Over the long term, dysregulated blood sugar and insulin resistance are known to contribute to a vast array of issues related to brain health, including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and Alzheimer’s dementia. In the short term, daily blood sugar fluctuations can have an immediate impact on our energy, sleep, mental clarity, and mood. Dr. Perlmutter brings an expert perspective to the Levels team to support product features, research, and education related to neurologic health, behavior change, and behavioral psychology. The science of behavior change is explored in depth in his most recent book, Brain Wash. “Dr. Perlmutter is the world’s preeminent thought leader about the relationship between metabolic health and brain health, and on how dietary and lifestyle choices are powerful and underutilized tools in minimizing our risk of neurologic and physical decline over time,” said Dr. Casey Means, co-founder of Levels. “More broadly, he has brought nutrition science into the mainstream conversation in a way that empowers each individual to live their healthiest and happiest life. He has a long history as a forward-thinking medical leader focused on scientific rigor and integrity. We are thrilled to partner with him in our mission to reverse the metabolic crisis by empowering individuals with personal data.” “We now recognize that the most fundamental issue related to declining brain health and functionality centers on energetics, meaning the provision and utilization of blood glucose. And our metabolic health powerfully influences all aspects of how the brain receives and produces energy from this source,” said Dr. David Perlmutter. “Levels reveals the dynamics of our unique individual metabolism as it relates to regulating our blood glucose and this provides a level of empowerment that is unprecedented in terms of charting our brain’s destiny. This technology allows each of us the opportunity to fully understand how our myriad lifestyle choices ultimately play out in terms of the regulation of glucose metabolism, and importantly, how we can then make salubrious changes.” David Perlmutter, MD, FACN, ABIHM – Board-Certified Neurologist His books include the #1 New York Times bestseller Grain Brain, The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs and Sugar, Brain Maker, The Grain Brain Cookbook, The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan, and Brain Wash, co-written with Austin Perlmutter, M.D. He is the editor of The Microbiome and the Brain (2020).
