Brain Maker: The Power of Gut Microbes to Heal and Protect Your Brain - For Life by David Perlmutter
bogwalker's review against another edition
Cherry picked studies and spurious claims. Loaded with disproven information.

Perlmutter is great at explaining the concept of gut health in terms that people who aren't doctors can understand and appreciate. This is a great intro to the concepts of gut health. I'd recommend it to others (like me) who are just getting into the research about this movement.

He's definitely a self-entitled quack, if you want a good breakdown of gut bacteria and it's impact on health, look at The Good Gut by Erica & Justin Sonnenburg which is more realistic about the current knowledge of microbiome research.

Unlike other reviewers, there wasn't a part of Brain Maker that I didn't find informative. I checked this out from the library, but I'm buying my own copy to have on hand for reference. And looking forward to making my own kombucha.

Thought provoking and seems logical, but I see no evidence of long term studies. Still, I will try some of the recipes and make some changes in my diet.

Pseudoscience.
It would be nice if someone would actually write a book about the changes in medicine and the flora in our gut.

Helpful for what I was wanting to learn about, but incredibly repetitive. I probably would’ve gotten the same information from reading a few articles.
