We often talk about nutrition, sleep, and stress, and rightfully so. Physical fitness, though, deserves just as much attention when it comes to protecting the brain. Cardiorespiratory fitness isn't just about heart health. It plays a critical role in regulating glucose, improving insulin function, and ultimately reducing risk for cognitive decline. Exercise is a non-negotiable part of brain preservation and the science keeps pointing us back to it. | David Perlmutter, M.D.

Inflammation is one of the biggest reasons a healthy brain starts to decline—and most people don’t know they’re at risk. There is a simple test you can do at home that gives you insight into this risk. It requires no lab work and no special equipment, yet it can offer valuable information about long-term brain health. Knowing these early clues helps you take meaningful steps toward protecting your brain before problems arise. Awareness is one of the most powerful tools accessible to you. | David

One of the most common mistakes I see in conversations about brain health is the search for a single dominant factor. People want to know the one best habit, the one best food, or the one best supplement that carries the greatest weight. The brain is not protected by isolated efforts. It is supported by the integration of systems that must function well together over time. When one area is neglected, the others cannot fully compensate. If you are focusing heavily on one area, it may be worth ask

A study from the University of Rochester found that even people who exercise regularly still face increased Alzheimer’s risk if they spend too much of their day sitting. This risk is even more significant for those who carry the APOE4 gene variant. The takeaway I have for you is this: Movement throughout your day matters. You don’t nee

Could too much sitting around be threatening your brain health? If you spend most of your day sitting, I want to remind you that change doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful. Movement isn’t just for your body, it’s nourishment for your brain. When you move, you’re creating chemistry that supports clarity, mood, and long-term brain health. I encourage you to make a small shift in your movement pattern today. It can make a lasting difference in how you think and feel tomorrow. | David Perlmutter

I recently shared about berberine, a natural compound that supports fat metabolism and improves insulin sensitivity in a way similar to metformin. Since then, I’ve been asked whether eating barberries can provide a natural source of berberine. Barberries do contain berberine, usually around 5–7 percent, but the amount varies and you would need to eat a lot to reach an effective dosage. That’s why a high-quality berberine supplement is usually more reliable. Barberries and other nutrient-dense fr
