What up family, it's episode 114 of the Genius Life.

What up, what up, what's going on friends, humans of earth pull together, will you?

I'm so excited to have you here for the next hour.

My name is Max Lugovier, I'm a filmmaker, health and science journalist in the author of

The New York Times, best selling book, Genius Foods and The Genius Life.

On this episode of the show, I'm super excited to introduce you to my friend Nicole Arbor.

Nicole is a comedian.

She's also an actress, a choreographer, a singer, YouTuber, and she's soon to be a podcaster.

She's known for her often controversial take on topical news stories, among other things.

And she, in this episode of the show, really opens up about her struggle with chronic pain

over the years and depression that has come from that and how she has managed to deal with

both of those things.

So this is going to be a very relatable episode for you if you've ever struggled with chronic

pain and or issues related to mental health.

Also in our chat, Nicole takes apart the medical industry, big pharma, social media, yoga,

art, and culture.

And the healthy at any size movement.

Of course Nicole being a comedian and especially one who is kind of known for ruffling people's

feathers, I want you to just be aware that if you're easily offended, this is probably

not the episode for you.

The other thing that I want to mention is that we recorded this weeks before the coronavirus

pandemic hit.
