Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After reading all of Dr. Perlmutter's amazing books, Brain Maker is by far the most cutting-edge. You'll learn why you want to include certain foods and avoid certain substances so you can optimize and reprogram the communication between your body's trillions of gut bacteria and your brain. You'll be surprised to learn the list of compounds that disturb your brain's critical set point: they are in diet drinks, animal products, and household cleaning supplies. Dr. Perlmutter shares new research about bacterial-derived compounds that are causing dis-ease in children as well. (The section about autism and gut bacteria was my favorite part of the book. Not many authors are sharing natural ways to minimize the bacterial-synthesized compounds that are causing erratic behavior in children.) Last but not least, Dr. P has new recipes and brain-maker food plans that are not found anywhere else. This book contains health tips to give you a completely new take on foundational issues, such as weight loss, improved blood sugar control, sharper memory, and balanced behavior in adults and children. It's a great read.
