A Fun Keto Adventure with Brain Focus
Genius Foods is another in a long line of recent books touting the benefits of a ketogenic diet. Each of these books has a twist. The Genius twist is a focus on brain health with three principles: eat mostly fat, but eat lots of fiber too, and do intermittent fasting.
Author, Max Lugavere, notes the key to excellent brain health is avoiding inflammation, overfeeding, nutrient deficiencies, toxic exposure, chronic stress, physical stagnation, and sleep loss. The book then runs through each of those maladies with proposed solutions, including lifestyle choices like regular exercise and lots of sleep. While the bookâs theme is brain health, the book focuses on health generally. Follow the Genius Foods lifestyle, the book sells, and youâre pretty much guaranteed not just brain health, but heart and gut health too.
Lugavere gives us 10 super âGenius Foodsâ to maximize brain processing and minimize brain decline: (1) extra-virgin olive oil, (2) avocados, (3) blueberries, (4) dark chocolate, (5) eggs, (6) grass-fed beef, (7) dark leafy greens, (8) broccoli, (9) wild salmon, and (10) almonds. The book alternates between a chapter discussing an important health topicâlike the importance of sleep or fasting, for exampleâand a brief chapter about a specific Genius Food.
The first key to Genius Foods is eating mostly fats. Extra virgin olive oil reduces inflammation, protects your brain against decline, and is shown to stop your body from converted excess carbs into stored fat. The book also points out the importance of DHA and EPA, which is mostly found in beef, eggs, and fish. If you donât eat those foods, the book recommends a fish-oil supplement. And thereâs lots of talk about MCT oil, which is shown to go straight to liver to produce ketones and can slow down Alzheimerâs progression. But in any event, according to Genius Foods, eat lots and lots of fat. When eating leafy greens like spinach or kale, for example, you must eat fat because it helps greensâ nutrients get to the brain. And saturated fats from animals are best and most chemically stable.
But never combine fat and carbs. Genius Foods says if you look at nature youâll see fat and carbs arenât ever combined, except in breast milk which is designed to make a baby fat. Plants have carbs and protein but rarely fat. Meat has protein and fat, but no carbs. If you go against nature by combining them, you will get fat and reduce brain health.
The second key to Genius Foods is fiber from vegetables, which is linked to better cognition, sleep, and a longer life. In fact, fiber consumption determines healthy aging more than any other variable including sugar consumption! Those who eat the most fiber are 80% more likely to be free of hypertension, diabetes, dementia, depression, and disability..
The third pillar of Genius Foods is fasting, which promotes a longer life and restoration. Fasting causes growth-hormone development, improved decision making, antioxidant production and cell repair, increased cholesterol recycling, and the ability to grow new brain cells. Fasting leads to ketosis, which is gets rid of toxins. 16 hours of fasting, and eight hours of feeding, stimulates fat burning and cell regeneration. Other types of fasting, like starving for one full day and eating all day the next, have similar effects. Find the fasting that works best for you and incorporate that fasting into your life for maximum brain health.
The book goes through all the usual keto rhetoric, like cholesterol isnât an important predictor of heart disease. Thereâs recent data, it says, suggesting that higher cholesterol protects against dementia. Studies show that people with higher cholesterol perform better on cognitive tests than people with lower cholesterol.
Like the author of Big Fat Surprise (https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RV7PR2274EKAX?ref=pf_ov_at_pdctrvw_srp), which Genius Foods cites, Max Lugavere is a journalist rather than a health professional. So, the writing is similarly compelling, and articulated in a way that anyone can understand. The thesis behind Genius Foods is the same as other books coming before it, like The Paleo Diet (see https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2G2574G7FO9VM?ref=pf_ov_at_pdctrvw_srp), which Genius Foods discusses.
With that said, Genius Foods is a fun, enjoyable read and reinforces what we should be eating and doing to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I very much enjoyed Genius Foods and highly recommend it as another great keto adventure. Five Stars.

