703. Connect To Your Compassion Center

703. Connect To Your Compassion Center

Author: Almost 30 May 5, 2025 Duration: 14:32
Today we are joined by Dr. David Perlmutter, a Board-Certified Neurologist, Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, and author of the popular book, Grain Brain. He is recognized internationally as a leader in the field of nutritional influences in neurological disorders, and is a frequent lecturer at top medical universities. Dr. Perlmutter has helped so many people come to understand what excess grain consumption can do to our bodies, and what other ingredients, like sugar, can do as well. In this conversation, we talk about pushback that he’s received about his books and beliefs, the baselines of disease prevention that need attention, and women’s health. Dr. Perlmutter also shares his journey from neurology, into the spark for the work that led him to opening up his own practice, and ultimately to writing Grain Brain.

Finding this space might feel like a happy accident, but there's a reason you're here. Morning Microdose, from the team at Almost 30, is a daily practice designed to replace that initial, often mindless, scroll through your phone with something that actually nourishes you. We recognize how vulnerable our thoughts are in those first waking moments, and how frequently we surrender that time to digital noise instead of our own intention. This podcast offers a concise, sub-ten-minute experience crafted to consciously prime your mind, body, and spirit for whatever the day holds. Each episode weaves together perspectives from education, culture, fitness, and holistic health, creating a short but potent blend of ideas for self-improvement. You'll hear reflections on societal trends, practical wellness tips, and thoughtful insights that challenge the usual morning routine. It's about making those first few minutes count, setting a tone of awareness and purpose that can ripple through your entire day. Tune in and discover how a small, consistent dose of mindful content can fundamentally shift your morning-and by extension, your outlook.
