A groundbreaking MIT discovery revealed that 96% of modern humans have lost a crucial microbe that makes old mice young again. This isn't just about gut health—it's about oxytocin production, muscle maintenance, sleep quality, and social connection.

In this episode, I share research from MIT, UC Berkeley, and Dr. William Davis showing how Lactobacillus reuteri can dramatically boost the "love hormone," restore youthful biological markers, and potentially reverse decades of antibiotic damage to your microbiome.

🔬 What You'll Discover: • Why 96% of humans lost this essential microbe (but isolated populations still have it) • How L. reuteri increases oxytocin production by 1000x compared to regular probiotics • The MIT study showing mice staying young on junk food diets • Dr. Davis's 36-hour fermentation protocol that creates 300 billion organisms per serving • Why this microbe colonizes your entire 24-foot small intestine (unlike other probiotics) • Personal experience after 22 years of gut health challenges

40% of the world is dealing with gut health challenges, but here's what most people don't know: there's ONE word hiding on every product label that legally allows companies to mask up to 3,500 toxic chemicals.

In this premiere episode of The Ecolosophy Podcast, host Italo Campilii reveals the shocking fragrance loophole that's been hiding in plain sight, explains why 95% of your serotonin is produced in your gut (not your brain), and shares the simple action step that can start protecting your family today.

From his 22-year journey battling Crohn's disease to co-founding Ecolosophy, Italo exposes the hidden connections between environmental toxins and the gut health epidemic - plus why IBD has increased 300% since 2005.

This isn't about fear - it's about empowerment. Learn how to upgrade your home's "operating system" and join the movement of families refusing to accept toxic as normal.
