Podcast appearances and mentions of Leonard G Rowntree

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Thrive Market, and Cozy Earth.Uric acid is a central player in metabolic mayhem. Despite its long association with gout and kidney stones, it's involved in so much more—especially our metabolic disease epidemic. There are three things that raise our levels of uric acid: purines, alcohol, and fructose. The latter is the biggest challenge, due to its overwhelming presence in our Standard American Diet. That doesn't mean all fruit is bad or even that all alcohol and purine-rich foods have the same effect. Like all parts of health and nutrition, there are nuances we need to consider to create optimal health.That's why I'm so excited to take a deep dive into the topic of uric acid with my friend and colleague Dr. David Perlmutter. Dr.Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author. He serves on the Board of Directors and is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition. He is the author of Grain Brain among others, and his new book, Drop Acid was just released.

Today I have the honor of reconnecting with Dr. David Perlmutter. Dr. Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author. He joined me once before on episode 141: Reclaim your Brain, and we spoke about his book, Brainwash. He is with me today to talk about his newest book, Drop Acid, which focuses on the role of uric acid, fructose, metabolism, and metabolic health.  In the wonderful work he does, Dr. Perlmutter brings to light how our diets profoundly impact our metabolic health and metabolic markers and talks about the many changes we can make regarding our food choices and the supplements we use. In this episode, we have a mind-blowing conversation! Dr. Perlmutter dives into how our bodies process uric acid, the impact of alcohol and fructose consumption, and how our metabolic health is worsening due to our current dietary choices. We talk about how high fructose corn syrup impairs insulin and leptin production signaling which translates into no satiety. We discuss the impact of metabolic health on brain function, resulting in one in every ten people older than sixty-five having Alzheimer's. We also explain how obesity impacts cognitive and behavioral health and talk about how we can prevent all of those problems. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Dr. Perlmutter gives examples of illnesses in the group of chronic degenerative diseases that the World Health Organization tells us are the number one cause of death on our planet. He highlights the importance of identifying their causes. The role of uric acid in human survival. Dr. Perlmutter shares some frightening statistics regarding the health of American adults and children and explains how bad lifestyle choices are threatening our ability to live a long and healthy life.  What is uric acid, where does it come from, and how are we getting it into our diets?  When we gain control of uric acid and combine it with healthy lifestyle choices, it can become a powerful tool, influence us positively, and help us regain and maintain our health. The difference between high fructose corn syrup and fructose in fruit. What does uric acid do in the body? The impact of fructose and uric acid on the brain. Why do high levels of salt consumption relate to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension? What does uric acid do that is threatening to our physical health? The fundamental importance of following a plant-based diet. Doctors can use a tape measure to measure people's risk of developing dementia. Why do c-section babies have an increased risk of developing metabolic issues? Dr. Perlmutter talks about his LUV (Lower Uric Values) program, designed to help people reduce their uric acid levels.  Bio: Dr. Perlmutter received his M.D. degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine, where he was awarded the Leonard G.

You've Been Brain Washed, Here's How to Fix It!!!   Today you will finally find out why you continue to make choices that aren't aligned with your goals and the person you want to become in the future. What I believe you will discover after listening to this is that you've been “brain washed.” I don't mean this necessary in a manipulative way. It's more or less referring to the pivotal role your environment plays in all areas of your health. It also is closely related to our ability to make decisions, fight inflammation, build meaningful relationships, and manage stress.   Father and son duo, Dr.'s David and Austin Perlmutter join me on the show today. Dr. David Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author.

Austin's focus is on helping others to improve decision-making and quality of life. He is also interested in methods of understanding and reducing burnout in the medical field.   Ultimately, they are both here to help you understand where this massive disconnect between our goals and our decisions stems from and how your brain is being trained to behave impulsively based on environmental patterns, habits, and the daily choices that we make. The good news is that we talk about the path forward so that you can begin to rewire your brain to make better decisions, achieve your goals, optimize your health and become the best version of yourself.    Topics discussed:    Environmental factors that impact decision making   The role of neuroplasticity and how it influences our choices   How social media and technology affect brain health, cognitive function, relationships and stress   Can we use technology in a healthy way?   Implementing the acronym "T.I.M.E." when it comes to assessing social media and technology use   How empathy improves our health and brain function   Why do we make impulsive decisions?   How things like inflammation and nutrition influence all areas of our health   The path forward so that you can rewire your brain to strengthen relationships, reduce stress, improve your health and become the best version of yourself (including a 10 day bootcamp).       Connect with Dr. David Perlmutter:    Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DavidPerlmutterMd   Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidperlmutter   Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3ADavid+Perlmutter+MD&s=relevancerank&text=David+Perlmutter+MD&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1   Connect with Dr. Austin Perlmutter:    Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/austin-perlmutter-bio/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/austinperlmutter/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/austinperlmuttermd/   Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Wash-Thinking-Relationships-Happiness/dp/0316453323/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&qid=1618453199&refinements=p_27%3AAustin+Perlmutter+MD&s=books&sr=1-1&text=Austin+Perlmutter+MD   Connect with Doug:   Instagram: www.instagram.com/dougbopst   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dougbopst   Website: www.dougbopst.com/   Private Facebook Group:   https://www.facebook.com/groups/690686891674188     More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:   www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst    

