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 sheds light on the influence of the human microbiome in every aspect of health, including your nervous system. 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 the environment, 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.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Shaky research to back the claims submitted by Kimberlyrol on July 25, 2016, 9:17pm I was intrigued by this book. Who wouldn't want to find a way to beat ADHD and a whole host of life threatening diseases, and the good doctor has a seductive theory. However, after doing some research on his theory, I have found that it isn't based on true scientific research. He gives some straightforward steps to improve health, which seem reasonable, but will following his 6 step program heal people of their illnesses? Seems like a tall order. By the way, don't listen to this Book on CD on your way home from a long work day, the narrator, Peter Ganim, will put you to sleep.
