Hey there, Max Lugavere started researching brain health after his mother was diagnosed with dementia. He spent years with the science and wrote Genius Foods and The Genius Life. We read both and pulled out the practical core. Your diet shapes your brain, not just your waistline. Lugavere's central claim is that what you eat affects focus, memory, and mood directly. Genius Foods is built around foods with evidence behind them for cognition. Blood sugar is a brain issue. He points to research linking insulin resistance and Alzheimer's, sometimes called type 3 diabetes. His practical takeaway is to keep blood sugar stable and cut excess sugar. Extra virgin olive oil earns its spot. Lugavere highlights olive oil for brain health and points to its role in helping the brain clear problem proteins. It anchors his list of brain-supportive foods. Eat the short list often. His genius foods include olive oil, avocados, blueberries, dark leafy greens, eggs, wild salmon, and nuts. The idea is to crowd your plate with these instead of chasing a complicated plan. Food is necessary but not the whole picture. In The Genius Life, Lugavere widens the lens to sleep, exercise, and daily habits. He points to deep sleep as the time the brain clears waste. Lift and move for your mind. Lugavere points to strength training and aerobic exercise as protective for cognition. He cites better insulin sensitivity, lower inflammation, and more BDNF. To your health, Ciaran Founder, Inergize Health |
