GRAIN BRAIN

Neurologist and researcher David Perlmutter explains what happens when the brain encounters common carbs like wheat and fructose (the natural sugar found in fruit), and why an extremely low-carb, high-fat diet is ideal.

He debunks beliefs about antioxidants, demonstrates how we can take control of the "master switches" in our DNA, and offers an in-depth look at some of our most pernicious maladies--dementia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, insomnia, chronic headaches, bipolar disorder, and depression, explaining how all of these can be remedied without drugs.
The book offers a 30-day plan to a healthier brain--with daily menus, recipes, and supplement recommendations. With anecdotes based on Dr. Perlmutter's work, scientific research, and more, GRAIN BRAIN teaches us how we can take control of our brain health and change our lives forever.

Dr. Perlmutter, a friend of both Andy Weil and Mark Hyman, is the only doctor in the country who is a board-certified neurologist and a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition. He has a broad range of media experience and has appeared on 20/20, The Today Show, CNN, Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, and many other shows. He runs The Perlmutter Health Center in Naples, Florida. Kristin Loberg, his writer, worked on David Agus’s #1 bestseller The End of Illness.
