The Beautiful Mind

With so much attention paid to maintaining our outward appearance, inner health is often neglected. Leading research now recognizes that the very same factors damaging our physical appearance, inflammation and the action of free radicals, actually play a pivotal role in the physical and functional compromise of the brain as we age. This presentation focuses on the lifestyle and nutritional factors proven to have profound efficacy in maintaining and improving brain function as well as creating a brain more resistant to disease.

Further, exciting new research confirms that the brain actually retains the ability for self-renewal. That is, we constantly grow new brain cells throughout our entire lifetimes. This process, neurogenesis, can be amplified by specific nutrients which will be presented.

  • DHA, a nutrient found in fish oil and marine algae, reduces inflammation and stimulates the growth of new brain cells
  • Specific antioxidants and other lifestyle factors including exercise are brain protective
  • "The secret of coconut oil" once popularized as an exotic additive for hair conditioners, actually has profoundly beneficial effects in terms of brain health and function

David Perlmutter, MD, FACN, ABIHM, Board Certified Neurologist, Director
