BRAIN MAKER: UNDERSTANDING THE MICROBIOME 5-DISC SET

Brain Maker with David Perlmutter, MD

Understanding the Microbiome

This comprehensive 5 DVD set delves deeply into the cutting-edge science of the microbiome, providing a clear and accessible explanation of how the trillions of microorganisms living in and on our bodies influence our brain function, overall health, and well-being. By translating complex scientific research into understandable concepts, the Brain Maker series reveals the foundational facts and evidence that underpin the Brainmaker program, which emphasizes improving brain health through microbiome support.

5 DVD Set includes:

A New Perspective

This introductory DVD sets the stage by presenting a revolutionary way to look at human health — not as isolated organs, but as an interconnected ecosystem where the microbiome plays a crucial role. It discusses how modern lifestyle factors such as diet, antibiotic use, and stress have disrupted this balance, contributing to a rise in chronic diseases including neurological disorders.

The Microbiome and the Brain

Exploring the intricate gut-brain axis, this section highlights the dynamic communication pathways between intestinal microbes and the brain. It explains how microbes influence mood, cognition, and neurological health through the production of neurotransmitters, modulation of inflammation, and impact on the blood-brain barrier.

Diet and the Microbiome

This DVD emphasizes the critical role of nutrition in shaping the microbial community within the gut. It discusses which foods nourish beneficial bacteria and which foods promote harmful strains, underscoring the importance of fiber-rich, fermented, and unprocessed foods while cautioning against diets high in sugar and unhealthy fats.

Gut Health, Immunity, and Inflammation

Delving into the immune system, this segment explains how the microbiome trains and regulates immune responses. It focuses on the connection between an unhealthy gut microbiome and chronic inflammation, which is implicated in autoimmune diseases, allergies, and neurodegenerative conditions.

Powerful Therapy for the Microbiome

The final DVD offers practical guidance on therapies designed to restore and optimize the microbiome. It includes strategies such as prebiotic and probiotic supplementation, lifestyle changes, stress management, and potential future treatments like fecal microbiota transplantation.

Additional Insights Into the Brain Maker Program

The Brain Maker program, developed by Dr. David Perlmutter, is grounded in the premise that a healthy gut microbiome is essential for optimal brain health. This holistic approach addresses factors that influence microbial diversity and balance, including:

The impact of antibiotics and medications: Overuse of antibiotics can devastate the microbial population, leading to long-term health consequences.

The role of environmental exposures: Chemicals, pollutants, and lifestyle factors affect the microbiome’s composition.

Importance of early-life microbiome development: The foundation of a resilient microbiome starts at birth and continues through childhood.

The relationship between microbiome diversity and chronic disease prevention: A rich and varied microbiome correlates with reduced risks of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mental health disorders.

Why the Microbiome Matters for Brain Health

Emerging evidence has linked microbial imbalances to numerous brain-related conditions, such as depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson’s disease. The Brain Maker series discusses how restoring healthy gut flora can:

Reduce systemic and neuroinflammation.

Enhance production of neuroprotective compounds.

Improve cognitive function and memory.

Stabilize mood and emotional resilience.

This 5 DVD set represents an invaluable resource for healthcare practitioners, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding how nurturing the microbiome can unlock the potential for improved brain function and overall vitality.

For DVD Player (North American NTSC)

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
