This Is Causing Brain Inflammation & Cognitive Decline! - How To Reverse It | Austin Perlmutter

We live in a time with more money, medical interventions, and knowledge than ever before—so why are we getting sicker? While this might seem depressing, there are actually many exciting discoveries changing the future of wellness, like our increased understanding of the microbiome and how it interacts with the brain. This dynamic has profound implications for mental health, reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, and even supporting positive behavior in our children. I’m excited to talk to board-certified internal medicine physician, bestselling author, and published researcher Dr. Austin Perlmutter about all this and more on this episode of the podcast.

We explore:

Why don’t we try to prevent brain dysfunction the same way we do with cardiovascular disease and other illnesses?

Neuroinflammation and how to modulate it to improve mood, behavior, and neurodegenerative diseases

Having an “adult in the room” versus our lizard brain

The inundation of Big Food and Big Pharma marketing we’re up against

Psychobiotics: The future of probiotics for brain health

I know you’ll love this conversation as much as I did. I hope you’ll tune in wherever you listen to podcasts!

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Magnesium Breakthrough, LMNT, and Pique.

I keep hearing about the Mediterranean diet, but when I watch videos of people who live in those countries, they eat lots of pasta with veggies, of course, and lots of pastries and bread. So I begin to ask, why are we being told in this country not to eat those things, and that is never addressed. We are just told don’t eat, gluten and grains while other countries have better health and they are eating those things. So I did my research and it’s what we do to our grains and what we spray on them. There is a YouTube channel called bread Beckers, and they teach people how to mill their own grains and bake their own breads and make their own pastas. That is what I do. I buy organic grains and keep all of the grain in the bread. Many people are healing with many health issues by doing this. one says do not eat vegetables one says eat lots of vegetables and it begins to drive us to confusion so I learned to do my research and know what works for my body and when I feel good. I eat real food and grains and healthy grains are part of that. I do stay away from sugar, and I don’t eat the pastries that the Mediterranean people eat.

Love listening to Mark...he is both brilliant, insightful and amazing at explaining things, AND at the same time he is enthusiastic and funny. I can listen for hours!!
Not so bad to watch either lol

I see many comments about Dr. Hyman dominating the conversation...this actually makes the discussion more interesting. I like that better than the straight question and remote answer...you can read that type of interview. Dr. Hyman is good with follow up that pushes his guest to go more into detail...This is a great discussion.

There needs to be a revolution in the MD profession. It’s illogical and against Hippocratic Oath maybe, to not treat patients with functional medicine and all this info that is on Dr Hyman’s videos. Truly.

As a RD for 30 yrs who's tried to change menus in schools, hospitals and other institutions- sadly people choose foods they're used to at home and difficult to educate when feeling like Mark's dx FLC. Now focus on fuctional & gut strategies in private practice. Great program. ❤

[cates_keto]

Super video!! Look after the gut! Everything else follows. We are all on keto (kind of) in our house and our mental and physical health has improved 1 million percent. That’s 6 people taking preventative action which gives us present day happiness! 😊🎉❤

When you ask a question, It's customary to let the person answer the question and not answer it yourself.

I wish we had doctors of this calibre in the united Kingdom, i always find myself finding research on these studies from across the pond, still glad we live in a time where we have access to this information

[carolr.]

There seems to be an issue with many of these podcasts that you have to listen to what is wrong or what the problems are before they discuss the solutions. But, I am really impressed by Austin’s father David, who raised really wonderful children! Real food is basically the answer here..

[cesarrenteria]

Mark. I appreciate all the studies you present each week. This time I thank Austin for all his studies and research well ahead.

I know relationships between violence and foods since 30 years when studied Macrobiotic a Japanese school of nutrition. I am convinced any being who do violence or decisions of violence like wars to get money needs medical help and rehabilitation. A healthy human nature is good, kind, compassionate.

[coolParadigmes]

Very interesting and I would like to point that brain health is very much related to body health, so keeping your body healthy and active is excellent for the brain, like keeping your brain active is good for your body, it's a whole question of balance! About inflammation? Inflammation is most of the time just a symptom : junk food, dental problems, lack of sleep, lack of exercises, latent infections in organs, pollution, bad habits, bad social circles, etc. External or obvious causes for Inflammation are so prevalent that looking for internal causes should be done only I think as a last step.

[charlesschlappe]

Very important info. Other impactors also include the invisible frequencies we are bathing our bodies in and the space weather.

[dr.samierasadoonalhassani]

To summarise is what we eat, drink, breath, feel, do all epigenetic ( environmental factors). Plus genetics predisposes to mental illness and expressed by bad epi genetics.

[marciav.ormsby]

Such important information! Take note.

[jade_]

amazing info! I wish it was time-stamped as I would love to share this with people, but I would like to highlight certain parts for them.

I was born lived in Babylon, Soumaria and Baghdad did not have tinned beans till I came to UK in 1966.

Minute marker 56 * hit for brains - soooo true😂👍🏼. I am so proud of you two for sharing your wisdom & new research!!!! Thank you❤️🙏🏼

Thanks for this guys, I have severe brain inflammation caused from Roundup herbicide. It's been 2 years now and it triggered my autoimmune to go out pf control and started reacting to all kinds of chemicals. I have really reduced my symptoms from fasting and eating healthy.I still get brain swelling everytime I come in contact with yards that have been sprayed with herbicide but I domt react to other chemicals like I did before.

Would love to see you interview Phil Maffetone. He pushes the same dietary message while giving common sense exercise and training methodology
