Bienvenidos ni niñas, welcome to another episode of the Genius Life. I'm your host Max

Lugovira Filmmaker, health and science journalist, and the author of the New York Times best-selling

book Genius Foods. In this episode of the show, I'm super excited to introduce you to my very

good friend Emily Fletcher. Emily is a world-renowned meditation teacher, and the author of the new book

Stress Less Accomplish More, meditation for extraordinary performance. I love Emily. She's

brilliant, beautiful, well-spoken, and really conveys the power and simplicity of meditation in a

dogma-free way. In fact, she taught me a neurotic New Yorker to meditate, a skill which I'll now

have with me forever. And I purposely use the word skill because that's what meditation is. You

need to learn how to do it properly just like riding a bike or knowing how to swim. And once you

learn, you'll have it with you for life no matter where you find yourself. Over the next hour,

you're going to discover how meditation acts like a cleanse for your mind. Why meditation isn't

about stopping your thoughts or sitting in weird uncomfortable positions, not all. The key

differences between mindfulness and meditation, along with a simple protocol for each,

how meditation can boost your sex drive, and so much more. I'm so excited to get into it,

and I feel like this is one of those episodes that you're going to come back to again and again.

This episode of the show is brought to you by Birch Bender's new Keto waffle and pancake mix.

Now I know what you're thinking. Max, what? Keto and waffle pancake mix? That is so against your

moral code. Well, actually, no guys, this Keto pancake and waffle mix is made of whole food

ingredients, no weird fiber extracts, sugar alcohols or anything like that. The ingredients are

almond flour, eggs, tiger nut flour, coconut flour, cassava, buttermilk, baking soda, and baking

powder, salt and spice. That's it, you guys. For two pancakes, there are nine grams of protein.

There's only five grams of net carbs. And most importantly, you guys, all you do is add water.
