Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brain Maker A Complete Summary Brain Maker is a book written by David Perlmutter. The book came out last year, and in it Dr. Perlmutter explains how microorganisms, which inhabit the human body, are actually the key to solving many neurological disorders. Dr. Perlmutter thinks that microorganisms are the solution to many human neurological disorders because he saw what can happen if these microorganisms are treated right. The "key ingredient" of Perlmutter's book is paying special attention to our gut health. The thesis is that by paying more attention to our gut health and condition, we can even cure (or at least improve) many neurological disorders and diseases. How exactly we can improve our neurological health and what tricks we can use to so are what this book is about. The premise is here and it is definitely a promising one; to think that the solution for many neurological disorders lies in simply paying attention to what kind of food we eat and when we consume that food is astonishing. But how exactly are bacteria in the human gut connected with our depression and other neurological conditions? The answer waits for us in this summary of Brain Maker. Here Is A Preview Of What You Will Get: In Brain Maker, you will get a summarized version of the book. In Brain Maker, you will find the book analyzed to further strengthen your knowledge. In Brain Maker, you will get some fun multiple choice quizzes, along with answers to help you learn about the book. Get a copy, and learn more about Brain Maker.

Book excerpt: The bestselling author of Grain Brain uncovers the powerful role of gut bacteria in determining your brain's destiny. Debilitating brain disorders are on the rise-from children diagnosed with autism and ADHD to adults developing dementia at younger ages than ever before. But a medical revolution is underway that can solve this problem: Astonishing new research is revealing that the health of your brain is, to an extraordinary degree, dictated by the state of your microbiome - the vast population of organisms that live in your body and outnumber your own cells ten to one. What's taking place in your intestines today is determining your risk for any number of brain-related conditions. In Brain Maker, Dr. Perlmutter explains the potent interplay between intestinal microbes and the brain, describing how the microbiome develops from birth and evolves based on lifestyle choices, how it can become "sick," and how nurturing gut health through a few easy strategies can alter your brain's destiny for the better. With simple dietary recommendations and a highly practical program of six steps to improving gut ecology, Brain Maker opens the door to unprecedented brain health potential.

This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary, Analysis & Review of Dr. David Perlmutter’s and Kristin Loberg’s Brain Maker by Eureka Preview: Brain Maker details the complex microbiome that lives in the human gut and how it affects the brain. Rising rates of Alzheimer’s disease, mood disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), multiple sclerosis, autism, and other conditions are linked to imbalances in the thousands of microorganisms that colonize the gut, primarily bacteria. Disruptions to this microbiome can begin at birth for children born via cesarean section because these babies do not acquire their mother’s microbiome traits from the birth canal. Instead, they pick up less beneficial bacteria from exposure to skin. Then there is the ultra-clean, antibiotic-laden, high stress lifestyle and low-fiber diet of the United States and other wealthy nations. Finally, exposure to environmental toxins also leads to disruptions to the microbiome.

Download or read book Grain Brain written by David Perlmutter and published by Little, Brown Spark. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The devastating truth about the effects of wheat, sugar, and carbs on the brain, with a 4-week plan to achieve optimum health. In Grain Brain, renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, exposes a finding that's been buried in the medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain. Even so-called healthy carbs like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD, epilepsy, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, decreased libido, and much more. Groundbreaking and timely, Grain Brain shows that the fate of your brain is not in your genes. It's in the food you eat. The cornerstone of all degenerative conditions, including brain disorders, is inflammation, which can be triggered by carbs, especially containing gluten or high in sugar. Dr. Perlmutter explains what happens when the brain encounters common ingredients in your daily bread and fruit bowls, how statin drugs may be erasing your memory, why a diet high in "good fats" is ideal, and how to spur the growth of new brain cells at any age. Dr. Perlmutter's revolutionary 4-week plan shows you how to keep your brain healthy, vibrant, and sharp while dramatically reducing your risk for debilitating neurological diseases as well as relieving more common, everyday conditions -- without drugs. Easy-to-follow strategies, delicious recipes, and weekly goals help you to put the plan into action. With a blend of anecdotes, cutting-edge research, and accessible, practical advice, Grain Brain teaches you how to take control of your "smart genes," regain wellness, and enjoy lifelong health and vitality.

The mysteries unfold so organically and stealthily that you are unaware of his machinations until they come to stunning fruition . . . Powers accomplishes something magnificent.” —Colson Whitehead, The New York Times Book Review On a winter night on a remote Nebraska road, twenty-seven-year-old Mark Schluter has a near-fatal car accident. His older sister, Karin, returns reluctantly to their hometown to nurse Mark back from a traumatic head injury. But when Mark emerges from a coma, he believes that this woman—who looks, acts, and sounds just like his sister—is really an imposter. When Karin contacts the famous cognitive neurologist Gerald Weber for help, he diagnoses Mark as having Capgras syndrome. The mysterious nature of the disease, combined with the strange circumstances surrounding Mark’s accident, threatens to change all of their lives beyond recognition. In The Echo Maker, Richard Powers proves himself to be one of our boldest and most entertaining novelists.

