Max Lugavere is a science journalist, host of The Genius Life podcast, and New York Times best-selling author of Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life and The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Become Extraordinary.
What you'll learn from this episode:
Why not eating enough calories won't help you put on muscle, and what you should ideally be putting on your plate if this is your goal.
Good high-protein snacks, and why Max prefers fat-free Greek yogurt to a full-fat option.
The importance of getting enough iodine and selenium, and why even the most health-minded Americans probably aren't.
How to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to genuine scientific research and bogus pseudoscience.
How Max gets through a lull in motivation to work out, how he's been working out lately, and how he nourishes himself post-workout.
And so much more!
