    🧠 Stay ahead with the latest in science, nutrition, and wellness by subscribing to Dr. Perlmutter’s newsletter at: www.drperlmutter.com. ✉️🌱 After decades of stagnation, the field of psychiatry is undergoing a transformative shift. For 75 years, mental health issues were largely viewed as “chemical imbalances” best treated with medications. While these medications have helped many, their efficacy is often limited, and they come with common side effects like fatigue, weight gain, and sexual dysfunction. Enter metabolic psychiatry—a groundbreaking new approach that reimagines mental health challenges as issues rooted in brain metabolism. This fresh perspective is revolutionizing how we perceive and address mental health conditions, offering powerful, practical, and safe solutions that are accessible to everyone. The most exciting discovery of our time? Robust mental health is deeply connected to robust metabolic health—and achieving metabolic health starts with a brain-friendly diet. For those struggling with mental health, understanding how dietary changes can provide benefits that no medication can is critical. However, the key lies in making the right changes—ones that go beyond conventional dietary advice. By integrating cutting-edge research on brain metabolism with evidence-based insights on brain-nourishing foods, we can unlock a powerful formula for optimal mental well-being.

    Hyperbaric Medicine Revolution: Long COVID Relief & PTSD Discoveries - with Dr. Amir Hadanny | EP 190

    🧠 Stay ahead with the latest in science, nutrition, and wellness by subscribing to Dr. Perlmutter’s newsletter at: www.drperlmutter.com. ✉️🌱 What makes a good brain go bad? And if we can answer that question, how do we fix it? Of all the things that we consider that are important for brain cell function, the activity of the mitochondria is primary. And, what do mitochondria need to function at their best? The answer is not a supplement. It's not other forms of nutrients, it is oxygen. And as it turns out, enhancing, the oxygen availability for mitochondria is a powerful therapeutic tool across a wide variety of neurological issues. Mitochondrial dysfunction is central to things like dementia, autism, stroke, head injury, and even long COVID. Hyperbaric oxygen is a clearly the most leading edge therapy that targets mitochondrial function and improves blood supply to the brain. This is a technique in which individuals are placed in a chamber, the atmospheric pressure is increased, and they breathe oxygen in varying concentrations through a facemask. Today we are going to visit the Aviv Clinic in central Florida as I am joined by Amir Hadanny, MD, PhD, Aviv’s Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research. Dr. Hadanny has done and continues to do incredible research using hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an interventional tool to treat a variety of issues, including those mentioned above. The results, that are published in preview journals, are outstanding. Clearly hyperbaric oxygen therapy, when provided with a regimented protocol as we see at the Aviv Clinic, is giving people, a second chance. ==== 00:00 Intro 00:01:28 The Evolution of Hyperbaric Medicine Research 00:03:00 Clinical Applications: PTSD and Long COVID 00:05:30 Inside the Aviv Clinics Experience 00:09:22 Long COVID Study: Research Design and Findings 00:33:40 Cognitive and Physical Benefits in Healthy Aging 00:37:28 PTSD Breakthrough Study and Government Adoption 00:43:47 Future of Hyperbaric Medicine 00:45:50 Closing Remarks and Future Prospects ==== Amir Hadanny, MD, PhD is a neurosurgeon and researcher at Aviv Clinics, specializing in the use of hyperbaric medicine to optimize brain and body performance. He also serves as Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research at Aviv Scientific. Dr. Hadanny completed his MD at Tel Aviv University, his PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology focused on machine learning from Bar Ilan University, and his neurosurgery training at Galilee Medical Center in Israel.

