What up family, welcome to episode 220 of The Genius Life.

What up everybody, welcome back to another episode of The Genius Life.

I'm your host Max Lugovira, filmmaker, health and science journalist and author of The New York Times

best songbook, Genius Foods and The Genius Life. I've dedicated my life to unraveling the

science behind our choices, including what we eat and how we live, affect our cognitive

and physical performance, how we feel and our health span and risk for disease.

This podcast is all about how to live in that optimal state, which I call living like a genius.

On today's episode of the show, we welcome back Dr. Stephen Gundry. Dr. Gundry has worked in

medicine for over 40 years and is probably best known for his work as a cardiothoracic surgeon.

But today his focus is on something very different, teaching people how to avoid surgery by using

his unique vision of human nutrition. He's the author of numerous bestsellers, including the plant

uncopling. We talk about the benefits of ketones with regard to their cellular signaling effects,

how to ramp up ketone production, how Dr. Gundry believes ketones can help you become a better fat

burner and much more. Whether you are keto curious or are a seasoned ketogenic diet, this episode is

no doubt going to inform and inspire. So, stop on your seatbelt and get ready for the ride.
