This research is literally mind-bending By Austin Perlmutter, MD KEY POINTS: How Psychedelics May Impact the Brain Influence on Neurotransmitters and Receptors: Psychedelics have a significant impact on neurotransmitters, with the serotonin receptor 2A playing a central role. They can also affect other neurotransmitters like GABA, dopamine, norepinephrine, and glutamate. Changes in Brain Activation Patterns: Psychedelics alter brain activation patterns, particularly in the default mode network (

5 Key learnings from 2023 By Austin Perlmutter, MD Over the last several days, I had the honor of attending and presenting at the annual Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute Conference. This year’s theme was “neuroimmunity,” which meant the focus was squarely on brain health. Speakers at the conference included some of the world’s leading researchers and clinicians on the brain, and the presentations were nothing short of outstanding. I’d like to share with you 5 of the top predictions for

Without medical breakthroughs, more than 6.4M Australians will be diagnosed with dementia in the next 40 years at a cost of more than $1 trillion. This week I want to discuss several exciting publications that have appeared in the research literature in 2020. It’s not just dementia, other diseases like Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, stroke, and even depression are increasingly being linked to something called mitochondrial dysfunction. The literature shows that 2 approaches called: methylene blue and photobiomodulation might be very effective. But why? This issue of mitochondria and its’ link with inflammatory processes has been known for some time. Especially, with respect to how fungal pathogens and environmental fungi seem to induce similar mitochondrial dysfunction in humans. I will look at what’s known about this and then review a paper from 2020 showing that fungi have been found in the brains of people with Parkinson’s disease. This has been termed ‘polymicrobial invasion’ and suggests that some brain disorders are catalyzed by infections. The main paper I want to focus on as part of this Livestream came out on August 14th, 2020, and shows that brain inflammation, cytokine expression, and memory can be actively modulated with a common anti-fungal drug. This is breakthrough research and suggests this treatment could offer real relief in the near term. Join me on the Livestream or on the Podcast to find out which drug offers this potential microbiological benefit and what evidence supports this claim. REFERENCES: Mudarri D, Fisk WJ.

We spend quite a bit of time talking about what we can do to protect and even enhance our brains. So much of our messaging deals with lifestyle choices like exercise, sleep, and certainly the foods that we eat. Basically, these are interventions that target the hardware, meaning the brain substance itself. Today we're going to chat with Jim Kwik. Jim has made it his life's work to actually target the software. That means, he is providing us tools that can absolutely enhance how our brains are able to do the various wonderful things that they are constantly involved in. Whether it's memory, creativity, insight, or any of the number of things that we depend upon in terms of brain functionality, Jim has created an incredible program that can really take our brains to the next level. His book is entitled, Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life, and his program, The Limitless Model is the focus of our time together today. He will give us terrific tools for enhancing our memory. And his empowering tools make so much sense as they relate to what we choose to do on a day-to-day basis especially from the perspective of our frame of mind, and how it influences not only our brains health but our total health as well. I sure enjoyed reconnecting with Jim today. We did share a stage many years ago, so it was nice to catch up. I hope you enjoy today's program. ==== TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 3:38 Childhood Brain Trauma 8:00 What Harms our Brain Today 16:00 Advice for Parents & Homeschooling 23:22 Tips for increasing memory 46:20 Conclusion ==== AFTER A CHILDHOOD BRAIN INJURY left Jim Kwik with learning challenges, he created innovative strategies to dramatically enhance his mental performance.
