Grain Brain and Dementia, Movement Disorders, and "Behavioral Wellness" and Mental Health. It's All Connected

St. Patrick's Day was yesterday and I had to chuckle at the information I was watching on television from the author of the current bestselling book Grain Brain, David Perlmutter, MD. His message strongly reinforces everything we've had for the five years since Lumigrate launched in March of 2009, and carries it orders of magnitude further in terms of focusing on things related to the brain and grains that have gluten in them. AND things that drive the blood sugar up and down and around. Ever heard of 'glycemic index'?  read more »

If You Are What You Eat -- Would You Be Healthy?

Mardy Ross's picture

I asked the questions "If you are what you eat, what would you be?" and "what would you ideally be" in order to make people think about if they're eating the way they want to be.  As information goes forward, there seems to be an impossible amount to keep up with about food.  I feel proud that I finally remember which oils are the ones that are recommended for cooking.  Part of having a compromised memory as I do is that I maybe see how to simplify things for people.  However, to do that myself is cumbersome and in some regards 'over my head'.  <  read more »

Symptoms and Suggestions

Lumigrate's been in the making now for two years as a concept on my part, and went 'live' (launched) on March 27 at about 9:50 am our time here in Western Colorado (Mountain Time Zone) and generally everything's gone about as expected since then (though beforehand I was, shall we say, 'challenged' every time I turned around from the day I decided to get out of my previous clinical practice and 'do' what you now see as Lumigrate.com).  ....  read more »
