How To Heal & Improve Your Brain Health

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adopting an anti-inflammatory diet and reducing our screen time are some of the best ways to combat long-term degenerative health and brain diseases. I’m joined by</span> <a href="https://www.drperlmutter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. David Perlmutter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, my dear friend, neurologist, and co-author of Brain Wash, to talk about disconnection syndrome and our brain’s health.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first thing David talks about is how important sleep is. It’s the most important thing we can do to improve our overall health and our brain function, but so many people don’t prioritize it. Poor sleep has been linked to bad decisions, impaired memory function, and so much more as it leads to a decline in our amygdala.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">David explains what we can do to reconnect with our amygdala. Doing so will help us stave off degenerative brain diseases and improve our overall brain health. He tells us that there are a number of different lifestyle changes you can make to help improve your brain’s recovery, and even help prevent degenerative diseases. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of these changes is to adopt an anti-inflammatory diet. The current Western diet is full of inflammatory foods that have been linked to long-term health and brain diseases, and unfortunately, as these foods spread across the globe, other cultures will start having a prevalence for them as well. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our society’s increased use of electronic screens is also contributing to degenerative brain diseases. David shares the acronym he’s created in his new book, Brain Wash: T.I.M.E. and how we can all keep it in mind to help limit our unnecessary screen time. We’ve all been there when we go on to check one thing and two hours later are mindlessly scrolling through social media!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 40
