Over the past few decades the medical world has made great strides in treating heart disease, diabetes and even some forms of cancer but the same cannot be said for brain-related disorders.  We don’t have meaningful treatments for all-too-common neurological ailments, from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis to depression, and chronic anxiety.   Today neurologist and New York Times bestelling author Dr. David Perlmutter joins us on Healthwatch to discuss the latest science linking brain health and brain dysfunction to what goes on in our gut as well as practical advice on how to address various brain dysfunctions.  His latest book is Brain Maker: The Power of Gut Microbes to Heal and Protect Your Brain for Life.
