What's going on everybody welcome to episode 290 of the Genius Life.

What's going on everybody welcome back to another episode of the show I'm your host Max

Lugovier Filmmaker, health and science journalist in New York Times best-selling author.

Guys I'm super excited on this episode of the show to introduce you to my friend Doug Evans.

Doug is a pioneer in the natural foods industry, a serial natural food entrepreneur most known for

his work as the founder of the company JuSero and he was also the co-founder of organic avenue,

one of the first exclusively plant-based retail chains in the country. He's also the author

of the Sprout Book, a phenomenal read which shows us how easy it is to boost the nutritional

quality of our diets with sprouts and sprouting. Doug is a super interesting guy who really

dedicated himself to learning everything you could ever want to know about sprouting by learning

to live off the food grid on his desert property in California. Man learned so much he felt he

needed to write a book about it and that book is pretty damn wonderful. Over the course of the

next hour and a half you are going to learn about the nutrient density of sprouts and why

sprouting can actually help us extract more nutrition from foods like nuts and seeds. You're

going to learn how to sprout the benefits of compounds like sulforphane which are created when

we chew cruciferous vegetables which I've talked a bit about on the podcast in the past.

And Doug brought in a number of sprouts for me to try live as we're recording. Sprouts

that I've never tried before from sprouted lentils to garbanzo beans to fava beans and more.

This was so much fun to tape. I highly recommend listening through all the way to the end.
