About this listen

 Dr. David Perlmutter's groundbreaking #1 New York Times bestseller, now fully updated with the latest breakthroughs in nutrition and brain science.

Since its publication in 2013, Grain Brain has transformed the way millions understand the impact of gluten, sugar, and carbs - not just on their bodies but on their brains. Translated into over 30 languages and embraced by more than 1.5 million readers worldwide, this book has empowered people to shed excess weight, overcome anxiety and depression, manage chronic conditions, and proactively protect their cognitive health - all naturally, without reliance on medications.

In this newly revised edition, Dr. Perlmutter expands on his revolutionary approach with fresh insights from cutting-edge research. He reveals how prioritizing fat as the brain's primary fuel, combined with a non-GMO, gluten-free, low-carb lifestyle, supports sharp cognitive function and long-term neurological wellness more powerfully than ever before.

Packed with updated scientific data, practical strategies, enhanced testing protocols, supplement recommendations, and a wealth of new recipes, Grain Brain equips you to take control of your health journey and unlock vibrant brain and body vitality for life.©2013 David Perlmutter (P)2013 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Diets, Nutrition & Healthy Eating Fitness, Diet & Nutrition Health Gluten-Free Diet Nutrition Healthy Diet Mental Health Medicine Human Brain Low Carb

Lifechanging

I love this book. It is an incredibly important book. The author - David Perlmutter, MD, FACN, ABIHM is a Board-Certified Neurologist and Fellow of the American College of Nutrition. Alzheimer's and Dementia are among the leading causes of death in the US. Many other respected Doctors such as Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Dale Bredesen and Dr. William Davis agree with this book.

A must-read if you care about your brain.

If you are concerned about developing age related brain disorders, this book provides research and a road map for prevention. While still needing to reconcile some points with dominant thinking by cardiologists, I appreciate the divergent perspective and will continue to follow the research and Dr Perlmutters thinking. Very helpful indeed!

I enjoyed it all. The insights just kept me wanting to hear more. I could relate to it on so many levels. The narrator is very easy to listen to. He has a very calming voice while delivering what could be quite shocking material for some.

The content and research behind it.

Very eye opening and informative. Really enjoyed it. The only let down was the way it was read. Sounded very digital.

Very robotic narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The narrator’s voice sounded a little bit like an AI generated voice so I found it hard to stay engaged especially as the content is so technical. The majority of the book is focused on how terrible gluten is, but what’s missing is how it can exist in a balanced diet and what we can do to balance out the inflammation instead of cutting out gluten completely.
