The Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast Dr. Austin Perlmutter - On Brain Health & It’s Importance To Happiness & Quality Of Life, How Healthy Habits Are Built and Maintained, The Best Diet to Sustain a Healthy Brain & Gut, New Perspective on Microdosing, Psychedelics and Nootropics (Episode:
’The food that we eat is not just a reflection or does not just lead to whether we're overweight. Food that we eat doesn't just lead to ‘Did I enjoy that meal or did I feel a little bit sick afterwards?’ The food that we eat is a major determinant of our brain state and by virtue of that is a major determinant of whether we can survive as a species on this planet for the next hundred years.’ - Dr. Austin Perlmutter
My guest today is Dr. Austin Perlmutter. Austin is a board-certified internal medicine physician and internationally recognized expert on how environmental influences affect our mental and brain health.
He is the co-author of the New York Times and international bestseller - Brain Wash which he wrote with his father Dr. David Perlmutter who has been on the podcast. Austin currently serves as the Senior Director of Science and Clinical Innovation at Big Bold Health, where he is running an IRB-approved pilot trial exploring the effects of polyphenols on epigenetic expression.
His overarching focus is in helping people find non-pharmaceutical strategies for getting "stuckness" out of their brains and bodies using the best that science and nature have to offer.
Please enjoy!
