Every time we eat, we have a chance to boost our brain function. In medical school, we\u2019re taught the brain is immutable, that we can\u2019t grow new brain cells or change the brain once dysfunction or injury has occurred. Now, we know that\u2019s just not true. The decisions we make each and every day, like what we eat, how much sleep we get, and how often we move are all steps that can dramatically shift the health of the brain for the better. And there\u2019s so much more we can do, too.\nDr. David Perlmutter joins me on this week\u2019s episode of The Doctor\u2019s Farmacy to talk about an empowered approach to supporting the brain, starting with food first. Dr. Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist and four-time New York Times best selling author. He serves on the Board of Directors and is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition and as a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease. His books include the #1 New York Times bestseller Grain Brain, The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs and Sugar, with over 1 million copies in print. He is the editor of the upcoming collection The Microbiome and the Brain that will be authored by top experts in the field and will be published in 2019 by CRC Press. Dr. Perlmutter\u2019s new book, Brain Wash, co-written with Austin Perlmutter, MD, will be published in January 2020.\n \nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
