What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, neurological disorders, and premature death have in common? All can be stoked by high uric acid levels. Our most respected scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection.

But a medical revolution is underway that can solve this problem: Astonishing new research is revealing that the health of your brain is, to an extraordinary degree, dictated by the state of your microbiome - the vast population of organisms that live in your body and outnumber your own cells 10 to one.

Contemporary life provides us with infinite opportunities, along with endless temptations. We can eat whatever we want, whenever we want. We can buy goods and services for rapid delivery. But living in this 24/7 hyper-reality poses serious risks to our physical and mental states, our connections to others, and even to the world at large. Brain Wash builds from a simple premise: Our brains are being gravely manipulated, resulting in behaviors that leave us more lonely, anxious, depressed, distrustful, illness-prone, and overweight than ever before.

In The Longevity Paradox, he maps out a new approach to aging well - one that is based on supporting the health of the “oldest” parts of us: the microorganisms that live within our bodies.

Popular nutritionist Nora Gedgaudas returns with advice that may sound counterintuitive: eat fat to burn fat. In her new book, Primal Fat Burner, she explains the benefits and science behind a ketogenic diet: It switches your metabolism from running on sugars to running on healthy fats. As Gedgaudas reveals, numerous studies in recent years have refuted the previously promoted anti-saturated fat and anti-cholesterol agenda. Now, Gedgaudas explains, science shows that fat isn't a no-no but rather a yes-yes.

Today, most doctors, dietitians, and even diabetes specialists consider type 2 diabetes to be a chronic and progressive disease - a life sentence with no possibility of parole. But the truth, as Dr. Fung reveals in this paradigm-shifting book, is that type 2 diabetes is reversible. Writing with clear, persuasive language, he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease.

Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science.

Since the introduction of dietary guidelines calling for reduced fat intake in the 1970s, a strange phenomenon has occurred: Americans have steadily, inexorably become heavier, less healthy, and more prone to diabetes than ever before. After putting more than two thousand of his at-risk patients on a wheat-free regimen and seeing extraordinary results, cardiologist William Davis has come to the disturbing conclusion that it is not fat, not sugar, not our sedentary lifestyle that is causing America’s obesity epidemic—it is wheat.

An effective and practical program based on the Paleo lifestyle, customized to fit your needs! As the Paleo movement sweeps the nation, the health benefits of following the lifestyle of our hunter-gatherer forebears are undeniable. But what happens when we hit a wall and weight loss stalls, energy flags, or we're tired of restricted eating? We're not cavemen anymore, so why should we follow a strict caveman diet? In Your Personal Paleo Code, Chris Kresser uses the Paleo diet as a baseline from which you can tailor the ideal three-step program - Reset, Rebuild, Revive - to fit your lifestyle, body type, genetic blueprint, and individual needs.

The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

Luxurious and healthy eating lifestyle, luv it!
I've done a lot of health research the last decade, in part, due to my experiencing neurological issues associated with my eating lifestyle. After finally settling on Dr Perlmutter advice and knowledge, I've completely removed all my health issues niw that I follow the Whole Life Plan. This audio book was a perfect blueprint to accomplish it. I highly recommend this book in both print and digital audio.

Encouraging for adopting a healthy lifestyle.
The narrator was a little dry.
The content lays out a doable plan adopt a healthy lifestyle. It is similar to the bulletproof diet but more liberal in areas of suspect foods (like dairy, fermented veggies, and quinoa). If I even do half of the plan, I will be healthier.

You will change your life
The science of how your body responds to different foods is covered well here. I have done low carb previously with good results.
Recently, I had been battling Asthma (which hasn't plagued me since childhood), and using two inhalers daily. I had been eating out and consuming processed foods extensively. This book inspired me to revisit a low carb lifestyle.
Within a few days of low carb and grain free eating I no longer felt the need for an inhaler. The inflammatory response of my body to grains, was apparently worse than I had previously understood. Each day gets better, and I feel wonderful.
This book could change your life, as it has already done so for mine.

Love the content, but....
Where does The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Compared to other books about nutrition, this is one of my favorites.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Peter Ganim?
The absolute worst part of this audio book is the narrator. Peter Ganim is brutal. At times it is hard to stay awake as he is the most monotone narrator I have ever heard.

Buy it!
This book is not a fad diet, it is a life plan, it is a road map to eating better to become healthier. In the last 100 years, food now comes in boxes. How is that possible? Because they are loaded with chemicals to preserve them so we can make a quick meal even quicker. It is no wonder cancer is everywhere. Years ago children were sent outside to play and run off their energy, not anymore, now energetic children are diagnosed with ADHD and put on mind-altering drugs that will one day affect their health.
This book can be borrowed from the library but when you purchase it on Audible you will receive a downloadable PDF of reference material like foods you should avoid and why, and a list of foods you should use to replace the bad foods. There are also recipes, and menus, of actual food you will want to eat for 14 days, for example, a few times per week you skip breakfast, and for lunch have onion soup, 2 chicken drumsticks and some mixed greens (leftovers from the previous day) and Tuscan style pork roast, collard greens and quinoa for dinner and coconut pudding for dessert. There is also a recipe for a frittata that you can tailor to your own taste and a daily checklist to make sure you take your supplements (there are some that are suggested) do your exercise, have dinner, or days when you fast through breakfast and drink water. There are also recipes for all-natural cleaners to use in your home because even chemicals affect your body and can cause cancers.
I walked away from this book with more information than I thought possible. It has catapulted me to do more research on fermented foods for better probiotic benefits and now I ferment my own foods like sauerkraut, pickles, peppers, bone broth, and ginger beer. My goal is to help someone in my family who has Parkinson's be able to live a better quality life and hopefully reduce their symptoms, I'll keep you updated.

Another great addition to the series
If you have read the two previous books this one falls in line. It mostly serves as a melding of his prior books, putting everything into practical terms that use can use everyday. Much of what he recommends is back by studies.
