PODCAST EPISODES
Max Lugavere & Dr. Daniel Amen | Optimizing Nutrition for Maximum Performance
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. So let’s dive in!
For this first episode of The Dr. & The Nurse, David is joined by health and science journalist Max Lugavere. Taking a cue from Max’s New York Times bestseller, Genius Foods, David and Max break down all things nutrition optimization. Together the two hit on why ultra-processed foods are damaging your cognitive function, how to get more protein into your diet, what Max eats in a day to perform at his best, and some of the common misconceptions behind consuming whole foods.
Dr. Amen joins David for the second part of the episode, where they sit down to discuss the psychological impacts of nutrition optimization. Dr. Amen offers practical tools for eating healthier, outlines some of the foods that lead to improved cognitive performance (and the foods that do not), and discusses why sugar—not fat—is the leading cause of so many health problems.
