Summary

Today I was joined by the amazing Max Lugavere. He's known as the #1 expert when it comes to optimal nutrition and disease prevention. He speaks about his personal experience with his mom when she was diagnosed with Alzheimers, and how he dove deep into researching ways to prevent disease. Since then he has continued to share and expand on his knowledge. We talk about genius foods, veganism, oysters, gluten, dairy, all the things! My mind was blown by this episode - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
