From a New York Times bestselling author, a guide to restoring good bacteria to your gut–and keeping our microbiomes happy and healthy.

Because of our highly processed diet, pesticides, and overuse of antibiotics, our guts are now missing so many of the good bacteria that we require to be healthy. As a result, many of us have lost control over our health, weight, mood, and even behavior.

With cutting-edge research, Dr. Davis connects the dots between gut health and modern ailments such as SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), a silent and profound epidemic, which affects one out of three people and is responsible for an astounding range of human health conditions.

Super Gut shows us how to fix your microbiome once and for all. It includes more than forty recipes, a diet plan, and resources so you can pinpoint your gut issues, correct them, and maintain your long-term health and well-being.

“Super Gut reveals how virtually every aspect of our health is fundamentally influenced by the vast array of microscopic organisms living upon and within us. Dr. Davis makes it clear that so many issues related to living in our modern world challenge this relationship and set the stage for illness. But the good news, as Super Gut so eloquently portrays, centers on our new-found ability to improve the health and functionality of the vast array of microbes upon which we depend. It’s clear that we can manipulate this relationship to our advantage. And Dr. Davis shows us how.”―David Perlmutter, MD, author, #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain, and Drop Acid

 “Reading Super Gut is reading an incredibly important manual on building the super ‘hard drive’ for a long, healthy, and productive life…. With easy-to-implement, inexpensive recommendations, it won’t be long before you’re forever grateful you took the time to read and implement.... All disease begins in the gut. So build a Super Gut!”―Dr. Tom O’Bryan, author of The Autoimmune Fix and You Can Fix Your Brain

"Super Gut brings the conversation into new territory. Bacteria are not the bad guys! Dr. Davis' plan helps you replenish the microbiome and eliminate those culprits that are depleting us of essential natural probiotics that maintain a healthy gut. Microbiome medicine is an essential part of good health, disease prevention, vitality, and longevity. Bravo to Dr. Davis on this newest addition to the literature.”―Dr. Raphael Kellman, founder of Microbiome Medicine, author of The Microbiome Diet, The Microbiome Breakthrough, Microbiome Thyroid

“An intriguing look into the science of the gut microbiome, and its implications for human health. Dr. Davis brings his usual light to this area of science and follows that up with some practical advice.”―Dr. Jason Fung, New York Times bestselling author of The Obesity Code

He packs the book with specific strategies and recipes so that the reader is well-equipped to regain health, vigor, even youthfulness.”―Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Pegan Diet

About the authors

William Davis

William Davis

Dr. Davis provides solutions to health problems by addressing the microbiome, massively disrupted in modern people. He shows readers in his Super Gut book, for instance, how to restore important lost microbes lost such as Lactobacillus reuteri, restored by using a unique method of yogurt fermentation that smooths skin and reduces wrinkles, restores youthful muscle and strength, deepens sleep, reduces appetite and provides many other youth-preserving and anti-aging effects. In Super Gut and in his website, www.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com, he provides additional do-it-yourself-at-home strategies for benefits such as improved mood, improved athletic performance, better sleep, heightened immunity, and improved body composition.

Dr. William Davis is also responsible for exposing the incredible nutritional blunder made by "official" health agencies: Eat more "healthy whole grains." The wheat of today is different from the wheat of 1960, thanks to extensive genetics manipulations introduced to increase yield-per-acre. Eliminating wheat yields results beyond everyone's expectations: substantial weight loss, correction of cholesterol abnormalities, relief from inflammatory diseases like arthritis, better mood, reduced blood sugar with many type 2 diabetics being freed of insulin and other drugs, all articulated through his Wheat Belly series of books. He is also a champion of individual self-directed health, as discussed in his Undoctored book.

Dr. Davis lives what he preaches, not having indulged in a wheat-containing bagel, ciabatta, or pretzel in many years, while consuming various fermentation products that yield unexpected health benefits. Dr. Davis lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

After seeing several podcasts on youtube with Dr. William Davis, I was determined to learn more about resetting your gut microbiome. I started my own homemade multistrain "joghurt" according to the recipe in the book. What a difference especially for a friend who has Irritable Bowel Syndrome. He experienced an immediate improvement within 8 hours. I would recommend this book to everybody with the goal to improve their guthealth and overall wellness!

Worked For Me!

I suffered from IBS my whole life. It was isolating and caused me difficulty at work because I had to travel and meet with clients. All of us in my family, from my grandmother on down, have struggled with IBS-like problems. Dr. Davis explains how a poor microbiome is often generational, since the biome is passed from mother to child during pregnancy and birth.

It took about six weeks for Dr. Davis's protocol to work. I've been at it for over four months now and my life has been fundamentally changed. I still avoid certain foods, but the list of what I can eat without distress has grown substantially. Dr. Davis recommends a half cup a day, but eat double that most days without any problem. There was a bit of healing crisis at first - some diarrhea and a bit of sniffles, but only about three days. It's a journey. I am milk intolerant, so used soy milk. For me, it is the best medium for the cultures - lots of protein and no added sugar.

Commercial yogurt never helped with the IBS at all, nor did probiotic capsules (though I do use them to start my ferments.) Dr. Davis mentions specific strains and it is best to order and use the ones he recommends. Long-fermented yogurt is quite sour (which I like); to sweeten it up a bit, though, I blend fresh fruit in a food processor and ferment for a couple of days on the counter in a mason jar, before refrigerating. I mix a couple of tablespoons of this blend into the yogurt when I eat it.

Very, very important to ferment the yogurt for 36 hours. I bought a yogurt maker on Amazon, called the Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker for $60 that allows me to set temperature and time - check carefully because few yogurt makers provide for a 36 hour ferment. I chose the model with two large fermenting bowls. You can get the individual serving jars, but I make and eat so much, the larger bowls are best. I also bought a large Greek yogurt strainer because I like the thicker, Greek-style yogurt.

The protocol may not work for everyone, but for me, this has been a miracle.

This is for health, we make our own yogurt and I can say the L- Reuteri yogurt recipe works, my husband used to stay so aggrivated over everything, he has been eating the yogurt for several months now and it has calmed him down.
