The One Microbe You Evicted That Can Boost Empathy, Restore Muscle, and Reverse Immune Aging
Update: 2025-11-13
Description
Examines the health significance of the microbe Lactobacillus reuteri, a bacterium that has become largely absent in modern Western populations due to widespread antibiotic use. Research highlights its wide-ranging benefits, extending beyond infant health to include anti-aging effects observed in animal studies, such as elevated growth hormone and testosterone, restoration of thymus gland function, and accelerated wound healing. L. reuteri is described as a keystone species that regulates the gut ecosystem by colonizing the small intestine, helping to prevent conditions such as Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). In addition, it is noted for its ability to significantly increase oxytocin production, a hormone that influences mood, social bonding, and body composition by supporting lean muscle development. Practical methods for reintroducing this microbe into the human gut include fermenting it into a concentrated yogurt-like preparation, which is suggested as an effective strategy to restore its presence.
