5 Steps To Reduce Brain Inflammation Today

This episode is sponsored by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens. While
inflammation is a natural part of life that can serve a beneficial
role, we start to see disease when inflammatory pathways are
constantly activated. That’s why many brain symptoms—like brain
fog, anxiety, memory loss, and more—can actually be caused by
systemic inflammation. The foods we eat, the toxins we’re exposed
to, our stress levels, and our genetics are just some of the many
aspects that can impact the body—and the brain’s—propensity towards
inflammation.  In this episode, I discuss inflammation in the
brain with Dr. Todd LePine. We dive into the many factors that can
drive neuroinflammation, the range of conditions that are linked to
brain inflammation, and how we work with patients to cool this
inflammation. I also talk with Max Lugavere about how nutritional
deficiencies affect the brain. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from
Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal
Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine, and is
an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. He has
been practicing Functional Medicine for over 15 years focusing on
Optimal Aging, Bio-Detoxification, Gastrointestinal Health,
Systemic Inflammation, Autoimmune disorders and the Neurobiology of
mood and cognitive disorders. Max Lugavere is a filmmaker, health,
and science journalist and the author of the New York Times
bestselling book Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More
Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life. He is also the
host of the #1 iTunes health podcast The Genius Life. Max’s
sophomore book is The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your
Body, and Become Extraordinary, a lifestyle guide to living happily
and healthily with proven, research-based lifestyle tactics, which
we dig into more throughout this episode. This episode is brought
