What up family, welcome to episode 249 of the Genius Life. Let's go.

0:18.0

What's going on everybody? Welcome to a bonus episode of the show.

0:21.7

I'm your host Max Lugovier, filmmaker, health and science journalist and New York Times best-selling

0:26.3

author. I've dedicated my life to unraveling the science behind our choices, including what we

0:30.4

eat and how we live, affect our cognitive and physical performance, how we feel, and our

0:34.5

health span and risk for disease. This podcast is all about how to live in that optimal state,

0:39.3

which I call living like a genius. On today's episode of the show, I welcome back Dr. William

0:44.7

Davis. Dr. Davis is a cardiologist and he's the author of the internationally best-selling

0:50.2

Wheatbelly series of books. His latest offering is called Super God, a four-week plan to

0:55.8

reprogram your microbiome, restore health, and lose weight. When I say that Dr. Davis is an OG

1:22.3

understand why. Specifically, we are going to zoom in on the microbiome. And Dr. Davis is going to

1:28.8

share why he believes that our guts have become so dysfunctional, due in part to the good bacteria

1:34.7

that have gone missing due to the modern world. As a result, many of us have seemingly lost control

1:40.8

over our health, weight, mood, even behavior. And Dr. Davis is going to offer an antidote. We also

1:46.4

discussed the role of animal products in a heart-healthy diet with Dr. Davis being a cardiologist. I couldn't

1:51.4

resist but asking him about that and so much more. I'm super pumped for this episode of the show

1:56.2

and for you to be here to listen to it. So thanks for tuning in and get ready for the ride.

2:01.3

I'm excited to welcome a new sponsor to the Genius Life family and that is Drive Farm Wines.
