Preserve and Protect Your Brain: The Grain Brain Plan

Join Reid Tracy as he speaks with David Perlmutter, the New York Times best-selling author of Grain Brain, whose groundbreaking work has shed light on the connection between nutrition and brain health. Dr. Perlmutter takes us through the current understanding of health and wellness, and debunks the myth of the benefits of a low-fat diet, listing a number of fat sources that are actually health promoting, including nuts, seeds, olive oil, and avocado.

He then outlines the dietary and lifestyle patterns that reduce the risk of illness, while also educating us on the dangers of carbs, sugars, and grains, which are found in so many typical diets. Dr. Perlmutter explains how elevated levels of blood sugar are toxic to the brain and can lead to dementia. But there is good news: Incurable diseases like Alzheimer’s are in fact preventable, with a nutrient-rich diet and exercise regimen that can actually promote the growth of brain cells. Learn how you can empower yourself to live a long, healthy, disease-free life.
