Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of the Genius Life.

I'm your host Max Lugovir, a filmmaker, health and science journalist,

and the author of The New York Times' best-selling book Genius Foods.

In this episode of the show, I'm super excited to introduce you to Dr. William Sears.

Dr. Sears is a Harvard-trained pediatrician who's written more than 40 best-selling books

and countless articles on nutrition, parenting, and healthy aging.

One of his books, The Baby Book, has sold more than a million copies.

Dr. Sears is a wealth of knowledge, and in this episode,

we're going to discuss a novel antioxidant pigment found in marine animals,

an algae called asta-zanthin.

We talk about how consuming this pigment helps to protect your cells from the inside out,

benefiting everything from your skin, to your eyes, and brain.

We talk about the different types of omega-3s that are commonly found in the diet,

and we also touch on the difference between triglyceride forms of omega-3s

versus their phospholipid counterparts, which are the main type of omega-3s found in

krill oil and foods like salmon row.

And we also discuss why you're only as healthy as your cell membranes,

and how to ensure that they possess the important property of fluidity.

One of the reasons why I'm so excited for you to listen to this show

is that Dr. Sears has more than 40 years of professional experience under his belt.

He's seen nutrition and health trends come and go.

He's read every book, and as I mentioned, he's written a number of books himself.
