Brain Inflammation: The Warning Signs Most People Ignore | Dr Datis Kharrazian

The Julia Bradbury Podcast

Show Notes

What if brain fog, poor concentration or feeling mentally “slower” isn’t simply a normal part of getting older?

In this episode, Julia is joined by Dr Datis Kharrazian to look at the fascinating world of brain inflammation... what causes it, how it can affect memory, mood, balance and cognitive function, and the warning signs many of us may be overlooking.

They talk about everything from previous head injuries and poor sleep to blood sugar, muscle mass, environmental toxins and the air inside our own homes. Dr Datis also explains why movement is so important for protecting the brain, why protein matters as we age, and some of the everyday lifestyle changes that may help reduce inflammation and support long-term brain health.

This conversation was recorded at the Integrative & Personalised Medicine Congress in London.
