Microglia and Memory Loss: What Really Drives Neurodegeneration
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Perlmutter to explore the emerging science behind microglia, inflammation, metabolism, and brain aging. We discuss why Alzheimer’s may be driven more by chronic immune activation than beta-amyloid alone, how lifestyle factors shape brain health, and why blood sugar, sleep, stress, exercise, and social connection all matter. Dr. Perlmutter also shares practical ways he protects his own brain health every day.
