Brain Maker: The Power of Gut Microbes to Heal and Protect Your Brain for Life by David Perlmutter

4.0

Good, mostly a review of things I've learned over the last 5 years (especially through Kelly). The author at times was overly enthusiastic about studies - everything was "an amazing study!" or "unbelievable results" or miraculous findings". At times he sounded more like a salesman than a scientist. But it's all on track; so while I'd caution against thinking a healthy gut micro biome is the miracle cure for everything, it's definitely a leading issue in many major health issues today, and this book gives good practical advice on how to reset and replenish gut flora. He has his critics, but most of what he's saying isn't controversial or esoteric, if a bit exaggerated.
