The BeingBrigid Podcast is a candid, empowering, and deeply practical show for women in their mid-30s to 60s who are done with surface-level health advice. Hosted by Functional Medicine Dietitian Brigid Titgemeier, this podcast provides the missing piece in most women’s health conversations: context, clarity, and compassion. If you're struggling with energy crashes, hormonal changes, weight gain, chronic inflammation, or thyroid dysfunction, this show meets you where you are—with science-backed strategies that actually work, without the fads, fluff, or fearmongering. Brigid takes complex topics like blood sugar, muscle loss, perimenopause, and gut health and breaks them down into actionable guidance that fits your life. After a decade of helping thousands of women transform their health, Brigid uncovers what truly works, pulling back the curtain on the real, personalized solutions that make a difference. Conventional care isn’t broken, but it doesn’t offer the time, depth, or personalization most women need. The BeingBrigid Podcast bridges that gap with grounded expertise and conversations that respect your lived experience. What you’ll hear: - Deep dives into metabolic health, cravings, mental clarity, and perimenopause - Real client transformation stories - Expert interviews with leaders in functional medicine, women's health, and mindset If you're asking the following questions, you're in the right place: - How can I balance my hormones and manage perimenopause naturally? - What strategies can help me manage chronic inflammation and boost my energy? - How do I stabilize my blood sugar and avoid cravings? - How do I avoid diet burnout and stay consistent with my health journey? - Can functional medicine help with thyroid dysfunction or Hashimoto’s? - What’s the best way to eat for sustainable weight loss and longevity? - How do I heal my gut naturally and support my digestion? This is the podcast for when you’re ready to take control of your health, understand your body more deeply, and take action to feel truly supported on your journey.

How to Protect Against Alzheimer's & Calm Hidden Brain Inflammation with Dr. David Perlmutter
Aug 17, 20261h 7m
What if the way you eat, sleep, move, and manage your blood sugar today is quietly shaping your brain health decades from now? According to neurologist and bestselling author Dr. David Perlmutter, the conversation around Alzheimer's prevention needs to start much earlier—and it starts with metabolism. In this episode of The BeingBrigid Show, Brigid sits down with Dr. Perlmutter to unpack the groundbreaking connection between metabolism, inflammation, blood sugar, and the brain's immune system. They explore how metabolic dysfunction can influence microglial cells, why insulin resistance may be a major threat to long-term brain health, and what you can do now to build your own "brain defense system." Dr. Perlmutter also explains the science behind his new book, Brain Defenders, and shares practical strategies around nutrition, exercise, muscle mass, sleep, environmental toxins, and continuous glucose monitoring that can support cognitive health and longevity. What You’ll Learn In This Episode: Why blood sugar, insulin resistance, and metabolic health have such profound implications for brain health The connection between chronic inflammation, gut health, the blood-brain barrier, and cognitive decline Why Alzheimer's prevention needs to begin decades before cognitive symptoms appear How ultra-processed foods can challenge metabolism and potentially affect the brain's immune system Why muscle mass is an important part of brain health and longevity The role of both aerobic exercise and resistance training in protecting the brain How air pollution and other environmental exposures can contribute to inflammation Why supplements can't compensate for an inflammatory, high-glycemic diet How lifestyle changes may help support brain health even in people with an APOE4 genetic predisposition Why prevention—and taking ownership of your health—is so important for long-term cognitive function Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to Brain Immunity and Neurodegeneration 02:09 The Science of Immunometabolism and Brain Cells 04:00 Metabolic Compromise and Microglial Activation 05:27 The Connection Between Metabolism and Alzheimer's Risk 07:49 Early Prevention and Lifestyle Choices 09:17 Microglia M1 and M2 States Explained 12:10 Ultra-Processed Foods and Brain Health 14:07 PET Imaging and Microglial Activation 16:00 Blood-Brain Barrier and Gut-Brain Connection 18:12 Imaging Microglia in Living Humans 19:50 The Cost of Neurodegenerative Diseases 21:47 Controlling Body and Brain Metabolism 24:02 Personal Motivation and Family Impact 28:01 Genetic Risks and Lifestyle Strategies 37:03 Lifestyle Interventions and Cognitive Preservation 41:09 Environmental Toxins and Brain Health 45:02 Air Quality and Inflammation 48:01 The Power of Diet and Exercise 56:04 Exercise Types for Brain Health 01:00:00 Building Muscle and Brain Benefits 01:01:50 Preventive Strategies for Brain Aging Your brain health isn't something you have to wait until your 70s to think about. The metabolic choices you make today can become part of your long-term strategy for eating for longevity, reducing inflammation, improving energy, and protecting cognitive health.