In our milestone Episode 100, we have the pleasure to meet up again with Dr. David Perlmutter to talk with him about his recent book, Brain Wash. Dr. Perlmutter co-authored the book with his son and fellow physician, Dr. Austin Perlmutter. We discuss the impact of today’s cultural and technological norms and how they can negatively impact our brain and our habits. While people often refer to detoxifying their bodies through nutritional interventions, what Dr. Perlmutter is proposing is detoxifying our brains by making better choices around technology, social interaction, physical fitness, sleep and nutrition. By essentially undertaking a ‘Brain Wash’, we can address multiple issues around both physical and mental health. The book outlines a 10-day plan that includes meal plans and recipes to assist in the cultivation of a healthy, vibrant and meaningful life.Dr. Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author.

We are delighted to have Dr. David Perlmutter joining us today. He is a Board-Certified Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author. He also serves on the Board of Directors and is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition.   Dr. Perlmutter has written several books to educate people on the importance of the physiological connection between the gut and the brain. In this episode, he talks to us about his most recent book, Brain Wash, which he co-authored with his son, Austin Perlmutter, also a physician. The release of Brain Wash was very timely, given the current state of affairs with the growing pandemic, both in the United States and the rest of the world. Be sure to listen in today to find out what motivated Dr. Perlmutter and his son to write Brain Wash and what you can expect to learn from reading it.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN Dr. Perlmutter talks about what inspired him and his son, Austin, to write the book, Brain Wash. We need to recognize that there is hard-wiring in the brain, which relates to how we make our decisions. Dr. Perlmutter describes the two fairly distinct areas of the brain that deal with each type of decision-making. Dr. Perlmutter explains the interesting fact that was discovered about the pre-frontal cortex area of the brain. Dr. Perlmutter explains the detrimental effect that electronics and some other factors have on the evolution of the pre-frontal cortex of the brains of children and teenagers. Dr. Perlmutter talks about how we can go about reconnecting and bringing the pre-frontal cortex back online. That information forms the heart and soul of the book, Brain Wash. As a global community, we need to cultivate the ability to remain open-minded and have cognitive empathy. We need to accept and embrace the notion that people will change their views and their position on things over time. Dr. Perlmutter explains how the quality of our sleep impacts our decision-making. The impact that social media has on our notion of connectedness as humans. Dr. Perlmutter explains how the stress of the pandemic has impacted our brains and the outcome of the pandemic. Our biological age can differ from our chronological age. Dr. Perlmutter explains how that could impact our immune system and our risk for the outcome of Covid. Dr. Perlmutter talks about the powerful benefits of exposing ourselves to nature and the profoundly positive impact it has on our brains. Dr. Perlmutter talks about the importance of getting enough exercise, and why a bit of stress is good for the body. He also shares a way to calculate your ideal heart rate. The three foods that Dr. Perlmutter feels are most beneficial for the brain, to keep the amygdala at bay and serve the executive function of the pre-frontal cortex. Dr. Perlmutter talks about the book that he is working on currently, due for release in 2022.

Social media really just locks people into a single frame of reference. In Brain Wash, we really call for this idea of rekindling cognitive empathy which is a function of the prefrontal cortex because the more we lock into the amygdala by being on social media that looks at just one perspective the more we don't get a good night's sleep, the more we eat inflammatory foods, the less we exercise, the less we engage in nature, and the less we meditate.  - Dr. David Perlmutter   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*     Wellness Force Radio Episode 367 Neurologist and New York Times Best Selling Author of Grain Brain, and Co-Author of his latest book, Brain Wash, Dr. David Perlmutter, returns to share which healthy habits create mental clarity, how to rewire the brain by offsetting inflammation, how social media blocks our cognitive empathy, what disconnection syndrome is and how to overcome it.   Do you find yourself always falling back into the same poor health habits?     Discover how to close the gap between knowing and actually doing the work to consistently create a healthier life for yourself.   ION*Biome Gut Health *Get 15% off of your ION*Biome order with the code JOSH1KS  ION*Gut Health is a gut-strengthening, brain-boosting mineral supplement sourced from 60-million-year-old soil that naturally supports microbiome balance.

