Welcome to a very special series of The David Nurse Show: The Dr. & The Nurse! For this series of episodes, David is joined by Dr. Daniel Amen—renowned psychologist and mental health expert—to help break down how to perform at your highest level. Dr. Amen will be taking a look at the brain science behind the topics covered in this series, while David sits down with experts in the field to discuss the actionable tools we can all implement to make our lives better.

My guest today is on a mission to help people feel better, live longer, and maximise their brain health by optimising their diet. Max Lugavere is a science journalist and a New York Times bestselling author. He believes brain decline is not inevitable, we all have agency in how we age, and the secret lies in our food. This drive began following his mother's diagnosis with Lewy body dementia aged just 58, and his frustration at the medical world's ineffective, drugs-only approach to treatment. Years spent trawling the research and asking experts, “Why her?” has given him a wealth of knowledge that he is keen to share with others.Through his books Genius Foods, The Genius Life, and cookbook Genius Kitchen, as well as a long-running podcast, Max shares evidence-based principles that will help all of us protect our brains. And his passion, along with an encyclopaedic ability to recall and communicate the science, is why I really wanted to talk to Max on my show.Max talks us through the three food types we should think about cutting out – and why. We discuss ultra-processed foods and why it's not in our nature to consume them in moderation. He explains the wholefood matrix, and the protective synergy that comes with eating foods, in a minimally processed state. If you've ever wondered about the healthiest fats to cook with, Max covers this in detail. He also shares which specific foods he recommends we all include in our diets and what brain-healthy nutrients they provide. Perhaps controversially, we discuss the adage ‘Everything in moderation' and why this might not be the healthiest approach. If we're going to declare some foods good, says Max, other foods must therefore be bad. And within the context of a sick population, surely we should be bolder about advising people to quit the food types we know are unnatural and harmful? Having experienced the trauma of his mother's illness, Max isn't bothered about the critics, he's just really keen to help people. He's an advocate for informed consent, sharing facts to enable us to make tailored, better food choices. Above all, his message is one of balance and realism. We can all make choices every single day that set us on the path to better health, even if we're only taking baby steps. I immensely enjoyed my conversation with him.

I am honored to connect with Max Lugavere today! Max is a top health podcaster, wellness journalist, filmmaker, and author. He wrote one of my favorite books, The New York Times bestseller Genius Foods, and earlier this year, he wrote The Wall Street Journal bestseller Genius Kitchen. Max has been passionate about nutrition, supplementation, and fitness for as long as he can remember. In this episode, we dive into his background and how he developed an interest in brain optimization and cognition. We speak about non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors, the Food Compass nutrient profiling system, and outdated non-scientific nutritional guidelines. We discuss dogmatism in nutrition, the influence of the processed food industry, how our food has changed, and seed oils. Max shares some of his favorite Genius foods, and we also get into the value of sleep and much more. I hope you enjoy listening to today's interesting and informative discussion with Max Lugavere as much as I did recording it! Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Max tells the story of his mother's neuro-degenerative condition and how that sparked his interest in sharing research and scientific information with the lay public. Max discusses the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors that could influence your brain health. The Food Compass data and American dietary guidelines are inherently flawed and skewed towards the processed food industry. Max dives into why that is so and discusses various related concerns. As consumers, we need to do the necessary work to make healthy food choices for ourselves. Max talks about dogmatism in the nutrition space and explains why we need to be willing to challenge our beliefs and assumptions about food. What made our society fall so far off the rails around nutrition? Eliminating seed oils from your diet is one of the best things you can do to improve your health. Max discusses the Nova food profiling system and shares some frightening statistics related to the consumption of ultra-processed foods. Our bodies respond differently to nutrients if they are removed from the food matrix. Fraud derailed the research on Alzheimer's disease for almost two decades. Max shares his favorite Genius foods and discusses the best things we can do for brain health. Max strives to keep his protein levels up when traveling. How does sleep relate to brain health and impact cognitive function? Max talks about his new book, Genius Kitchen. It is available from any bookstore.

Did you know that 60% of the calories we consume come from packaged, processed foods that provide no satiety effect? As a result, we overeat those foods - and the repercussions are grim. Research shows that 1 in 2 adults by the year 2030 could be overweight or obese. And almost 9 in 10 adults have at least some degree of metabolic syndrome. In this conversation with Max Lugavere, you'll learn why the solution lies at the end of our forks. Max – a health and science journalist, New York Times bestselling author, and host of the podcast The Genius Life – talks about how we ended up here… and how to get ourselves out of this metabolic mess. Max shares with JJ the shocking diagnosis that pushed him to dive deep for health and wellness solutions. Along the way, he learned the connection between blood sugar and dementia, why brain health doesn't get the recognition it deserves (and the disastrous consequences), what makes us overeat sugary, processed foods (it's not a lack of willpower!), and why the calories-in-calories-out model has been a dismal failure. Whether you want to lose weight, support brain health, or look and feel your best (or all of the above!), you won't want to miss this information-packed episode. Tune in and take notes. You'll quickly see why JJ calls this one of her top 10 interviews. Get Max's free e-book to celebrate the release of Genius Kitchen http://jjvirgin.com/geniuskitchen

This will be a bite sized episode with the goal of setting a growth minded intention and focus, for the upcoming week. Each MINIsode will offer a quote that encapsulates the theme of the week. After the quote we will dive into a weekly focus. Something small that we can concentrate on for the following 7 days. As well as a physical activity tip and nutritional tip, that will assist us in working toward a more healthy and optimal way of living our own dream life. And each MINIsode will end with a recommendation for the week. This recommendation could be anything from a podcast episode to listen to, or a book to read, or even an article or paper, that I feel will help us better educate ourselves towards the overall focus of the week. If this is your first time listening to a MINIsode. The goal is to listen on Friday/Saturday or Sunday to be ready to start the challenges of the week on Monday. Listen to one MINIsode every week, and as that week finishes, move on to next weeks MINsode. You can start all the way over back at MINIsode #1 or join in with the team right now.
