We Are In the Midst of a Brain Health Epidemic

Over 5 million Americans have Alzheimers disease and that number is predicted to triple by 2050. 6 million children in the US have been diagnosed with ADHD. Multiple Sclerosis affects 2.5 million people worldwide, and Parkinson’s Disease affects 10 million. 1 in 5 people in the US have  mental illness, and 12% of Americans suffer from migraines. The rate of autism in children has more than doubled in the past 10 years. I could go on and on. These are terrifying statistics, and it’s Dr. David Perlmutter’s mission to prevent these numbers from rising and help people improve their health if already diagnosed. A board-certified neurologist, he recently retired from clinical practice after over 30 years working with patients. He is the author of the bestselling books: Grain Brain, The Grain Brain Cookbook, Brain Maker, and most recently, The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan. His books have been translated into 28 languages and he has won the Linus Pauling Award for innovative approaches to neurological disorders.
