Are your joints painful? Do you suffer from daily discomfort? As it stands today, chronic pain affects more Americans than DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, and CANCER combined. In fact, chronic pain is THE NUMBER ONE reason Americans access the Healthcare system today. However, many people believe their only option for pain relief is found in drugstore options such as Ibuprofen, Advil, and Tylenol (to name a few). Tragically, most people are unaware that these pain meds do more HARM than good. Common side effects include Headaches, Liver and Kidney issues, High Blood Pressure, and in rare cases – even death.

What is the connection between the gut microbiome and Alzheimer's Disease? Most of us know someone affected by the onset of old age and perhaps Alzheimer's Disease. So what can we do to prevent this gradual decline in memory, thinking, behavior, and social skills from happening to us or those we love? It turns out that we can start by looking at our gut for the answers. Today's expert is Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist, and six-time bestselling author. Understand the relationship between the intestinal barrier and the blood-brain barrier, as well as the connection between inflammation, 'leaky gut', and brain health. As always, there's a lot of good information in this episode featuring two experts in all things health. From the gut biome to the 'viome', and the difference between good and bad bacteria, fats, and oils, Dr. Perlmutter brings a proactive urgency to how we need to take care of our brains by looking after our guts.
