David Perlmutter M.D. - Empowering Neurologist: The food, the facts, the science to control your genetic destiny. In our ever-increasingly polarized world, there’s one topic of interest in health and wellness that really seems to call out clear differences in opinion. Glyphosate, the herbicide and active ingredient in products like Roundup, has been touted by some as being a wonderful and safe way to rid crops and even homes of pesky weeds. And clearly, those who feel positively about this chemical are being heard as nearly 150,000 tons of glyphosate are sprayed onto American crops every year ..read more

David Perlmutter M.D. - Empowering Neurologist: The food, the facts, the science to control your genetic destiny. It’s generally assumed that we should expect that our cognitive function is going to decline as we age. But, this isn’t exactly what the science reveals. While Alzheimer’s treatment is in the news spotlight, it seems reasonable to consider that our brain function might well remain preserved as we age. In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers evaluated a group of centenarians, meaning people who had lived to be at least 100 years of age. The study involved 340 i ..read more

David Perlmutter M.D. - Empowering Neurologist: The food, the facts, the science to control your genetic destiny. Over the years we’ve heard so much information about how diet affects things like heart attack risk, bone density, diabetes and blood sugar control, as well as, more recently, the brain. We’ve known over the past decade that there does appear to be a relationship between consuming the so-called Mediterranean diet and lower risk for Alzheimer’s disease. But the question needs to be asked in terms of actual biomarkers that threaten the brain as to how diet relates to these harbingers ..read more

David Perlmutter M.D. - Empowering Neurologist: The food, the facts, the science to control your genetic destiny. While we accept the notion of the important influences of lifestyle choices as they relate, for example, to the heart, the immune system, lung function, longevity, and even cancer risk, the notion that what we choose to eat and the amount of exercise we get, in terms of influencing the brain, until recently, has been kept off the table. Fortunately, there are dedicated researchers around the country who are part of a vanguard team, making it very clear that we are, in fact, the arc ..read more

David Perlmutter M.D. - Empowering Neurologist: The food, the facts, the science to control your genetic destiny. With ever increasing rates of overweight and obesity in America, we see, almost in lockstep, increasing rates of diseases that are linked to weight gain. Likely, mostly for cosmetic reasons, weight loss programs are proliferating at a record pace. And, truth be known, most weight loss programs, with strict adherence, will lead to weight loss, despite how they may vary in the diets that are recommended. While this challenges the notion as to what type of diet should be recommended f ..read more
