What if the reason you feel exhausted, foggy, and stuck in a health rut has nothing to do with your diet? Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter sat down with Thomas DeLauer to expose the hidden, everyday threats silently destroying your mitochondria — the tiny power plants inside every cell of your body. Most people have never heard of half of them.
Here's what's alarming: you could be eating perfectly and still be wrecking your mitochondrial health through poor sleep, the air you breathe, the herbicides on your food, and even the lighting in your home. Each one compounds the others, creating a slow, invisible decline that most people chalk up to aging — until it's too late. Dr. Perlmutter was a neurologist when his own father died of Alzheimer's, a disease he now calls largely preventable. That should stop you cold.
Imagine waking up with real energy, thinking clearly, and knowing that the choices you're making today are actually protecting your brain decades from now. Picture understanding exactly which supplements — like creatine and urolithin A — have hard clinical data behind them, and which environmental toxins to eliminate first. That's not wishful thinking. That's what happens when you follow the science Dr. Perlmutter lays out.
Dr. Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist, New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain, and author of the new book Brain Defenders. He has spent decades connecting mitochondrial health to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, metabolic disease, and everyday cognitive decline. Thomas DeLauer's conversation with him pulls out the most actionable, science-backed steps from that lifetime of expertise.
This checklist translates that entire conversation into a clear, prioritized action plan you can start today. Every threat is named. Every protective step is listed. Every supplement, lifestyle habit, and environmental fix is laid out in plain language so you can stop guessing and start doing. Grab the checklist and give your mitochondria — and your brain — a fighting chance.
Every checklist item comes with actionable notes to guide you — things like "Don't forget to do this before you start," "Avoid this common mistake," or "Set a reminder for 30 days out." Nothing vague, just clear next steps.
