Show notes

Brain Wash: The Rise of Neuroinflammation Jun 24, 2020

Show notes

We know that modern lifestyle and dietary choices, including lack of sleep, stress and the Western diet, all contribute to chronic inflammation. It can be a real struggle to make healthy choices for ourselves.

Dr David Perlmutter returns to FX Medicine to share the details of his new book, Brain Wash, diving into how inflammation influences our mood and actions, how to leverage the gut-brain connection, why having a sweet tooth isn’t so bad from an evolutionary perspective, and how all this translates into learning how to make better decisions about our health.
