We’re living in a more divisive time than ever before. I’m not just talking about politics—we’re at aggressive odds over everything from diet (vegan versus Paleo) to sports and we’re even seeing an escalation in road rage. There’s actually a reason this is happening. We’re disconnected. Social media is actually isolating us; we ignore the importance of sleep and nature; stress is at epidemic proportions. These lifestyle disconnects cause structural and functional disconnects in the brain that lead to more divisive and angry behavior. Our ability to make good decisions pretty much goes out the window. But it’s not too late to reverse these negative effects. I was so excited to sit down with my good friends Drs. David and Austin Perlmutter on The Doctor’s Farmacy to talk about these modern challenges and how we can detox the brain to restore better decision making and overall health.
Dr. David Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist. His books have been published in 34 languages and include the #1 New York Times bestseller Grain Brain, The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs and Sugar, with over 1 million copies in print. Dr. Perlmutter’s new book Brain Wash, co-written with his son Austin Perlmutter, MD, was just released on January 14, 2020. Dr. Austin Perlmutter is a board-certified internal medicine physician. His academic focus is on understanding the decision-making process, how it is influenced by internal and external factors, and how it changes our health and illness outcomes.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Valuable life saving information.
Thank you brothers for sharing your knowledge.
Long story short. I was literally dying a slow death and the universe led me to both Hyman and Perlmutter websites on the same day. What I learned was crucial to my recovery.
Angina(chest pain) = magnesium deficiency.
And I have learned so much more.
This interview covers everything.
Including a great reference to Soylent Green. Wow!
We are victims of fatal programming from greedy psychopaths who are poisoning our bodies and minds.
Great awakening.
Thanks again brothers!
Peace and blessings
Wow!
Excellent dialogue.
Thank you!
Y’all should do a weekly program.
Mainstream media has been destroying humanity. Scare tactics to induce fear and anxiety. Toxic foods that destroy our gut. Toxic vaccines with no liability. I could go on and on. It’s all pre planned by psychopaths.
No more.
We are the news now!

Breakthrough and illuminating stuff Doc.
What a great podcast, I have sent it to several friends that I hope can benefit from listening and making some changes in their life.
“Isolation Media” …definitely using this label for “Social Media” from now onward!
#1….see the feed-forward influences that have ALREADY tapped into your brain…then step by step plan your own intervention/disruption steps. Small decisions overtime will decouple you from the downward spiral of what is now a globalized negative feedback loop. Ready, set, start stacking positive changes…dump the guilt!
Funny how the only ills mentioned by these men of the Left are white supremacy and being unconcerned about environmental destruction. Talk about setting up straw men in order to knock them down! They don’t mention Antifa and other groups that riot and destroy public and private property. I would wager that Leftist rioters spend a whole lot more social media screen time than blue collar workers who pound nails 8 hours a day and are sick of socialist tax policies. College campuses full of progressives are the most oppressive and hate filled places in America. The Perlmutters are using this science to push their obvious political agenda. The suggestion is that those who oppose their progressive agenda are suffering from mental disease. Bolsheviks used the same weapon to institutionalize their enemies.
Dr William “Wheat Belly” Davis promotes the l.reuteri bacterium for promoting the production of oxytocin. He suggests cultivating high CFUs by making yogurt with it, and consuming it. What do you think about that?
Oh wow this looks like a great talk. Ya people eating highly deficient food in great quantities, and they are still pushing to innovate the processes which are a source of these issues. I don’t know how when so many people are exposed to such off kilter over stimulating junk diet, they will find or rediscover ‘normality’. Or what vitality and exuberance there is to be had with life. It literally starts from the inside out.
“We don’t suffer from a lack of information; we suffer from a lack of ACTION”
As you, Dr. Hyman, have often said – health coaches are so needed. All the first steps mentioned in this talk and the weekly check-ins are what we coaches do and what doctors don’t have time for. We support doctors in supporting their patients. This will all work better when coaches become an integral part of the healthcare system. It will also give doctors more time to research and analyze and spend deeper time with patients.
Amazing! I will be watching this again many, many times.
