Summary

Discover the critical link between your brain and the food you eat, change the way you think about how your brain ages, and achieve optimal brain performance with this powerful new guide from media personality and leading voice in health Max Lugavere.

After his mother was diagnosed with a mysterious form of dementia, Max Lugavere put his successful media career on hold to learn everything he could about the workings of the human brain and his mother's condition. For the better half of a decade, he consumed the most up-to-date scientific research, talked to dozens of scientists and clinicians around the world, and visited the country's very best neurology departments.

Now, in Genius Foods, Lugavere uncovers the stunning link between our dietary and lifestyle choices and our brain health, revealing how the foods you eat directly affect your ability to focus, learn, remember, create, analyze new ideas, and maintain a healthy, balanced mood. He presents ground-breaking science and distills the latest research, including:

  • How food is like software for our endlessly capable minds;
  • How select nutrients can actually boost working memory and processing speed;
  • How slowing down the cognitive aging process is just as much about the foods you omit from your diet as the superfoods that you consume;
  • And how easy it is to modulate the quality of your thoughts and mood by food.

In the vein of groundbreaking best sellers such as David Perlmutter's Grain Brain, Tim Ferriss' Four Hour Body, and Dave Asprey's Bulletproof Diet, Genius Foods presents a comprehensive, practical roadmap to optimizing the brain's health and performance today - and decades into the future.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, this supplemental material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Genius 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Really enjoyed listening to this fantastic book. Max is super easy to listen to and explained the complicated stuff in an understandable way.
There was a lot more content than just a list of super foods and they went into detail about cutting edge research and studies.
Although this way of eating is certainly not main stream and could be quite a rude awakening if it’s your first book on the subject, if you dare to engage and try these principles you will undoubtedly feel better, have a sharper mind and know you are doing good for your body. Well, that is my experience so far!
Thanks guys for a great and detailed book. 👍🏼😊

Intersting but a gets a little dense sometimes

Enjoyed the books for sure. Certainly came away with useful information and am grateful for that. Sometimes it gets a little too information heavy on topics that weren’t really digested to easily. 4*

Mind Blowing

I thoroughly enjoyed this book which opened my eyes to a lot of assumptions I made about food.

Cognitively nourishing

As the book developed I felt myself becoming more affiliated, more cognitively healthy, and ultimately more educating through Max’s superb articulated narrative.
I will admit I was pretty hooked on his every word.

I know this is not a healthy way to be, but his delivery gave me that reassurance which made me feel more comfortable in promoting my own confidence in nutrition

You can hear the years of relentless uncompromising passion he was willing to learn more which inevitably became to share more.
I for one as a listener am in total appreciation to Max for his irrational optimism to deliver an optimal piece of nutritional nourishment.

Thank you.

Inspirational

Excellent book. Compelling arguments presented clearly with scientific backup - not overwhelmingly however. It all makes sense. I am a 100% convert. The good thing is he is not prescriptive. Merely suggests food and l

WOW! love this book.

I've read an enormous amount of books based on diet and lifestyle in order to be the best person I can be now and in the future.
What I love about this book is not only the solid science but the clear explanations, perfect for the non scientific community and great narration. Beautifully written and full of life changing advice.
I will be buying this for all those I love, as this book really has the potential to change lives enormously for the better.
Thank you Max Lugavere, I will be earnestly following you in the future.
On a final note what I really appreciate is at the end of the book the author spoke about questioning everything, including this book and not to get stuck with one idea of diet and health as science is always evolving and ( putting our egos aside) we should all remain open to new ways of thinking.

lots of useful information

I enjoy Max's podcast and this book was supplementary to that. Lots of good information and suggestions for changing in your own life, some of which are easily doable with little effort, but others do require financial investment to achieve. there's lots of people I would want to read this!
