Resumen del Editor

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.

excellent

I loved this book. It was everything I already knew, and things i did not know, consciously laid out for me. I enjoyed this audible, but honestly wish I bought the kindle or book version. So many notes to take and the pdf. included did not contain all that I needed to write down. i had to clip so many sections and take a bunch of notes. I highly recommend this book but if you are like me and want to refer back to things, get a non-audible version or buy both. I wish the author would have included highlighted notes from each chapter in the pdf.

Genius Foods

I have read a lot of health books in my life but this one for me was GENIUS! Max truly did his research and the knowledge that he shared was intense but easy for me to wrap my head around. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Thank you Max for putting in all the hard work and research and mostly for sharing your knowledge. 😊

Spot on in every dimension.

The gut health chapter is a gem and it's not even marketed as a gut health book
Explained the microbiome to a point where it's easy to understand but goes deep. Will be buying the hard copy and highlighting it up. Will certainly be a reference for years to come.

I liked it

Some new and some old things I already knew. Great specific meal tips and recipes as well as science and facts.

Introduce to some, reintroduce to others

Came across recommendation for this book in a newsletter I get on well-researched books and after I read two other books on similar topics, both well-researched also. The book does a great job of mixing "nerd stuff" with lay explanations. Witty at time. Important info throughout. Author/narrator does a great job.

Love it

It was amazing love it and love his voice. Is a bit dense took me a while but love it

good reading, helpful tips

I'm not sure if it is really genius! but it is surely a very good, practical and useful summary of info about cognitive health, longevity, anti-aging literary well-being in general.

Saving your Brain

Great book on the importance of saving our brain. Very motivating and it keeps you engaged, a bit but for the whole family.

Great book!

This was an extremely well written and informative book. Everything Max states in the book is backed by case studies and clinical trials, which is huge! I would recommend this to anybody that is either health nut, or wants to become one and change their diet.

Lifestyle Changes

This book offers some great life style changes that you can make all together or piece by piece and become healthier. Most diets feel like all or nothing, so I end up failing when I can't live up to it 100% of the time. Genius Foods gives a bunch of solutions, and I fee like I can implement some and work on the rest, to eventually become healthier. Since reading the book, I've started taking MCT oil and collagen, and doing intermittent fasting during the weekdays only, 16 fasting/8 eating, along with exercise and I've lost 9 lbs. I'm also making smarter decisions with the foods that I eat. Great book.
