Grain Brain

David Perlmutter MD

Dr. David Perlmutter is a thought leader in the area of functional medicine (FM) and neurology. Grain Brain precedes Brain Maker and in it, Dr. Perlmutter focuses on the negative effects on neuronal health caused by wheat. He discusses the concept of Alzheimer’s Dementia as ‘type III diabetes’ and how this neuron damage is started and propagated by wheat. This is a well-written, easy read and a good introduction to those unfamiliar with nutritional medicine, functional medicine or food-based systemic inflammation.
