What up family, it's episode 206 of the Genius Life. Welcome aboard.

What up everybody, welcome to another episode of The Genius Life. I'm your host Max Lugavira

Filmmaker, health and science journalist and author of The New York Times bestselling book Genius

Foods and The Genius Life. Guys, today's episode is all about nutrients for brain health and

performance. We're going to chat about what brain health actually is. We cover topics from
