Main Points From Today’s Episode We’ve known for quite some time that the so-called Alzheimer’s drugs don’t work. A recent study by the Journal of the American Medical Association found that not only do Alzheimer's drugs not work, they're actually associated with a more rapid cognitive decline. Research from the Mayo Clinic showed that people who followed a diet lower in fat and higher in carbs had about an 83% increased risk of dementia in contrast to those who followed a higher fat diet, whose risk was reduced by 46%. You don't need to buy anything, you just have to change what you're eating! The size of the human brain continued to increase until about 12,000 years ago, which was around the time of the development of agriculture. Since then, our brains have shrunk by about 10%.

Dr. David Perlmutter made waves years ago with the release of his book Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar—Your Brain's Silent Killers, which elucidated the connection between gluten, inflammation, and various modern diseases long before the mainstream media caught on. He's also a long-time member of the mbg family (and now an official collective member!)—he spoke at revitalize in 2016 about the connection between our guts and brains before anyone else was discussing it. Now, the neurologist is back with a new release of the book and tons of modern science back info on what we should actually put in our bodies. In this episode of the podcast, we dive deep into the science of eating for both brain and body health, including a fascinating discussion about Alzheimer’s—he shared some statistics that blew even my mind! We also talk about how, as he says, "the most important shift in the human lifestyle choice paradigm has been a shift from a diet that was fundamentally deriving its calories from fat, protein, and fiber to one that was deriving most of its calories from carbohydrates, with the introduction a couple hundred years ago from processed carbohydrates"—and what exactly that shift has done to our bodies. We also get into eating for DNA, whether sugar or grains are worse for your body, the ketogenic diet, and much, much more. This is a fascinating episode for anyone interested in eating for better brain health and better health generally.
