Purchase options and add-ons
The author of the New York Times bestselling Genius Foods is back with 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.
The human body was honed under unique conditions that no longer exist. The modern world has changed dramatically since our days as hunter gatherers, and it has caused widespread anxiety, stress, and disease, leaving our brains in disrepair. But science proves that the body and brain can be healed with the intervention of lifestyle protocols that help us to regain our cognitive birthright.
In the Genius Life, Lugavere 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 minutesHow to get the benefits of an extra 1-2 extra servings of veggies daily without eating themThe hidden everyday chemicals that could be making you fat and sickHow to boost melatonin levels by up to 60% for deeper sleep without supplementsThe book features an achievable prescriptive 21-day plan for Genius Living that includes daily workouts, meal plans, and meal prep tips, and accompanied with helpful suggestions for healthy swaps and snacks.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and information read
Verified PurchaseMax once again hits it out of the park with his new book. This is a great follow-up to his first book, beginning by building upon the dietary recommendations he described in Genius Foods and then launching into a full-blown lifestyle guide. Max uses well-cited and solid evidence in a concise way that is persuasive but not overwhelming. He manages to present a ton of useful information in a very clear and communicative way, and presents a straightforward way of incorporating his plethora of tips into your own lifestyle.
Max is fantastic at relating to his readers. There were so many times reading this book that made me think "Oh, that happens to me all the time!" or "Oh, my mom / brother / best friend could really learn from this paragraph here!" Multiple times I found myself taking a snap of a passage in the book and texting it some friend or family member. (I sent a paragraph about healthy eating and its impact on anxiety to my brother, and the next day got a picture back of his uncharacteristically healthy shopping cart!)
I appreciate that Max sticks to his beliefs regardless of critics or sponsors, but at the same time is open minded and willing to revise his opinion should the evidence indicate. For example, in his first book he recommended consuming a specific number of grams of carbs per day, but in Genius Life he updated that recommendation to take into account individual's lifestyle and personalized goals.
I've been following Max for a while, but I still feel like I learned a ton from this book, and I've already made a few easy but significant tweaks to my own life (like throwing out all those paraben containing beauty products on my shelves and buying organic strawberries.) Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experiences Max!
