Ep. 307 - Reset Your Body + Brain with Max Lugavere

Author: Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik March 17, 2020 Duration: 1:22:16
THE INTERVIEW We are so glad to have author, filmmaker, health and science journalist Max Lugavere back on the show! Max’s new book, The Genius Life, is all about providing actionable research that anyone can use to start feeling stronger, happier, and healthier immediately. The truth is that most of us already know that there are things in our lives that we really shouldn’t put in, on, or around our bodies, but there’s such a disconnect between what we know and what we do. We dig into why this disconnect exists, break down what it means to live a genius life, argue the merits of plant-based diets, and learn the heart-wrenching story behind why Max became so invested in the relationship between our food and our cognition. We also talk about: How unhealthy foods often make the most outlandish health claims The plant-based trend The massive problem with food waste Why everyone should prioritize protein What to look for when you are consuming animal protein Integrating rest into your life + optimizing your sleep White fat vs brown fat The effects of melatonin on the body Toxins, plastics, + endocrine disruption Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!
