Paperback : HK$129.00
The bestselling author of Grain Brain uncovers the powerful role of gut bacteria in determining your brain's destiny.
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 is revealing that the health of your brain is, to an extraordinary degree, dictated by the state of your microbiome - the vast population of organisms that live in your body and outnumber your own cells ten to one. What's taking place in your intestines today is determining your risk for any number of brain-related conditions.
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 lifestyle choices, 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.

"Bravo! Dr. Permutter's latest paradigm-shifting book shows us how
to manage our health, and especially our brains, through the new
frontier of science, the microbiome. By connecting the dots from
our gut to our brain, he explains how we can avoid disease, age
well, handle stress, and manage our moods. With revolutionary ideas
and practical advice, he gives us a fighting chance against brain
decline. I love this book!"--John Ratey, MD, author of Spark and
coauthor of Go Wild, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard
Medical School
"Dr. Perlmutter engagingly explains the hope-generating power of
the new gut microbiome-brain science, motivating you to regenerate

"Thanks in large part to dramatic and ongoing increases in
understanding the brain-gut-microbiome connection, there is new
hope for the treatment of many neurological conditions, from autism
to Alzheimer's to multiple sclerosis. David Perlmutter is a leader
in this burgeoning field, and his new book, Brain Maker, is a
landmark contribution."--Dale E. Bredesen, MD, professor and
director of Alzheimer's Disease Research, UCLA
"The single most important medical innovation in the 21st century
is making the link between the gut and the little bugs that live
there and nearly every chronic disease - from autism to depression,
from asthma to autoimmune disease, from diabetes to dementia. Brain
Maker is a game changer. For the first time, this brilliant
scientist doctor connects the dots and teaches us why we need to
tend our inner garden (our microbiome) and provides a radical but
simple plan to reset, reboot, and renew your microbiome. This book
shouldn't be called Brain Maker, it should be called Health
Maker."--Mark Hyman, MD, author of The Blood Sugar Solution
