Researchers have identified more than 100,000 molecules in food, and most of them never appear on a nutrition label.</p><p>In this episode of The Empowering Neurologist, Dr. David Perlmutter sits down with his son, Dr. Austin Perlmutter, to explore the "dark matter" of nutrition: thousands of plant compounds called polyphenols.</p><p>They discuss how these nutrients may influence the gut microbiome, the immune system, inflammation, blood flow, metabolism, and gene expression, and what high-polyphenol diets may mean for memory and the aging brain.</p><p>Dr. Austin also shares his research on Himalayan Tartary buckwheat and what an early study suggests about epigenetics, cognition, and healthy aging. He offers practical ways to find more polyphenols in everyday foods like coffee, tea, dark chocolate, berries, legumes, and extra virgin olive oil, plus simple tips for identifying better options at the grocery store.</p><p>You don't need an expensive supplement plan to begin. Adding more natural colors and bitter flavors to your plate can be a meaningful first step.</p><p><a href="https://bttcorp.com/contact/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://bttcorp.com/contact/</a> for inquiries about Dr. Abreu's work.</p><ul><li>00:00 — Cold Open: Why Food Matters for Brain Health</li><li>00:55 — What Are Polyphenols, and Why Do They Matter?</li><li>02:15 — Food as a Predictor of Long-Term Brain Health</li>
