What up friends welcome to another episode of the Genius Life I'm your host Max Lugovira

filmmaker health and science serenost in 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 good friend

Aubrey Marcus. Aubrey is the CEO of Onits a lifestyle brand based on a holistic health philosophy

that he calls total human optimization. Aubrey currently hosts the very popular Aubrey Marcus

podcast and is the author of the New York Times best selling book on the day on your life.

Over the next hour Aubrey and I discussed dealing with adversity. He's had a very difficult

past year to say the least and over the next hour you're going to discover some of the tools

that he uses to say grounded, focused and at peace. We chart new territory for the Genius Life by

discussing the difficulties in maintaining romantic relationships both monogamous ones and polyamorous

ones. We discuss how to maintain an appreciative relationship with them now to be present and to

avoid hedonic adaptation or that feeling when the once wonderful becomes the routine. We discuss

psychedelics and altered states of consciousness and why we need to reserve reverence and caution

for the use of mind altering substances. And finally Aubrey shares his current workout routine and

his nutritional philosophy and also the tricks that he uses to optimize his sleep. So as you can

tell we cover a lot of ground and this is one of my favorite episodes of the Genius Life I'm excited

as hell for you to listen to it. Now before we dive in I want to give a shout out to the sponsor

of this episode of the show and that is Ned. Ned makes a line of very high quality CBD infused

products. They just sent me their latest batch of their 1500 milligram tincture which is just

full spectrum CBD with trace THC which some people claim is required to activate CBD.

Disolved in a medium of MCT oil. The taste is very mild but you get that sort of slight cannabis

flavor which I actually appreciate. You know it's not it's not being flavored with artificial
