The quality, quantity and composition
of your brain is dictated quite a bit by the bacteria in our gut. According to
celebrated brain specialist Dr. David David Perlmutter, he further explains the
connection in his new book “Brain Maker.”
Dr. Perlutter is a board certified
neurologist and fellow of the American College of Nutrition. He also has a
clinic in Naples, Florida, and he’s been very active in the publishing and
findings in peer-reviewed medical journals.
His previous book, “Grain Brain,”
topped the New York Times bestseller list for 54 weeks. He is arguably the best
natural medicine neurologist in the US.
Most neurologist fail to consider how
lifestyle impacts the neurological disorders they diagnose and treat every day.
Prevention needs to be the focus of such diseases.
Microbiome research Shreds Notion of
Reductionism
It turns out that this notion of
reductionism- where your body is reducd to its individual parts- is completely
nonsensical and grossly flawed. As explained by Dr. Perlmutter, every system in
your body interrelates in a what that ultimately causes the manifestation of
either health or disease.
Research Shows Swapping Gut Bacteria
Can Reverse Type 2 Diabetes and Other Diseases
A researcher in Amsterdam, Dr. Max
Nieuwdorp, has published a number of studies looking at changes in the
microbiome that are characteristic of Type 2 Diabetes.
In one trial, he was able to reverse
Type 2 Diabetes in ALL of the 250 study participants by doing fecal
transplantations on them. Remarkable as it may sound, by changing the makeup of
the gut bacteria, the diabetes resolved.
All in all, if you nourish your
Microbiome, and it will flourish.
Two key strategies to nourish your
Microbiome are”
1. Avoid antibiotics unless they are
absolutely necessary.
2. Avoid confined animal feeding
operation meats.
