717: Neurologist: The Real Cause of Brain Disease — and How to Protect Yourself | Dr. David Perlmutter

Based on the latest science, 'Brain Wash' reveals how modern life, including digital media and unhealthy lifestyle choices, undermines our mental and physical health. The book presents a 10-day bootcamp program, including a meal plan and 40 original recipes, to help readers think more clearly, make better decisions, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier habits. It focuses on the impact of inflammation on the brain and provides strategies to regain control over decision-making, promote empathy, and foster a more fulfilling life.

Drawing on decades of research, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer outlines a revolutionary new understanding that unites existing knowledge about mental illness within a single framework: Mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain. The book details the connections between mental illness and metabolic disorders, including diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and other conditions. It also sheds light on new treatment pathways that apply to various mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, alcoholism, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, autism, and schizophrenia. Palmer pairs cutting-edge science with practical advice and strategies to help people reclaim their mental health, emphasizing the role of metabolism in mental health and the potential of dietary and metabolic interventions for treatment.

In 'Drop Acid', Dr. David Perlmutter explores the role of uric acid in metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The book provides scientific evidence and practical advice on how to lower uric acid levels through dietary changes, particularly by reducing intake of fructose and purines. It includes a three-week diet plan and outlines foods to avoid and those that help lower uric acid levels, aiming to achieve optimal health and prevent chronic conditions.

In 'Brain Defenders,' Dr. David Perlmutter examines mechanisms that drive brain inflammation and degeneration and offers an actionable roadmap for prevention. He emphasizes the role of microglia — the brain's immune cells — and how lifestyle factors like nutrition, sleep, and environment influence their balance. The book blends current science with practical interventions aimed at calming neuroinflammation and supporting cognitive resilience. Throughout, Perlmutter provides steps readers can take to modify risk factors and promote long-term brain health. The book also includes resources and bonuses for pre-order readers to help implement its recommendations.
