The 5 STEPS To Reduce BRAIN INFLAMMATION Today! | Mark Hyman

For years, the brain was thought to be separate from the lymphatic system. But now we know that’s not true, and that the brain has an incredible connection to the immune system, called the glymphatic system, that helps the brain detoxify and receive valuable nutrients. This brain-immune connection creates a new framework for treating brain disease and immune system dysfunctions like autoimmunity.

In this video, Dr. Hyman discusses inflammation in the brain with his colleague at The UltraWellness Center, Dr. Todd LePine. They discuss the many factors that can drive neuroinflammation, the range of conditions that are linked to brain inflammation, and how they work with patients to cool this inflammation. He also talks with Max Lugavere on nutritionally deficiencies effects on the brain from vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, vitamin D, and more.

Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine, and is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. He has been practicing Functional Medicine for over 15 years focusing on Optimal Aging, Bio-Detoxification, Gastrointestinal Health, Systemic Inflammation, Autoimmune disorders and the Neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders.

Max Lugavere is a filmmaker, health, and science journalist and the author of the New York Times bestselling book Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life. He is also the host of the #1 iTunes health podcast The Genius Life. Max’s sophomore book is The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Become Extraordinary, a lifestyle guide to living happily and healthily with proven, research-based lifestyle tactics, which we dig into more throughout this episode.

I wish Functional Medicine was more financially accessible for my family. We all have autoimmune disease. It’s brutal. We can’t get effective care covered by our insurance. I’m going broke trying to afford our integrative healthcare. My child has PANS and type 1 diabetes and I have a challenging case of Graves Disease. How can families like mine get the healthcare we need but can’t afford? My child desperately needs help with PANS to recover from the disabling nature of the disease.

I appreciate ALL of the doctors in this show. Thanks for standing up for actual people, instead of just the pocket book. You truly care and it shows

I'm a clinical mental health therapist and always address this topic with my clients.

My brain inflammation definitely comes from my sinuses. This problem is destroying my brain and has ruined my life. Thanks for the info. YouYube is my doctor.

I’m allergic to lanolin. When I started taking a vitamin D3 that didn’t say what its ingredients were, I developed aching joints and swelling. I eventually found somebody who could tell me what that brand of vitamins was made of : lanolin. Then I bought some D3 made from lichen and it causes no problems.

It shouldn’t be this hard to be healthy! 💔 We have so many pollutants in our world now. Whatever happened to just eating real food, getting sunshine and exercising? I feel like chronically ill people have to go down a million rabbit holes and spend a fortune to get well. It shouldn’t be this way.

So incredible to have access to info like this these days

When they talk about the asthma medicine helping gut/ digestive issues, they might be talking about eosinophilic gastritis. My gastroenterologist had me swallow the inhaler medicine when I had this. I gave up grains, not only did my eosinophilic illness go away but my environmental allergies got better and my asthma calmed down.

Ice Cream, 2 gallons in 4 days actually cured mine!!! My conclusion was to add fats. Then, I learned of keto lifestyle. Fortunately, I had already quit added sugar...the ice cream was a one of and just days before going keto.
My upset over my brain not working right was terrifying to me. The only reason for the ice cream was I wanted to rapidly gain fat. I do not understand why ice cream cleared my "brain fog" and disrupted thinking. Since I have changed my way of eating, I have had no more brain fog. One week into keto was my return to lightening quick reasoning and reading return.

What type of magnesium do you give to your clients?

I'm 54 yes old. I did not know I had brain fog until I started TRT. After starting TRT I began to think clearly and I was also able to see colors more vividly I believe our hormones greatly effect our health condition.

I have swelling on my brain and have lots of problems for 15 years, it’s good to hear about functional medicine.

If only Drs and psychiatrists would tell their patients suffering with mental illness, a few basic tips to help them get better: 1) BALANCE YOUR BLOOD SUGAR. 2) TAKE STEPS TO REDUCE BRAIN INFLAMMATION. 3) OPTIMIZE PROGESTERONE. Instead, they prescribe drugs that ultimately make the mental illness WORSE... drugs that cause brain damage, cause metabolic dysfunction, and encourage dissociation (dissociation is one of the root causes of mental illness IMO.)

I recently discovered triboron. Its three types of boron and it helps the body absorb and metabolize other minerals and supplements. I just started it.Combined with fasting. And a macromineral regimen. I'm so glad I will go back to Functional next month. Very difficult to get in consistently since a mass exodus of physicians.

Bummer that the first part of this was repeat. Great info but would be good if the 5 Steps were recapped as outline as advertised on thumbnail.

[FranAndrews-ux]

I'm watching every one of these. I have some conditions, with brain fog and inflammation. Seeing the neuro in about 10 days, very worried. So glad to hear this information. Dr. LePine is telling the story of my medical. WOW. I needed to know this. Histamine, all of it.
