Details Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781473619357 Publisher: Yellow Kite Overview Brain Maker is Dr David Perlmutter's groundbreaking exploration of the gut-brain connection, revealing how the trillions of microbes living in your intestines directly influence memory, mood, and long-term neurological health. Drawing on cutting-edge microbiome research, Perlmutter shows why conditions from ADHD and autism in children to dementia in adults may be linked to an unhealthy gut, and offers a practical, science-backed programme to restore balance and protect your brain for life. About the Book Debilitating brain disorders are on the rise, from children being diagnosed with autism and ADHD in record numbers to adults developing dementia at increasingly younger ages. In Brain Maker, New York Times bestselling author Dr David Perlmutter argues that a medical revolution centred on the human microbiome offers real hope of reversing this trend. He explains, in clear language, how the trillions of bacteria living in the gut form from birth, evolve according to diet and environment, and can become imbalanced or "sick" in ways that ripple outward to affect brain chemistry, inflammation, and neurological function. Perlmutter draws on his clinical experience as a neurologist alongside emerging science to connect gut health with conditions ranging from anxiety and depression to multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Crucially, the book is not just diagnostic but prescriptive: readers are given a straightforward plan involving diet changes, prebiotic and probiotic foods, and lifestyle adjustments designed to nurture a thriving gut microbiome. The result is a compelling, hopeful roadmap that empowers readers to take charge of their own brain health, and that of their families, starting with what happens in the digestive system. Written for a general audience but grounded in solid research, Brain Maker distils complex science into practical, actionable steps. Explains
