: Dr. William Davis highlights that Lactobacillus reuteri is largely absent in modern people due to antibiotic overuse, unlike in indigenous populations and wild mammals [ 01:16 ].
    • Initial Benefits: Restoration of L. reuteri can lead to youthful musculature, increased oxytocin (enhancing love and affection), improved libido, and better social behavior [ 02:07 ].
    • Skin Health:

    • L. reuteri dramatically increases dermal collagen, reducing wrinkles [ 02:31 ].
    • A clinical trial with 25 women showed a 15% increase in dermal layer thickness using L. reuteri with marine collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, and astaxanthin [ 03:33 ].
    • Participants experienced more moisture and reduced wrinkle depth [ 05:19 ].

    • Body Composition: The same trial unexpectedly showed significant waist circumference reduction, suggesting a targeting of abdominal fat and restoration of youthful muscle [ 05:31 ].
    • Comparison to GLP-1 Agonists: Dr. Davis contrasts the benefits of L. reuteri with the drawbacks of drugs like Wegovy, which can lead to muscle loss and worsened health upon cessation [ 06:30 ].
    • Strain Specifics: Dr. Davis mentions using a specific strain, L. reuteri LRDR, in his clinical trials, chosen for its effects in animals and humans [ 09:52 ].
    • Dosage: Emerging evidence suggests that dosage matters, with higher doses potentially yielding better results [ 11:33 ].

    Mechanisms of Action:

    • Endotoxemia Reduction: L. reuteri helps reduce endotoxemia (bacterial breakdown products in the bloodstream), which is linked to various health issues like increased blood glucose, abdominal fat, and inflammation [ 13:39 ].
    • Oxytocin and Cortisol: L. reuteri increases oxytocin, suppressing appetite, and reduces cortisol levels, which are linked to abdominal fat accumulation [ 16:54 ].

    Other Beneficial Bacteria and Practices:

    • Bacillus subtilis: Dr. Davis discusses using Bacillus subtilis to make sparkling juices, utilizing the DE111 strain for CO2 production [ 19:01 ].
    • Saccharomyces boulardii: Recommended for minimizing gastrointestinal microbiome disruption when taking antibiotics [ 20:51 ].
    • Lactobacillus crispatus: Crucial for female reproductive health, reducing miscarriage risk, premature delivery, and improving vaginal health [ 22:25 ]. It can be obtained through products like Gero Fem Dophilus Advanced or by making yogurt [ 24:38 ].

    Prebiotics:

    • Role: Prebiotics feed beneficial microbes, leading to the production of metabolites like butyric acid [ 27:38 ].
    • Butyric Acid: Improves sleep, lowers blood pressure and sugar, reduces inflammation, and acidifies the skin, discouraging pathogens [ 28:19 ].
    • Types: Inulin and fructooligosaccharides are widely metabolized, but other options include galactooligosaccharides, xylooligosaccharides, and polysaccharides [ 33:51 ].
    • Hyaluronic acid: It is a fiber sourced from animals that blooms butyric acid producing species [ 34:35 ]

    Wheat:

    • Modern Wheat Issues: Dr. Davis reiterates the problems with modern high-yield semi-dwarf wheat, including glyphosate exposure [ 37:11 ].
    • Differences in Wheat: The type of gliadin protein in wheat varies, affecting gastrointestinal tolerance [ 40:01 ].
    • Harmful Components: Amylopectin A, wheat germ agglutinin, and phytates contribute to heart disease risk, gastrointestinal toxicity, and mineral binding, respectively [ 40:23 ].
    • Sourdough: Fermentation reduces some harmful components but doesn't eliminate them [ 43:12 ].

    Microbiome Research:

    • SIBO: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is common, and correcting it can be achieved by restoring lost microbes, especially those that colonize the small intestine [ 45:43 ].
    • Microbe Interactions: Microbes interact with each other, and understanding these interactions is crucial [ 51:10 ].

    Future Directions:

    • Oxytocin Release: Further research is needed to understand how L. reuteri causes oxytocin release and its potential to address social isolation and narcissistic behavior [ 52:48 ].
    • Shape and Body Composition: Focusing on targeting abdominal visceral fat and restoring muscle, rather than just weight loss [ 54:18 ].

    Resources:

    • Books: "Super Gut," "Wheat Belly" (revised and expanded), and cookbooks [ 55:53 ].
    • Website/Blog: WilliamDavisMD.com William Davis MD [ 49:40 ].
    • Membership website: The Inner Circle [ 49:54 ]

    One Thing for Gut Health Today:

    • Include fermented foods like Bacillus subtilis sparkling juice or sauerkraut [ 56:51 ].

    This video explores the potential of L. Reuteri for improving skin health and overall wellness by focusing on gut health. Dr. Davis provides insights into how this probiotic strain may contribute to a healthier you.