Our brains tend to get locked into acting impulsively using an area of the brain called the amygdala and it's happening more and more with our shortsighted behaviors from eating sugar and junk food to staying up late binge-watching Netflix. We do whatever it is that's not necessarily in our best interest but we do it because we don't have the ability many times to access the other part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex, that allows us to basically allow the adult back into the room and help us with our decision making." - Dr. David Perlmutter   The Teeter Totter Between Inflammation & Neuroplasticity "What works directly against neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, the growth of new brain cells, is inflammation. Whatever we do that increases inflammation will tend to make it more difficult for us to engage neuroplasticity. We really want to do our best in order to allow our brains to rewire to do everything we can to offset inflammation. What enhances inflammation that we need to be aware of? Well, we know that there are plenty of foods that are pro-inflammatory; hyper-processed, ultra-processed, simple carbs, bad fats, omega 6s, etc. Not just a bad diet but also plenty of influence from medications such as antibiotics, acid-blocking drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; the list contains more than a thousand but lifestyle habits do fan the flames of inflammation." - Dr. David Perlmutter     Why Sleep Is So Underrated "Even one night of non-restorative sleep is associated with a dramatic uptick in inflammation markers in our bodies and as much of a 60% increase in activity in the amygdala. If it seems like we talk about sleep quite a bit, guess what - there's a good reason. Sleep is so underrated and it's such a powerful on-ramp for better health. In Brain Wash, we talk about it perhaps being the most important on-ramp these days towards reducing inflammation, reducing cortisol, and regaining a connection to the prefrontal cortex and really rebalancing the immune system." - Dr. David Perlmutter   Links From Today's Show  Brain Wash Dr. Austin Perlmutter 086 Dr. David Perlmutter Grain Brain The GRAIN BRAIN Whole Life Plan | Dr. David Perlmutter CV19 Truth Series: Protecting Your Health Freedom Eckhart Tolle The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk 125 Dr. Kirk Parsley  Quantitative and Qualitative Assessment of Glymphatic Flux Using Evans Blue Albumin Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Dr. Matthew Walker 357 Robb Wolf 366 Mark Wolynn What is the Ideal Breakfast?

