| 0:00.0 | What's going on, everybody? Welcome to episode 331 of The Genius Life. |
| 0:17.7 | What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the show. I'm your host Max |
| 0:21.2 | Lugovere, a filmmaker, health and science journalist in New York Times best-selling author. |
| 0:25.3 | I've dedicated my life to unraveling the science behind how our choices, including what we eat and |
| 0:29.1 | how we live, affect our cognitive and physical performance, how we feel, our health span and our |
| 0:34.4 | risk for disease. This podcast is all about how to live in that optimal state, which I call |
| 0:39.2 | living like a genius. Today's episode of the show is a super fun one in which I welcome back my |
| 0:45.1 | good friend, Luke Cook. Luke is an actor, he's a comedian, he is a content creator, |
| 0:53.1 | former podcaster and health science enthusiast. On this episode of the show, we cover some very |

| 1:29.2 | importance of having a healthy relationship with food, the effects of caffeine and melatonin on |
| 1:34.5 | sleep and jet lag, the benefits of exercise, a new study that shows a certain nutrient that can |
| 1:40.5 | potentially boost attractiveness, sign me up. We discussed an Atlantic article that recently found |
| 1:46.2 | a very popular nasal decongestant worth about $2 billion a year in sales is completely worthless, |
| 1:53.5 | so we discuss that, and much more. If you like the format of the show, let me know, and we will do it |
| 1:59.6 | again. I'm all ears, so let me know by leaving a rating and review for the show in your podcast |
| 2:04.8 | app of choice, not only is it a free way to support, but yeah, I look forward to your feedback |
| 2:10.4 | on this episode, where me and a co-host, such as Luke Cook, discuss topical articles in the world |
