What up team, welcome to bonus episode 204 of the Genius Life. Here we go.

What's poppin' everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the show of bonus episode of the show.

So glad to have you here. My name is Max Lugovier. I'm a health and science journalist and author of

the New York Times bestselling book Genius Foods as well as the Genius Life. Guys we've arrived at

the Monday post Thanksgiving and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Today's episode is a fun way

to ease back into the work week. We're back with another solo episode featuring myself and my assistant

Sydney Clark. In today's episode we're going to roll through a bunch of y'all's questions and chat

about some of the basics. Although it was said sitting across the table from me it kind of felt like

I was chatting directly with you and she asked me the questions that you guys posed to me on my

Instagram a couple weeks back which was beyond fun. In today's episode we chat about fats and oils

which are the healthiest to use and which are the worst to use. How to maximize the cardiovascular

benefits of a heart healthy diet. Ways to improve digestion and enhance elimination i.e. going

number two. The eternal debate of brown rice versus white rice. Why I cut coffee out of my life

and what you need to know if you drink coffee regularly. Why cream is healthier than butter despite

they're both being made from the same base ingredient and so much more. I love doing these solo

episodes. It's so fun to connect with you and learn more about what it is that you're interested in

and at the end of the day it brings me back to my roots. I'm here for you because I was once you

just trying to learn more and do my best to protect my health and the health of my loved ones.

So with that said I hope you enjoyed today's episode of this show. Again it was really fun to

tape. We covered a lot of different topics and please keep the questions and curiosity coming.

Before we jump into today's episode I want to share with you guys an exclusive deal that our

friends over at Ned have offered. Now through December 31st Ned, my favorite purveyor of the
