Look what happened to Leslie with Wheat Belly + L. reuteri

By Dr. Davis | July 3, 2018 9 Comments

 

Leslie has been following the entire Wheat Belly lifestyle with breathtaking results to show for it. More recently, based on our numerous conversations here and elsewhere, she added L. reuteri. Interestingly, although all the skin health and anti-aging benefits have been observed only with the ATCC PTA 6475 and DSM 17938 strains, Leslie took the UALre-16 strain from Nature’s Way, suggesting that this strain may also boost oxytocin and thereby provide all the skin and health benefits of the other strains.

“Many are asking what change I’ve made in my makeup as my skin looks so smooth. I lost 40 lbs in past 2 years with Wheat Belly but this addition [L. reuteri] has been a game changer as you can see in my before and after photos. I don’t think I look 65 anymore. Maybe 45? Before pic was 2 years ago and after is today.

“Total cholesterol went from 239 to 224. Triglycerides went from 112 to 94. Statins no longer being recommended. Vitamin D level went from 30 to 46. ALT [liver test] was elevated but now went from 42 to 27. Diverticula decreased from 3 pouches to 1. Diverticulitis attacks lessened from average 3 per year to very rare. Was considered prediabetic but no longer in that category. Skin tags vanished. Dental health much improved with bleeding gums healed. Vision has not deteriorated during this transformation. Was told I would probably need cataract surgery but no longer needed at this time. But the main benefit has been the boost in my self confidence and energy level.

“Adding L. reuteri has caused skin to be less dry, smoother and more even toned. I am slowing the aging process.”

Here’s another before photo Leslie provided:

      Hey there. Indeed they are both me. But when I look at my older photos I have a hard time believing it myself. I had been fairly thin until about 12 years ago when I had knee surgery and became inactive and made poor nutrition choices. With the added weight ( gained total of 60 in 4 years) I just couldn’t take pride in my hair, makeup and attire so the restored health and confidence impacted all of these things. Thank God ( and Dr D!)

    Congratulations to Leslie! I started my journey too and people are amazed . I follow Dr. David’s advice and the changes are incredible. I just made my yogurt using my dehydrator and is thick and delicious . Thanks to Dr David, I have recovered my health and I look so much younger . I encourage people to take action and get healthy. I’m a pharmacist but my advice is to try natural ways to improve your health and chances are you will not have to take medications at all. I’m a living testimony of that!

    Amazing!!!! I want to try the yogurt but am afraid to spend all the money on the supplies and have it not turn out right. Did you take the Natures way by mouth or did you make the yogurt? If anyone has any good comments on making the yogurt that would be helpful. I guess I shouldn’t second guess myself……

      You can definitely avoid investing in a new appliance for the job. Most are actually unsuited, particularly and perhaps somewhat surprisingly, purpose-built yogurt makers, and swanky pots with yogurt settings. I’m presently using this very primitive but completely effective setup using material already on hand.

      Whatever you use, test it with plain (pre-warmed) water to make sure it holds target temperature, before risking $10 worth of Biogaia® Gastrus® tablets, and several dollars worth of dairy.

      re: «Did you take the Natures way by mouth or did you make the yogurt?»

      We’re still waiting for Leslie to clarify that, and until she does, I wouldn’t use that Nature’s Way Primadophilus® Reuteri probiotic as a yogurt culture. In addition to the question of whether Lactobacillus reuteri (UALre-16) is suitable for yogurt, that product also contains Lactobacillus acidophilus (DDS-1) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (HN001). Ideal substrate, temperature and time would need to be explored. Not all probiotics result in palatable yogurt.

      re: «If anyone has any good comments on making the yogurt that would be helpful. I guess I shouldn’t second guess myself…»

      If you use this blog’s Search feature on “reuteri”, you’ll find lots of traffic (and some cautions).

You look amazing & have inspired me to start my own journey desite health problems causing me to have a sever lack of mobility now. You’ve shown me not only is it possible to loose weight, but to look younger & healthier whilst doing it, so thank you for giving me the inspiration I needed to get motivated & just get on with it.
