Nurturing Gut Health Through A Few Easy Strategies Can Alter Your Brain’s Destiny For The Better
BRAIN MAKER
FROM INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED NEUROLOGIST AND #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR,
DAVID PERLMUTTER, M.D. author on Brain Maker
There have been strides in treating many life-threatening illnesses, including heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The same, however, cannot be said for brain-related disorders. We don’t have meaningful treatments, let alone cures, for our most challenging but all too common neurological ailments. The good news is that the latest, cutting-edge science now links brain health and brain dysfunction to what goes on in the gut. #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain, Dr. David Perlmutter, shares this extraordinary new science, in lay terms, as well as practical advice on how to protect your brain in BRAIN MAKER: The Power of Gut Microbes to Heal and Protect Your Brain—for Life. Dr. Perlmutter offers recommendations designed to treat and prevent brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s and dementia; alleviate moodiness and depression; bolster our immune system and reduce autoimmunity; and improve metabolic disorders, including diabetes and obesity, which do factor into long-term brain health.
In BRAIN MAKER, Dr. Permlutter outlines what to eat and the simple dietary changes we need to make for better brain health including the role of prebiotics, the nutrient sources of fuel for the bacteria living within our guts; how probiotics, living microorganisms that encourage beneficial bacteria already living in the body, play a role in brain health; how fermented foods, such as yogurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi, open the door to healthy brain function; and how exercise, sleep, and stress management influence our brain health.

Lee’s Journey…

Lee studied at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro to and received a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Architecture with a minor in Psychology in 1990. Interior Architecture is a combination of Interior Decoration, Interior Design & Industrial Design only; it does not include an Architectural degree. Lee has over twenty (20) years of experience in the Architectural and Interior Design industries in both Europe and the USA.

As a self proclaimed “learning enthusiast,” Lee has expanded her skill set to include: Aromatherapy, expertise gained at the Tisserand Institute in London; Reflexology, as studied in both Europe and the USA; and Feng Shui, having achieved certification at the BTB Feng Shui Masters Training Program in New York City under the teachings of the Grand Master Thomas Lin Yun. In 2013 Lee earned her accredidation from the U.S. Green Building Council as a LEED Green Associate.

Lee now has a one-of-a-kind combination of expertise in corporate and residential design, plus the in-depth knowledge of ancient Eastern philosophies that create an extraordinary Holistic Interior Architectural approach for her clients.

Her boutique firm is located in Tribeca, where for the last decade Lee has cultivated a following of clients that value her unique methodology used in a range of projects, including full-gut renovations, smaller decorating challenges, and Feng Shui analyses of potential new properties. Lee and her team creatively and enthusiastically guide their clients through the design project journey in a way that is not only beautiful, but also insightful and fun.
