98: Max Lugavere on How To Optimize Your Brain Through Food and Nutrition

If you’ve ever even scratched the surface of diet research, you know there are many misconceptions and lots of loosely interpreted research that many advocates of certain diets will use to vehemently defend their point of view while denouncing other diets. 

Here to help us see through that kind of research is return guest, Max Lugavere, a filmmaker, health and science journalist, and the author of the New York Times bestseller, Genius Foods. He is also the host of the number one iTunes health podcast, The Genius Life, and his most recent cookbook, Genius Kitchen, is number one in the nutrition category on Amazon. Focused on brain health, performance, and longevity, Max shares his research in order to help us eat a well-rounded diet and optimize our health. 

In today’s episode, he speaks candidly his own dietary biases and what he feels are the top five foods that we should all be including in our diet. We talk about lab work transparency, his growing social media platforms, and how he was able to rise above the noise to become one of the leading voices in wellness. 

We also discuss how he approaches engaging with trolls and ‘passionate' commenters, which he gets a lot of, given his position as a prolific health enthusiast! For all this and more from one of the foremost authorities on nutrition, make sure not to miss today’s conversation with Max Lugavere!
