On this week’s episode of the ‘Your Jeevn’ podcast, Dr. Sohaib Imtiaz is joined by Dr. Austin Perlmutter, a board-certified internal medicine physician, New York Times bestselling author, published researcher, health investor and international educator.

They explore the importance of brain health and how it relates to decision-making and chronic diseases. Austin shares his journey of realizing the limitations of traditional medicine in preventing and reversing diseases and his focus on understanding the brain's role in decision-making. He emphasizes the significance of habits and unconscious decision-making in shaping our behaviors and the need to address the underlying brain state.

Austin’s mission is to help people improve their health by targeting the biological basis of “stuckness” in our brains and bodies. His writing, presentations, podcasts, and online educational programs explore how environmental factors influence our cognitive and mental state and have reached millions.