HOW WHEAT, CARBS, AND SUGAR CAN NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE BRAIN On this week’s #TBT episode of the Open Sky Fitness Podcast, we’re very excited to share this interview with Dr. David Perlmutter! Dr. Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and four-time New York Times bestselling author including Grain Brain and The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan. Click here to see the original show notes Please leave us a review at http://openskyfitness.com/review Join our Open Sky Fitness Facebook Group Check out the 7 Day Paleo Reset With his career, Dr. Perlmutter has created a great notion in preventive medicine that relates back to the brain. With the goal to research and better understand neurological diseases, he has been able to learn what’s underlying them and create programs to target the mechanisms that cause these diseases in the first place. WHAT YOU’LL HEAR ON TODAY’S SHOW We had such a great discussion about how Dr. Perlmutter first discovered how important it was that we recognize the significance between the brain and gut connection, how foods like wheat, carbs, and sugar negatively impact our brain, and how we can take charge to live a healthy life.   THE TRUTH ABOUT COCONUT OIL   “Basically what you’re looking for to be healthy, is to try to avoid inflammation. Inflammation is what causes cardiovascular disease. Reduce processed foods, sugar, and carbohydrates. Eat healthy fats like grass-fed butter and grass-fed beef as well as coconut oil.” – Dr. David Perlmutter   Unfortunately, we didn’t get the chance to talk to Dr. Perlmutter about the latest degrading article from USA Today about coconut oil, Coconut Oil Isn’t Healthy. It’s Never Been Healthy. However, Devon and I did discuss our own view of the benefits of coconut oil plus Dr. Perlmutter’s from his article, Coconut Oil Unhealthy? Behind the Headlines, at the beginning of this episode. You definitely won’t want to miss out on that!   THE GRAIN BRAIN LIFESTYLE     THE ROOT OF INFLAMMATION: THE BRAIN AND GUT CONNECTION   “The gut controls inflammation and inflammation is what we have to control as it relates to the brain and the brain’s destiny.” – Dr. David Perlmutter Inflammation is caused by what happens in the gut. When various bacteria gets through a leaky gut, they can stimulate various immune cells to secrete chemicals which leads to inflammation. Because of poor gut health and inflammation, it can greatly harm the brain. Besides food, there are many other factors that affect the gut and brain including: Bacteria Medications Environment Toxins Lack of Sleep Stress Little Exercise All of these play an important role in the gut’s health and it can explain a lot of different factors such as: Poor Immune System Diabetes Celiac Disease Autism ADHD Adult Obesity   THE STANDARD AMERICAN DIET PROBLEM Before we became farmers, we never ate wheat, carbs, or refined sugar. But then 10,000 years ago, we started to cultivate grain and it’s just been a couple of hundred of years since we began to refine sugar. These have been part of the most dramatic events that have affected the human body in the course of mankind thus far.  Since we’ve introduced processed foods and sugary drinks into our diets, we’ve noticeably become much sicker. There was never a noted case of dementia until the early 1900s and Inuits who lived on fat such as whale blubber never had a case of cardiovascular disease until carbohydrates were introduced to them. Even people who have slightly elevated blood sugar can experience higher levels inflammatory chemicals in the body which could lead to a person developing a disease should they eat foods with gluten or excess amounts of sugar.   ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS AND OBESITY     WHY FAT IS GOOD FOR US   “Fat is your friend. Fat can turn off various enzymes that would otherwise make your body think that it’s starving and store fat. That’s what carbohydrates do by activating insulin. Insulin tells your body that winter is coming so it should make fat by increasing its intake of carbs and sugar. This, more than anything, is why so many Americans are obese.” – Dr. David Perlmutter   Fat is a powerful and efficient fuel source. How? The brain alone is 60% fat and needs fatty foods to survive. Therefore, the more healthy fats we eat like coconut oil, salmon, and avocados, the healthier the brain, gut, and rest of our bodies will be. To live healthy and ward of diseases like dementia and Alzheimer’s, we should lower our carbohydrate intake, eat healthy fats, and exercise. When it comes down to it, chronic neurological diseases are actually quite preventable with the right actions. ABOUT DR.

