What if everything you thought you knew about “heart-healthy” cooking oils was based on outdated science and clever marketing? In this episode, I've sat down once again with Max Lugavere, and we've had an amazing conversation about the metabolic chaos that modern seed oils are silently creating in our bodies, and why the food industry's favourite oils might be driving the global rise in chronic disease. We also uncovered some actionable steps that we hope to see prioritised with the new government, and especially with the Make America Healthy Again movement.

Highly processed vegetable oils, derived from seeds and beans, have become a dominant part of modern diets despite significant health concerns. Historical biases in nutrition science, influenced by the vegetable oil industry, have promoted these oils despite evidence from controlled studies showing negative health outcomes. These oils are unstable, prone to oxidation, and can create toxic byproducts, particularly when exposed to heat, contributing to inflammation and chronic diseases. Although they can lower LDL cholesterol, studies have shown that this reduction does not necessarily improve heart health and may increase risks for other conditions like cancer. In contrast, traditional fats like extra virgin olive oil and omega-3-rich foods offer more stability and health benefits, emphasizing the need for a balanced, minimally processed approach to dietary fats. In this episode, I talk with Nina Teicholz and Max Lugavere to explore the health impacts of different types of fats and oils, debunking misconceptions around cooking with extra virgin olive oil and emphasizing the dangers of industrial vegetable oils. Nina Teicholz is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat—especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. She is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence-based—work for which she's been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate. Max Lugavere is a health and science journalist and the author of the New York Times best-seller Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life, now published in 10 languages around the globe. His sophomore book, also a best-seller, is called The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Become Extraordinary and latest book Genius Kitchen. Max is the host of a #1 iTunes health and wellness podcast, called The Genius Life. Max appears regularly on The Dr. Oz Show, The Rachael Ray Show, and The Doctors. He has contributed to Medscape, Vice, Fast Company, CNN, and The Daily Beast, has been featured on NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, and in The New York Times and People Magazine. He is an internationally sought-after speaker and has given talks at South by Southwest, the New York Academy of Sciences, the Biohacker Summit in Stockholm, Sweden, and many others.

229: In this special episode, I'm sharing something a little different—my speech from a historic roundtable discussion I had with the U.S. Senate last September. Organized by Senator Ron Johnson and Calley Means, the event brought together incredible voices like Jordan Peterson, Vani Hari (The Food Babe), Max Lugavere, and Jillian Michaels, all talking about the state of American health and nutrition. In today's episode, you'll hear my speech, along with Max Lugavere, Vani Hari, Jillian Michaels, Marty Makary, Alex Clark, Jason Karp & Casey Means. We dive into everything from the dangers of food additives to the influence of corporate interests on our health. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be part of this conversation, and I hope you find it as inspiring as I did!

Justin Nault + Abel James join Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 696, to expose how health propaganda, corporate interests, and the illusion of authority have fueled a crisis driven by processed foods and seed oils disguised as nutrition, and how their journeys of personal growth led to finding purpose, radical authenticity, and the power of self-expression.

And we live in this massive world right now. where conflict never seems to end.

A little bit here and there is not the end of the world. But if you're saying that this is food, you're incorrect.

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.

Dr. Amen joins David for the second part of the episode, where they sit down to discuss the psychological impacts of nutrition optimization.

