One of the greatest fears people have is losing their memory. Nobody wants their body to outlive their brain, but it’s happening more and more. Alzheimer’s is now the number one killer in the United Kingdom, taking over cancer and heart disease. In Canada and the United States, it’s number three! A recent study from The Dementia Research Institute in the United Kingdom is showing that a healthy microbiome can trigger the formation of new brain cells in adults. According to the study, If you have a healthy microbiome, your gut will produce what it needs to help with neurogenesis, the regeneration of brain cells. This is a major discovery that should be heralded across the nation, but sadly won’t be. Listen to today’s episode as Dr. Martin shares what we can do to improve the health of our microbiome, and ultimately our brain.