"Our dietary choices play a major role in determining whether we are going to live into our 80s and 90s and even beyond with a good, functioning brain, or like 50% of people who live to be age 85, we will experience brain decline in the form of Alzheimer's which is a preventable disease."- Dr. David Perlmutter  When we think about brain health, we don't think that our gut has anything to do with it. However, the fact is that the gut has everything to do with how our brains function as we grow older. Neurologist and New York Times Best Selling Author, Dr. David Perlmutter has witnessed the damaging effects that a poor diet can have on our brains. Today is perfect timing with the launch of his new book, The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan, as he shares why we are vulnerable to develop brain degenerative disease and how we can take matters into our own hands in order to live long, healthy lives with a bright mind that is free of illness.   Make the Choice to Have a Healthy Brain Even if a relative of yours was diagnosed with a brain degenerative disease such as Alzheimer's, you have the amazing opportunity to make lifestyle choices to ensure your brain's health. Factors such as sleep, nutrition, stress levels, and exercise can impact your health, but you can also take advantage of them to improve your wellness and lower the chances of brain decline.   Connecting Wellness And Gut Health   "It's a bit humbling to recognize that mood is regulated by our gut. Not only through the process of controlling inflammation, which is a cornerstone player in depression, but that around 90% of our levels of dopamine and serotonin are not manufactured in the brain. They're mostly manufactured in the gut." - Dr. David Perlmutter     If the gut is leaky and we lack serotonin, it can be linked to feelings of depression. In a study with probiotic yogurt, researchers found a dramatic change in brain function and mood in the test subjects that ate the yogurt compared to those who did not.   Build a Healthy Gut At this moment, there is a diverse community of healthy, gut bacteria living inside of us. If any harm comes our gut's way, it can increase the chances of having a leaky gut. This leaky gut can lead to inflammation and degenerative diseases including: Alzheimer's Parkinson's Diabetes Multiple Sclerosis Cancer The right way to eat food, is to focus on following a diet that helps reduce the chance of a leaky gut and inflammation from happening inside the body.   Do You Have a Leaky Gut? In today's world, we should assume that it is likely that we all have somewhat of a leaky gut. We would have to take a test or participate in a study to know for sure by having an LPS level done in a lab. There's a higher chance that you have a leaky gut if you have an inflammatory condition such as: Depression Early onset Parkinson's Alzheimer's Joint issues Skin inflammation Autism What can you do to heal your leaky gut? To help heal your gut, remove any offensive agents that may be harming it such as any overuse of: Antibiotics GMOs Drinking chlorinated water Artificial sugars and sweeteners Acid blocking drugs Proton pump inhibitors Non-steroid and anti-inflammatory drugs Stress To heal our gut, we need to stimulate and increase the diversity of the organisms that live inside of the gut by exercising and eating foods that are rich in pre-biotic fiber that helps nurture our gut bacteria: Mexican yam/ jicamo Onion Garlic Leek Dandelion greens Kimchi Kobucha Yogurt Fermented vegetables   The Truth About Sugar and Gluten   "Inflammation caused by sugar consumption can lead to diabetes and quadruples your chances for Alzheimer's Disease." - Dr. David Perlmutter   For decades, we've been told that gluten and sugar is good for our health and that fat is bad. However, recent research has shown that this is the exact opposite. Healthy fat is good for both the body and brain function, but gluten and sugar (including artificial sugar and sweeteners) can cause our insulin levels to spike which leads to inflammation in the body. In fact, according to Dr. Perlmutter, artificial sweeteners were created to help people control the amount of sugars in their diet, but still be able to taste something sweet. Unfortunately, artificial sugars and sweeteners can dramatically increase a person's risk for obesity and diabetes. Take your health into your own hands by making good choices. Eat healthy and avoid any sugary drinks, high gluten foods, and anything labeled "sugar free" or "contains artificial sugars."   The Best Sources of Healthy Fat There's a lot of taboo hanging around the words, "fat" and "fatty food." However, healthy sources of fat are great for our bodies and important for our brain's health. According to Dr. Perlmutter, the brain is already made up of a lot of saturated fat and even human breast milk is 50% saturated fat. If you want to ensure that you follow a healthy diet, use the Ketogenic and Mediterranean diets as a good model to follow. The best sources of healthy fats include: Extra virgin olive oil (organic) Fatty fish with DHA Nuts Seeds Avocado Grass-fed and free-range meat Olive oil particularly is good source of polyphenols that act as antioxidants and nurture the gut bacteria. This source of healthy fat provides both mono and unsaturated fats for our brain cell building blacks. When you follow a Ketogenic or Mediterranean based diet, but add extra amounts of olive or cocnut oil, your cognitive function can improve dramatically.   A Diet to Help Prevent Alzheimer's Disease To better understand your body and gene makeup, there are numerous services available from companies that offer biometrics tests including: Wellness FX 23andMe Promethease The sooner you better understand your genes and if there is a chance for you to have an inflammatory disease, the sooner you can take action to fight against it. Depending on our dietary fat composition, there is a risk of dementia or Alzheimer's Disease, but it can be handled by following a diet that includes food that is high in healthy fats. As mentioned before, we should be eating more nuts, seeds, olive oil, and avocado. Monosaturated fats such as almond oil, almond butter/nut butter, an oleic acid in sunflower oil can help prevent degenerative brain disease. However, we should avoid canola oil, vegetable oil, corn oil and other modified oils in our diets. These are the unhealthy oils that can harm our body and brain function.   Build a Healthy Brain with Aerobics If you want to build a healthy brain, change your diet, but also increase the amount of aerobic exercise. Working out helps to turn on BDNF (Brain-derived neurotrophic factor) which serves as a growth hormone for the brain and helps increase the number of memory cells throughout our lifetime. People who exercise regularly can reduce their chances for Alzheimer's Disease by 50%! One of the best things you can do to help your brain stay healthy is to include aerobic exercise for 20 minutes every day.   6 Key Factors For a Whole Life Plan According to Dr. Perlmutter, there are 6 key factors and goals that take place in creating a whole life plan for a healthy brain and gut: Reducing and controlling inflammation Turning the body into a fat burning machine Balancing levels of bacteria Balancing hormones and increasing leptin sensitivity Taking care of our genes Balancing our life   About Dr. David Perlmutter Dr. Perlmuter is a Neurologist and Fellow of the American College of Nutrition who received his M.D. degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine where he was awarded the Leonard G.
