These Foods and Habits Boost Brain Health and Reduce Inflammation with Dr. Mark Hyman

This episode is brought to you by Pendulum and Cozy Earth. If you haven’t heard, me and Dr. Mark Hyman have been teaming up to do weekly podcast episodes called “Masterclasses.” We sit down and have deep conversations about the most important health topics of our time and give you all the answers you’ve been after.  This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, I am featuring two of our favorite Masterclass episodes all about creating optimal brain health and reducing inflammation.  We talk about the top foods to avoid—and to enjoy—to optimize brain health, why sugar is so bad for the brain, and how toxins can lead to neurodegeneration. Then we break down the meaning and function of inflammation and how it manifests as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression, and more. Dr. Mark Hyman is a practicing family physician and an internationally recognized leader, speaker, educator, and advocate in the field of Functional Medicine. He is the founder and director of The UltraWellness Center, Senior Advisor for the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, a fourteen-time New York Times bestselling author, and Board President for Clinical Affairs for The Institute for Functional Medicine.