Author David Perlmutter issues a call for his readers to recognize that human fate does not decree that each of us reach the end of life in a fog of dementia as the brain naturally declines with age. Instead, the cause of cognitive and mental decline lurks in the conventional modern diet in the form of gluten, carbohydrates, sugars, and grains. A life of brain impairment does not have to be a genetic or age-related inevitability. It can be prevented with a commitment to dietary changes. The introduction of grains and gluten to the human diet was disastrous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tour through the groundbreaking science behind the enigmatic, but crucial, brain developments of adolescence and how those translate into teenage behavior The brain creates every feeling, emotion, and desire we experience, and stores every one of our memories. And yet, until very recently, scientists believed our brains were fully developed from childhood on. Now, thanks to imaging technology that enables us to look inside the living human brain at all ages, we know that this isn't so. Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, one of the world's leading researchers into adolescent neurology, explains precisely what is going on in the complex and fascinating brains of teenagers--namely that the brain goes on developing and changing right through adolescence--with profound implications for the adults these young people will become. Drawing from cutting-edge research, including her own, Blakemore shows: How an adolescent brain differs from those of children and adults Why problem-free kids can turn into challenging teens What drives the excessive risk-taking and all-consuming relationships common among teenagers And why many mental illnesses--depression, addiction, schizophrenia--present during these formative years Blakemore's discoveries have transformed our understanding of the teenage mind, with consequences for law, education policy and practice, and, most of all, parents.

Book A Summary and Critique of David Perlmutter s Brain Maker

Download or read book A Summary and Critique of David Perlmutter s Brain Maker written by M. B. Levenbrook and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not the actual David Perlmutter's Brain Maker: The Power of Gut Microbes to Heal and Protect Your Brain-for Life. The primary objective of this book is to bring insightful discussion and critique of Perlmutter's Brain Maker to readers everywhere. Microbes, the oldest form of life on the Earth, are single-celled organisms. They are so small that millions of them could easily fit into theeye of a needle. We can see them only when we look through high-powered microscopes. Microbes include bacteria, archaea, protists and fungi. With their ability to endure harsh conditions, it is no wonder that microbes are among the most ancient life forms that ever populated the Earth. Microbe fossils date back more than 3.5 billion years. When animal life emerged on the Earth, microbes had already existed on our planet for approximately 3 billion years. In many ways, microbes have played a significant role in making our planet and life on our planet what they are today. Without microbes, plants would not be able to grow, there would be significantly less oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere, garbage would not decay and humans would be very different from what we are today. As plants and animals came into existence, they became dependent on their interaction with microbes. Plants were able to colonize the surface of our planet thanks to the microbes, which still help plants extract important nutrients from soil. Microbes also populated animals' guts, helping them to absorb nutrients from food that animals would be unable to digest otherwise. In return, microbes gained mobility by travelling in animals' guts. Bacteria were discovered in the late 17th century by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, the Dutch tradesman and scientist who observed these tiny life forms through a microscope. In the 19th century, Ilya Mechnikov, the Russian-born biologist, discovered a connection between human life expectancy and a healthy balance of bacteria in the human body. He also proposed that the number of good bacteria living inside a healthy human body must be greater than the number of bad bacteria. The latest scientific studies conducted around the world now agree with the idea that bacteria that live in the human gut greatly affect human health and that problems with gut bacteria can even result in brain diseases. The findings of these studies, which have been available for years, are reviewed and discussed in Perlmutter's book, Brain Maker. He advocates in his book the idea that the currrent "epidemic" of brain disorders can be directly related to the notion that many people's guts are lacking a healthy and diverse microbial population. Perlmutter proposes in Brain Maker that a dietary prescription can heal the gut bacteria, preventing chronic inflammation and the action of free radicals. He also advocates such treatments for restoring and supporting gut health as probiotic enemas and fecal transplantation. In this book, you will find a concise and clear summary of the key ideas and facts of Perlmutter's book, Brain Maker, as well as a review of credible ideas, facts and findings that supplement or contrast with those in Perlmutter's book-these "beyond-Perlmutter's-book" ideas, facts and findings will provide you with a bigger picture of the quetions discussed in Perlmutter's book and help you better understand and critically think about Perlmutter's book. In the the third section of this book, "A Critique of the Principal Messages in Brain Maker,"you will find a reiew of the findings of serious medical studies, which indicate that good diet, exercise, probiotic enemas and fecal transplantation, as well as avoidance of unnecessary stress and antibiotics may not be sufficient to heal the sick gut.
