The best-selling 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 10 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.

People who viewed this also viewed...


















Be aware that the book is complicated with numerous scientific references cited. It can be slow going and I occasionally needed to listen to several sections more than once. That said, the book is excellent and filled with life changing information. Worth the effort and highly recommended listening.

What did you love best about Brain Maker?
Brain Maker is on the cutting edge of research. As with Grain Brain, Dr. Perlmutter is way ahead of his medical colleagues once again in his approach to seeking answers about what causes chronic disease. Instead of relying on the standard Western medical approach of treating symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs, Dr. Perlmutter looks at underlying mechanisms in the body - specifically our gut microbiota to determine why we are sick in the first place and what to do to nourish our bodies back to health - naturally. This enlightened approach would change the course of our sick and diseased society that blindly relies on Western medicine, drugs and food companies to guide it.What was one of the most memorable moments of Brain Maker?
Brain Maker makes me now understand the absolute importance of our gut microbiome in achieving health and happiness. It is so unfortunate so many people are suffering such debilitating illness because they (and their doctor) do not have the knowledge of how healthy gut bacteria can change their lives. They think taking a pharmaceutical drug that only takes a sledge hammer to a symptom will somehow make them healthy. Nothing could be farther from the truth.Which scene was your favorite?
Extremely informative in a conversational way. The explanation of the science is complete yet easy to understand. The personal stories bring home the reality of how critical our gut health is to almost every aspect of our lives - the brain, immune system, emotions and so much more.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Bugs and Brains - A Beautiful RelationshipThe critical link of the gut microbiome to a healthy brain, happy emotions and a bountiful life.

DOCTORS TAKE NOTE!!! Please go outside your paradigms of Western based medicine that is so influenced by Big Pharma. Treat the patient - not the symptoms.Pediatricians - STOP damaging these poor kids with course after course of antibiotics. You are compromising their health for the rest of their lives!

As someone who follows a Paleo diet I highly believe in the connection between physical and mental health.
I work in the healthcare industry and believe probiotics are the wave of the future. So much information in this book just makes sense. Plain and simple. It's easy to understand and there are so many takeaways.
If you're looking to improve your health and don't believe in a "pill for every ill" mentality than this book is for you.
Probiotics are the future of health
