The author of the New York Times bestselling Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life, previous podcast guest on the episodes: The Surprising Facts About What Bread Does To Your Brain (And What You Can Do About It) and also Why A High-Fat, Ketogenic Diet Chock Full Of Saturated Fat, Coconut Oil & Butter Could Be Destroying Your Brain (& What To Do About It) is back!
His name is Max Lugavere and his new book The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Become Extraordinary features a lifestyle program for resetting your brain and body to its “factory settings,” to help fight fatigue, anxiety, and depression and to optimize cognitive health for a longer and healthier life.
In The Genius Life, Max expands the Genius Foods plan, which focused on nutrition and how it affects brain health, and expands it to encompass a full lifestyle protocol. We know now that the health of our brains—including our cognitive function and emotional wellness—depend on the health of our gut, endocrine, cardiac and nervous systems as there is a constant feedback loop between all systems.
Drawing on globe-spanning research into circadian biology, psychology, dementia prevention, cognitive optimization, and exercise physiology, The Genius Life shows how to integrate healthy choices in all aspects of our daily routines: eating, exercising, sleeping, detoxing, and more to create a healthy foundation for optimal cognitive health and performance. Among Max’s groundbreaking findings, you will discover:
· A trick that gives you the equivalent of a “marathon” workout, in 10 minutes
· How to get the benefits of an extra 1-2 servings of veggies daily without eating them
· The hidden chemicals in your home that could be making you fat and sick
· How to boost melatonin levels by up to 58% for deeper sleep without supplements
