Brain Defenders Webinar – Dr. David Perlmutter & Dr. Dale Bredesen

In this Apollo Health webinar, Dr. Dale Bredesen hosted Dr. David Perlmutter to discuss his new book, Brain Defenders, and the emerging science of brain immunity.

The conversation focused on microglia, the brain’s immune cells, and their central role in cognitive health. Dr. Perlmutter explained how these cells can either protect the brain or contribute to neurodegeneration, depending on metabolic and environmental factors. Both physicians emphasized that conditions such as inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and toxin exposure can shift microglia toward a harmful state, influencing diseases like Alzheimer’s.

The discussion also highlighted a key takeaway: individuals have significant influence over their brain health through lifestyle factors, including diet, sleep, exercise, and environmental exposures.
