What a family, welcome to episode 326 of the Genius Life. Let's go.

What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of The Show.

I'm your host Max Lugovier, a filmmaker, health and science journalist in New York Times

best-selling author. I've dedicated my life to unraveling the science behind how our choices,

including what we eat and how we live, affect our cognitive and physical performance,

how we feel, our health span, and our risk for disease. This podcast is all about how to live in

that optimal state, which I call living like a genius. Guys, on today's episode of The Show,

I'm super excited to welcome Dr. Julia DeGange. Dr. DeGange holds a PhD in psychology. She's an

expert on the effects of chronic stress on our brain and on our behavior. She's treated stress

and trauma in civilian, community and military contexts. For more than 20 years, she's worked

with traumatized and underserved communities around the globe, and she's known for her engaging

and relatable communication style, which allows her to effectively teach people how to use their

brains to live better, more emotionally intelligent lives. On today's episode of The Show,

among many things, we are going to celebrate the release of her brand new book, Energy Rising,

the neuroscience of leading with emotional power. We're going to talk about the importance of

emotional power and how it can lead to a more honest relationship with one's own emotions.

personal transformation. And ultimately, we're going to explore over the next hour and some

and the need for a different relationship with our emotions. If you want to be stronger in your

personal and professional life, this is going to be an episode that you're going to want to pay
