This week’s conversation is with Max Lugavere, a filmmaker, health and science journalist and author of the The Genius Life and the New York Times best-seller Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life.
Max appears regularly on the Dr. Oz Show, the Rachael Ray Show, and The Doctors.
After his mother was diagnosed with a mysterious form of dementia, Max put his successful media career on hold to learn everything he could about brain health and performance.
For the better half of a decade, he consumed the most up-to-date scientific research, talked to dozens of leading scientists and clinicians around the world, and visited the country’s best neurology departments—all in the hopes of understanding his mother’s condition.
Sometimes with the non-traditional route of education, I have my doubts, as there's something to be said about formal training.
But Max’s purpose is clear – he knows what he’s talking about and offers some very practical strategies that you can begin implementing today.
We discuss how critical diet is for both brain health and longevity – Max shares his nutritional recommendations and some tips for preparing healthy meals regularly.

0:02.4 | that I've ever had in my life to do anything |
0:04.8 | has been my mom's illness. |
0:06.8 | And so to me, I'm just, I'm highly motivated, |
0:10.1 | highly incentivized to understand why she got sick |
0:14.2 | for any semblance of closure that I can get |
0:17.3 | on what I experienced with her, |

0:21.6 | So I care about fitness, but I'm not obsessed |
0:23.5 | with macros and achieving a certain body fat percentage. |

0:30.5 | I work out mostly for my mental health |