Life changing book, simple to read and follow
Quick and dirty auto-bio story: Life long morbidly obese, sugar-addicted, diabetes type 2 a few years ago. I’ve managed to lose tons of weight for short stints, but was always “skinny-fat” and would gain it all back shortly. Never understood what I was doing wrong. Tried reading articles and books and whatever I could find for help over the years, talking to doctor and nutritionist many times, etc. I always HATED how contradictory all the information would be and none of the advice ever helped me sustain anything healthy, and in fact I think I always felt even worse off in the end when I would gain all the weight back. Last few years with sugar-addiction I’ve had a constant brain-fog, intense sleep problems, and miss a lot of work as a result.
Okay, so done with the background, here’s my point: this book is the BEST I have ever encountered. The book is chalk FULL of science, research and talking points from the experts in the field. BUT, at the same time somehow, incredibly, manages to be EASY to read. I’ve never read a non-fiction book so fast. I mean it. I could read a chapter a night even with brain fog. I bought the kindle version first, then later bought the hardcover book because the kindle can make it a little harder, in my opinion, to flip quickly to pages I wanted to mark (okay, I’m kind of new to the kindle).
Max’s book gives you the consensus on what the nutrition science has to offer. When there is doubt among the experts, Max lets you know that and gives you his best opinion, and the expert’s best opinion, on how to proceed. Each chapter chips away at a new subject that will, if you are like me, probably revolutionize your understanding of nutrition science. The book is complete, when you are done you will FEEL READY to proceed with a nutrition plan that works. Along the way you will get a very understandable education on how to optimize your sleep and exercise. You’ll understand both HOW and WHY these things are important.
I told my folks about the book, they’ve bought it and are digging into it now, too. I’m honestly so grateful that Max (and Dr. Paul) took on this monumental task of making this book, and they succeeded, in every way. I’m a couple of months into the process of implementing the changes found in the book. Lost quite a bit of weight, sleeping better and exercising most days of the week. Brain fog lifting and I can actually get stuff done during the day that I never would before.
I’ve NEVER been in a position like this before, of feeling CONFIDENT that I have enough information to sustain healthy living. It’s quite the empowering feeling. In the past, even when I thought I was making some progress, I still felt “in the dark” and full of anxiety that the progress would not last. This is the first time IN MY LIFE that I don’t feel that way. Thank you Max, so much.
FYI I had read most of Dr. Mark Hyman’s book “Food, what the heck do I eat?” just prior to Max’s book. I loved that book, too, and felt the two complemented each other so well. Dr. Hyman did a great job of creating a simple blueprint that I felt Max’s Genius Foods was able to expand upon and really complete for me. Either book is amazing stand alone, and as much as I loved Dr. Hyman’s book, IF I had to choose just one, you NEED to pick up Genius Foods. But if you can afford both, do it.
Max references his website a couple of times, but I honestly found it a bit disappointing. This is not worth docking a star or anything, the book is BEYOND 5 stars by itself, but it’d be nice if the official website was a little more interactive or updated regularly.
Lastly, I just hope that Mr. Lugavere will make a Genius Foods 2.0 update in a few years to keep up with any changes in nutrition science. Shoot, I’d reserve a copy of that the moment I heard about it.

Great Info, Enjoyable Read
Max Lugavere is a great writer that you can relate to. I appreciated his personal story about his mom with Alzheimer’s, which cemented the relevancy of this book. His style keeps you very interested as he shares important nutritional, physical, and medical information all relating to brain health. I came away feeling like I knew a bit more about the subject and felt confident that I could implement a doable plan to keep my brain healthy.

I have read many of the most renowned self-help books on nutrition and with each I learn something new. This book is outstanding. Having worked in the pharmaceutical industry I know the importance of evidence-based medicine. The bibliography alone in this book is staggering. I don’t know if any scientific papers have been referred to more than once as it would be too great a task to verify. What I do know is that the subject matter is complex but the authors have managed to make it quite accessible. For anyone who has a relative showing signs of dementia this book is an absolute must. For all others it is essential as a preventive measure. The link between nutrition and good health is now impossible to refute and this book explains it very clearly. The fact which has made a lasting impression is the value of coconut oil in brain health and obviously the immense value of a ketone producing diet.