As streaming reshapes the industry, pilot season is a thing of the past, leaving creatives to navigate constant demands and year-round pitching. How do filmmakers find balance when the lines between work and rest blur? And how can unexpected pivots lead to more meaningful projects? This episode explores staying resilient in a world without structure, featuring Max Lugavere's decade-long journey with Little Empty Boxes, a deeply personal documentary about his mother's battle with dementia that evolved in ways he never expected.   Max Lugavere is a filmmaker, health journalist, and New York Times bestselling author. After his mother's diagnosis with Lewy body dementia, Max chronicled her experience in Little Empty Boxes. The film, which took over a decade to complete, shifted from an investigative piece to an intimate portrayal of love, loss, and resilience. In today's episode, No Film School's Gigi Hawkins speaks with Jason Hellerman, Max Lugavere and Chris Newhard to discuss: The death of pilot season and how streaming has transformed the TV landscape The endless cycle of pitching and the impact on writers' lives Finding balance between personal life and an unpredictable film industry. How unexpected creative pivots can lead to more meaningful work. Max Lugavere's personal journey documenting his mother's battle with dementia in Little Empty Boxes Chris Newhard's role in reshaping Little Empty Boxes through fresh eyes, helping it evolve into a deeply emotional and impactful documentary   Memorable Quotes: “The thing with pilot season not existing is interesting because you still have network TV, right? Network TV still generally functions the way it always has, except for it doesn't embrace the buying and research and development behind pilot season anymore.” [5:36] “The anxiety of pitching year-round is that you're also assuming these execs are reading year-round. They need a break too.” [9:03] “There were likely overlapping skills that I had learned as a short form content creator that could be applied to long form documentary filmmaking, but of course the amount of money and time and personnel required to create a feature length documentary… it's so different.” [26:28] “Being in front of the camera allowed me access to some moments that I think you probably wouldn't have been able to catch on film had I not actually had been there.” [41:04] “I just simply found that going with the emotion instead of trying to fight the tide was more beneficial for me.” [53:24] “He spent a lot of time and a lot of money trying to make this movie happen. And the first thing I did is I deleted it.” [55:42]   Mentioned: Max Lugavere on Instagram   Little Empty Boxes website   Max Lugavere's website   The Genius Life podcast   Max Lugavere's Books   Chris Newhard's website   Chris Newhard on Instagram   Jason Hellerman on IMDb   Jason's library of content on No Film School   Jason on Instagram   Jason on X   KYNO editing tool   Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web https://nofilmschool.com/   Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/nofilmschool   Twitter  https://twitter.com/nofilmschool   YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/user/nofilmschool Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nofilmschool Send us an email with questions or feedback: podcast@nofilmschool.com!

Max Lugavere discusses his journey into researching dementia prevention and the importance of lifestyle factors in maintaining brain health. He emphasizes the need for early intervention and the identification of biomarkers that can indicate risk for cognitive decline. The conversation also touches on the influence of the alcohol and food industries on public health guidelines, the role of physicians in prevention, and the power of individual agency in making healthy choices. In this conversation, Max Lugavere and I discuss various topics related to brain health, nutrition, and lifestyle. They touch on the confusion surrounding processed foods and veganism, the role of cholesterol in health, the importance of exercise for brain health, and the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy. Max shares his personal experience with his mother's battle with dementia and emphasizes the need for individuals to take control of their own health and advocate for themselves. Takeaways Dementia prevention requires early intervention and the identification of biomarkers that can indicate risk for cognitive decline. The alcohol and food industries have significant influence on public health guidelines, which may not always prioritize prevention. Physicians may not be incentivized to advocate for prevention, and the responsibility for wellness ultimately lies with individuals. There is no one-size-fits-all diet for brain health, but diets low in ultra-processed foods and added sugar tend to be beneficial. The conversation around prevention is growing, but public health statistics show that there is still work to be done. Processed foods can be a source of confusion and stress, leading to unhealthy dietary choices. While veganism can be a personal choice, making health claims and demonizing animal-sourced foods without strong evidence is misleading. Cholesterol is often misunderstood, and the risks associated with it may be exaggerated. LDL cholesterol should be viewed as a check engine light rather than a definitive indicator of health. Exercise is crucial for brain health and can help prevent and slow the progression of conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can have potential benefits for brain health, and the risks are often overblown. Individuals should take control of their own health, stay informed, and be open to updating their knowledge based on new evidence. https://www.instagram.com/maxlugavere/ Documentary Little Empty Boxes https://www.maxlugavere.com/ Thanks to our sponsor Sprout Pharmaceuticals.

With so many conflicting views on which nutrition route to take towards staving off Alzheimer's disease, there is too much confusion so Max provides a great overview of what route to take according to clinical data.Alzheimer's disease, one of the most dreaded conditions of old age, is unfortunately made even more of a burden by a gene called ApoE4. With two copies of this gene, you can double your risk of developing this devastating condition, proving that life isn't always fair. Even if you don't have the gene, aging still increases your chances, making it seem like no matter what you do, Alzheimer's will still creep up on you. But don't lose hope - animal studies have found that heat shock proteins can at least offer some protection against it.
