Be Well By Kelly is on a mission to simplify the science of nutrition. I want to make choices, not cheats. I want to live in balance, quiet my inner perfectionist, and never feel like my goals are out of reach. I want to love the way I look AND feel. I want to be proactive about my long-term health and wellness. I want to have a positive relationship with food for the rest of my life. And I want the same for all of you! Join me and some of my favorite people every Wednesday as we give you all the good stuff (and none of the bad) about nutrition: the positive takeaways, the tools and tips that will help you feel and be well, and a dose of motivation to keep you going.

Wednesday, 15 July, 2026
Neurologist and bestselling author Dr. David Perlmutter returns to discuss the groundbreaking science behind his new book, Brain Defenders. Together, we unpack why Alzheimer's disease may be driven less by amyloid plaques and more by chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and changes in the brain's immune cells. Dr. Perlmutter explains the critical role of microglia, how blood sugar and insulin resistance affect the brain, why gut health is directly connected to cognitive function, and what lifestyle habits have the strongest evidence for protecting memory as we age. → Leave Us A Voice Message!
