How to Change Your Brain With Food

Food isn’t just fuel for your brain—it’s data. In this episode, I break down how specific foods and nutrients can rewire neuroplasticity, power up mitochondrial energy, calm chronic inflammation, and optimize the gut–brain axis—so you can think clearer, feel better, and protect long-term cognitive health. We’ll translate the neuroscience into practical moves you can start today: which foods raise BDNF, how to hit daily fiber and magnesium targets, smart omega-3 strategies (including for vegans), and when creatine and B-vitamins make sense.

I helped start Lichen Air because air pollution is a top threat to brain health. We build science-backed air purifiers with advanced HEPA-14 filters and large-room capacity for brain wellness. Our industry-leading, third-party tested indoor air purifier removes up to 99.995% of particles of 0.3 microns or smaller (that includes bacteria, mold, pollen, smoke and much more). You can get an exclusive $100 off the air purifier when you go to lichenair.com and use code "Clean100". Again, that’s lichenair.com. Check out my newsletter! https://www.austinperlmutter.com/news...
