The Power of Gut Microbes to Heal and Protect Your Brain for Life
Astonishing new research is revealing that the health of your brain is, to an extraordinary degree, dictated by the state of your micro biome—the vast population of organisms that live in your body and outnumber your own cells ten to one. What’s taking place in your intestines today is determining your risk for any number of brain-related conditions.
In BRAIN MAKER, Dr. Perlmutter explains the potent interplay between intestinal microbes and the brain, describing how the microbiome develops from birth and evolves based on lifestyle choices, how it can become “sick,” and how nurturing gut health through a few easy strategies can alter your brain’s destiny for the better.
With simple dietary recommendations and a highly practical program of six steps to improving gut ecology, BRAIN MAKER opens the door to unprecedented brain health potential.

Key Takeaways
Human microbiome play a pivotal role in health, regulating virtually every aspect of our physiology and metabolism. They regulate our immunity, they control the degree of inflammation in the body, they make vitamins and manufacture chemicals called neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine that determine whether were happy or sad, joyful or depressed.
What can we do to have the most health supportive microbiome?
1. Avoid Antibiotics unless absolutely necessary.
2. How we have our children plays a critical role in the development of their micro biomes.
3. Food is critical choose organic, antibiotic free food whenever you can. Diet low in sugar, fiber rich foods, prebiotic fibers (jicama, artichoke, garlic, onion, leeks, asparagus) fermented foods (kimchi, cultured yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, fermented vegetables, kefir), high quality broad spectrum probiotic supplement
What empowering information it is that around the globe, our most well respected scientists are now confirming that our gut bacteria hold the keys to incredible health and vitality.
