Recent research continues to show that there is no health benefit to drinking alcohol, even at low or “moderate” levels. As a result, more people are rethinking their relationship with alcohol, and I’m all for it. The challenge is often figuring out what to reach for instead, especially in social settings. I’ve been testing a number of non-alcoholic options and have found a few that check important boxes. One of the most overlooked factors is sugar content. Sugar is something many people do not

Do you regularly opt for erythritol as a blood-sugar friendly sweetener? You may need to reconsider. New research suggests consumption of erythritol could mean higher oxidative stress and reduced nitric oxide, both of which impair cardiovascular and metabolic health. Findings even connect high circulating erythritol with increased clot risk. Safer alternatives such as monk fruit and allulose (my personal favorite) don’t appear to share these downsides and may offer additional metabolic benefits.

If you are working to cut back on sugar, a sweetener I often recommend is allulose. It’s a naturally occurring sugar that does not raise blood sugar or interfere with insulin function. It also avoids the cardiovascular concerns that have been linked to some sugar alcohols such as erythritol. If you want something sweet, give allulose a try. It can be a smarter choice that supports both metabolic and brain health. | David Perlmutter, M.D.

Berberine has become a popular supplement for supporting healthy blood sugar. I was recently asked whether it should be taken before high-carb meals. Here's my perspective: Berberine activates the same metabolic pathway as metformin, called AMPK. While that’s promising, the most effective and reliable way to activate this pathway is through regular movement and exercise. Berberine can be a helpful tool, yet it works best as part of a thoughtful daily routine (supplementing and movement), not as

This is a message of hope, and I want to be sure it comes through clearly: Parkinson’s isn’t just about genetics. While we can’t change our DNA, we can influence many of the other factors that affect risk, such as blood sugar imbalance, toxin exposure, and repeated head trauma. Type 2 diabetes, for example, is linked to a significantly higher risk of Parkinson’s. But because it’s often preventable through nutrition and lifestyle, that gives us more control than we may realize. From your plate to

There’s a strong connection between high levels of inflammation and ANY chronic degenerative condition, including degenerative conditions of the brain such as Alzheimer’s. That’s why it’s important that we do everything we can to keep inflammation in check. That means keeping blood sugar low and keeping our gut lining intact — key players in reining in inflammation. | David Perlmutter, M.D.

As a neurologist, I welcome any advancement in early Alzheimer's detection and research. That said, I always come back to this: even though we don’t have all the answers yet, we do know a lot about how to support long-term brain health. We can choose daily habits that reduce our risk, such as regular exercise, restorative sleep, blood sugar balance, meaningful connection, and targeted nutrition. In my opinion, there’s no need to wait for a diagnosis to take action. | David Perlmutter, M.D.

What do I believe is the single most important leverageable factor that relates to reducing your Alzheimer’s risk? This isn’t an easy one for me to answer, but if I had to choose just one, the choice would be sleep. Quality sleep directly impacts several lifestyle factors from balanced blood sugar to energy to move your body. If you’re going to start somewhere, you may want to consider starting with improving your sleep quality. | David Perlmutter, M.D.

Food marketing has become very good at borrowing the language of health. Words like “natural,” “plant-based,” and “from coconuts” are often used to create a sense of safety around ingredients that still behave the same way in the body. Sugar is one of the clearest examples of this disconnect. From a metabolic perspective, the source matters far less than the physiological response. Added sugars, regardless of origin, place a burden on blood sugar regulation and insulin signaling. Over time, that

I recently shared about berberine, a natural compound that supports fat metabolism and improves insulin sensitivity in a way similar to metformin. Since then, I’ve been asked whether eating barberries can provide a natural source of berberine. Barberries do contain berberine, usually around 5–7 percent, but the amount varies and you would need to eat a lot to reach an effective dosage. That’s why a high-quality berberine supplement is usually more reliable. Barberries and other nutrient-dense fr