And this discussion always moves to the role of the sugars and refined carbohydrates in these foods in terms of threatening our metabolic health - and rightfully so. But there’s another threat associated with these and other foods that is equally important. And that’s the type of oils they contain. In this episode of The Empowering Neurologist, I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Cate Shanahan, a groundbreaking physician and the author of the eye-opening book Dark Calories. Dr. Shanahan dives deep into a topic that is often overlooked in conversations about nutrition: the dangers of seed oils and their pervasive presence in our diets. In Dark Calories, Dr. Shanahan reveals how seed oils—despite being marketed as healthy alternatives—can have detrimental effects on our brain and overall health. We explore the science behind these oils, explaining how they can lead to inflammation, oxidative stress, and toxicity, and how these mechanisms threaten our health. By bringing awareness to the hidden dangers of these ubiquitous ingredients, Dr. Shanahan encourages us to reconsider what we think we know about healthy eating. What makes this episode truly valuable is not just the scientific insights Dr. Shanahan shares but also the wealth of actionable material she provides. Throughout our conversation, we discuss practical steps listeners can take to reduce seed oil consumption and make healthier food choices. From understanding food labels to selecting healthier cooking fats, Dr. Shanahan equips us with the tools we need to nourish our bodies and brains effectively. She emphasizes the importance of whole, nutrient-dense foods, urging us to prioritize traditional fats over industrial seed oils that can contribute to chronic inflammation and cognitive decline. Whether you’re a health enthusiast or simply looking to improve your diet, this episode is packed with invaluable tips, like what to order when you go out to eat, that you can implement immediately. ==== 00:00 Introduction to Cate + the Dangers of Seed Oils 03:18 The 'Hateful Eight' Oils Explained 06:20 Origins of Vegetable Oils in the Food Supply 10:47 Toxicity of Refined Oils 15:03 Health Risks of Heated Oils 18:01 Medical Industry Conflicts 32:12 Strategies for Avoiding Harmful Oils 37:03 Comparison of Saturated vs. Unsaturated Fats 40:35 Impact of Toxic Oils on Chronic Diseases 53:00 Summary and Closing Out ==== Cate Shanahan, MD, has shaped the best parts of today’s food and health landscapes. Her books and other publications have taught a generation of health influencers what an ideal human diet looks like and the damaging effects of a collection of 8 common seed oils (“The Hateful 8”), informing the full spectrum of nutrition leaders, including keto, carnivore, functional medicine and more. Her science backed diet advice has inspired food entrepreneurs to make billions, including bone broth, live-culture ferments, and seed-oil-free business empires like the Primal Kitchen and Bulletproof brands. As a family physician, she has personally worked 1:1 with thousands of patients to improve energy metabolism and reduce fatigue, cellular inflammation, and organ dysfunction. Through her works and influence, she has helped millions escape the vicious cycle of sickness and drug dependence.  Dr. Cate’s Monthly Newsletter signup: https://drcate.com/newsletter-signup/  About Dr. Cate’s Books https://drcate.com/which-drcate-book-should-i-buy/ LinkedIn: @DrCateShanahan X: @DrCateShanahan Instagram: @DrCateShanahan  ___________________________ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/ Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/ Subscribe to our channel: https

    🧠 Stay ahead with the latest in science, nutrition, and wellness by subscribing to Dr. Perlmutter’s newsletter at: www.drperlmutter.com. ✉️🌱 Researchers around the world are looking at the role of a mechanism, inflammation, in what makes a good brain go bad, and specifically in diseases like Alzheimer’s. Dr. Jack Auty is a Tasmanian researcher who is focused on this process and is exploring a variety of inroads to inflammation, including, zinc deficiency, as well as the possible role of our ever-increasing exposure to microplastics in amplifying this mechanism. Dr. Auty has a very expansive social media exposure, bringing this information to the public awareness. He’s a very interesting researcher on a number of levels, including fieldwork looking at animals exposed to microplastics as well as translational research from the lab to humans again focused on inflammation and its damaging role throughout the body, and specifically the brain.  Currently, Dr. Auty is a lecturer in the Medical Sciences division in the School of Medicine at the University of Tasmania. He, in addition, serves as a collaborator with an organization called the Adrift Lab, and we will learn more about their mission on our podcast as well.   ==== 0:00 Intro 3:16 Studying the Mechanism of Inflammation 13:12 Optimizing Our Microglia 16:46 Polygenic Influences on Alzheimer’s 21:16 Accumulation of Microplastics  34:35 Avoiding Microplastics 36:53 Zinc’s Impact on Alzheimer’s  43:20 Removing the Blame From Lifestyle Choices 52:00 The Adrift Lab: Studying Microplastics 57:23 Conclusion ==== Jack completed a Bachelor of Science in anatomy with a neuroscience focus at the southernmost university in the world – the University of Otago. During his degree Jack took several botany papers and fell in love with the subject, so Jack continued studies at Otago with a post graduate diploma in botany followed by a Ph.D. which combined botany and neuroscience by investigating the effects of marijuana-like synthetic cannabinoids on inflammation in the ischemic brain, combining botany and neuroscience. After completing his Ph.D., Jack continued his research at the University of Otago with projects on hydrogen sulphide as an inflammatory signaling molecule and kamikaze neutrophils that release their DNA contents onto bacteria. He then moved to the University of Manchester, where he primarily investigated the role of the inflammasome in Alzheimer's disease and age-related cognitive decline. Jack was fortunate to have inspiring, supportive, and scientifically proficient supervisors and collaborators in Dr. Catherine Lawrence and Prof. David Brough, under whose guidance he was able to make significant contributions to the field of inflammation research. Currently, Jack is a lecturer in Medical Sciences at the University of Tasmania, where he investigates inflammation. He is focused on establishing the inflammatory properties of environmental microplastics and identifying the cellular mechanisms that mediate microplastic-induced inflammation. Additionally, he aims to understand how peripheral and central inflammatory responses contribute to Alzheimer's disease. https://jackauty.com ___________________________ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/ Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/ Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDRl_UAXxbHyOOjklnA0dxQ/?sub_confirmation=1
