Alzheimer's disease begins in the brain 30 to 40 years before the first symptom. These diseases begin far earlier than the emergence of symptoms.

And that's why when I thought about the fact that I had previously considered Alzheimer's disease and even Parkinson's disease as old people's diseases, problems that only get when you're in your elder years, I realized that I was completely wrong.

Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger and as always I'm here with my producer Jason to Philipo.

So today we got some a little different. Usually we don't do health and wellness, but this is an exception because of the overlap in cognitive health and science. My friend Max Lugovier filmmaker TV personality and most importantly friend of mine.

He's a health and science journalist and a brain food expert. He's also the director of the upcoming film Breadhead and the author of genius foods become smarter happier and more productive while protecting your brain for life.

Today we'll learn that brain problems like depression and brain fog. They're not moral failures. They can be the result of our diets and lifestyles which are out of sync with the needs of our ancient brains.

We'll also explore how to arm ourselves for optimal brain function so that we can wake up feeling awesome every day while also protecting against aging and its associated diseases.

We'll discover why Alzheimer's disease is something that even millennials should be thinking about and that terrified me like crazy when I heard it chase and I don't know if you were in that boat but I was like, uh, okay that's bad. That means that this is happening now.

I'm a little post millennial but yeah that makes it even a little bit worse. Yeah it's worse for you. That's the point. So I enjoy this episode with Max Lugovier.

Max thanks for coming on the show man I almost feel like you've been on the show before because obviously knowing you in real life we hang out and so I'm like, oh yeah. Gotta have you back on the show and you're like never been on.

No big deal as to bunch never came on. Well it's great to be here and congrats on the new show I'm a big you know I'm a big fan of you personally and so now I get to be a fan of your new show which is exciting.

Look your story is incredible I knew this when this was going on before I think probably before right as you started your book which is called genius foods but I think at the time you were working on.

Breadhead. Yes. Your documentary give us a little bit of background here because you know normally it's like okay you're into nutrition.

I'm not the end but you're this is a very personal thing for you. Yeah so basically my background is journalism.

I got to sort of cut my teeth with the best of the best storytellers in the business working for a TV network that Al Gore founded back in 2005 it was called current TV and you know my role there really was to expose truths that were being under told through the you know the platform that was mainstream media is a TV network and this was sort of before.

YouTube was really as ubiquitous as it would ultimately become and I did that for five six years really learned how to ask questions how to you know reach out to experts in the field.

You know no matter what the topic was that I was talking about it was it was a tremendous learning experience for me it was almost like grad school for journalism.
