REPLAY: Neuroinflammation: Impacts on Immunity, Behaviour and Brain Function with Dr. Adrian Lopresti and Dr. Austin Perlmutter

FX Medicine Podcast Central

Dr. Austin Perlmutter, neurobiology, mood and decision-making expert, joins our ambassador Dr. Adrian Lopresti as they explore the biological basis of “stuckness” in the mind and how the brain is influenced by inflammatory/immune triggers which results is certain behaviours and health outcomes. Together they discuss the relationship between sickness behaviour, neuroinflammation and their effect on the brain leading to our inherent tendency to return to “default”. Nature VS nurture is discussed where exposures from foetal development, childhood trauma and genetic influences can impact our mental and cognitive flexibility much later in life. Austin explains “disconnection syndrome” a modern conundrum where our brains tend to latch onto impulsive behaviours leading to cognitive decline. It’s not all doom and gloom as Austin and Adrian bring practical solutions to the table in the form of simple lifestyle adjustments that promotes behavioural change and reduce neuroinflammation.
