Regular exercise lowers the risk of brain issues like depression and Alzheimer’s disease. Resistance training should also be considered for its brain health benefits.
Benefits of Strength Training for Brain Health:
1. Better brain health in those who engage in resistance training.
2. Improved brain function, particularly in the elderly, from starting weightlifting.
3. Cognitive improvements in people with cognitive decline after resistance training.
4. Decreased depressive symptoms observed through resistance training.
5. Regulation of Metabolic Balance and Immunity seem to be key
Tips for Effective Resistance Training:
Start light and gradually increase weight.
Consider working with a trainer for guidance.
Group classes can boost motivation and provide social benefits.
Resistance bands offer a versatile and effective alternative.
Pay attention to your body to avoid injuries.
Include leg exercises for maximum benefit.
Ensure adequate protein intake and consider creatine supplementation for muscle and brain health.

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
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 (

New science reveals the hidden toll on blood sugar, waste clearance and more! By Austin Perlmutter, MD KEY POINTS A number of recent studies highlight new pathways connecting sleep and brain health Sleep deprivation is now linked to more rapid brain aging An essential brain cleaning system may be slowed without adequate deep sleep Missing out on good sleep may damage healthy blood sugar levels Prioritizing good sleep remains among the most important things you can do for your brain We’ve all exp
How an common anti-fungal drug could help stop brain disease - YouTube
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.

These 11 Natural Compounds Help Build New Brain Cells GreenMedInfo
Your brain is capable of making new cells, but this capability declines with age. That is, unless you take action to combat it using lifestyle strategies and neuroprotective compounds found in nature
Even one night of better sleep may help your brain. KEY POINTS Sleep has known positive associations with long-term health, but it also seems to significantly enhance short-term brain function. Sleep may help us to balance out our emotional state, especially when it comes to negativity. Research shows that sleep is key to long-term memory storage, and may also help enhance short-term focus. Getting good sleep may help promote our creative abilities, especially by increasing insight in problem-so
Two powerful strategies to reclaim a brain-healthy breakfast By Austin Perlmutter, MD KEY POINTS Most "breakfast" foods are anything but healthy for our bodies and brains Try replacing processed carbs and added sugar with fiber, protein and healthy fat Look to incorporate key brain-boosting nutrients in your breakfast to jumpstart your brain health each day! You’ve heard it before: “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” But the reality is that for most people, what we call “breakfast
New research shows how inflammation may alter your view of the world. KEY POINTS Chronic inflammation is a major risk factor for our most common diseases Excess inflammation may also negatively impact our brain health Inflammation in the brain may lead us to make more impulsive decisions Inflammation in the brain may also increase our risk for conditions like depression In the last several decades, we’ve increasingly understood that chronic inflammation plays a major negative role in our health,
