As it goes, everybody, welcome to another episode of The Genius Life.

I'm your host, Max Lugovere, a filmmaker, health and science journalist

in the author of The New York Times' best-selling book, Genius Foods.

On this episode of the show, I'm very excited to have Dr. Steven Gundry on the show.

Dr. Gundry is a former cardiac surgeon

and the author of The New York Times' best-selling book, The Plant Paradox.

His new book just came out and it's called The Longevity Paradox

and it goes deep into what Dr. Gundry believes to be the ultimate prescription

for an optimized life and health span.

Now, Dr. Gundry's ideas have been met in the past with controversy,

particularly surrounding lectins, a group of plant proteins that he indites

as one of the major culprits in modern chronic disease.

But as a celebrated professor of surgery and inventor of certain life-saving medical devices

that are still in use today, and a practicing physician,

I welcome the opportunity to discuss his new book with him with open arms and an open mind.

Plus, he's my friend.

So over the next hour, you're going to learn the one test that every human should get,

according to Dr. Gundry.

The specific group of foods he thinks that we're all eating too much of

and I'm not talking about nightshades, how to boost gut resilience,

and the surprising trick that you can use to enhance the appearance of your skin from within.

I think you're really going to love this episode of the show,
