How To Prevent & Reverse Damage To Your Brain- The Shocking Root Cause of Alzhimer's

"The brain is very energy hungry. And as such, problems with metabolism, how it creates the energy, would be very obvious then in the brain."

In today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I sit down with renowned neurologist and bestselling author Dr. David Perlmutter to explore the critical connection between metabolism and brain health. Dr. Perlmutter shares groundbreaking insights on preventing and potentially reversing Alzheimer’s disease through metabolic health. As someone whose father suffered from Alzheimer’s, he brings both scientific expertise and personal experience to this crucial conversation. We dive deep into how modern dietary habits are impacting our brain health, the promising research around GLP-1 agonists, and practical steps everyone can take to protect their cognitive function. Get ready for an eye-opening discussion that could change how you think about brain health and aging.

"The reality is that the metabolic defects of the brain that presage to the development of Alzheimer's disease begin 20 to 30 years prior to the clinical manifestations."@Dr. David Perlmutter
