How To Optimise Human Nutrition - Max Lugavere - #560

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Max Lugavere. He's a health and wellness expert, author and a diet advocate. Working out what to eat is hard, which is odd because everybody does it. So you'd think that signs of nutrition, a thing that the entire human race relies on multiple times per day, would have some definitive answers. And it does not. Thankfully, Max can explain why it's such a mess and give some solid principles that we can all use. Expect to learn whether carnivore is an optimal diet for us all to follow, whether organic and non-GMO actually makes that much of a difference, what to look for in a magnesium supplement, the actual signs of seed oils, whether sunscreen is a danger, why nutrition science is so contested, why calories matter but they aren't all that matter, and much more. Max is a legend. I very much appreciate his balanced and science-based, heavily caveated, rigorous approach to nutrition science, given that it is the realm of charlatans and snake oil salesmen and political campaigners who are ideologically pinned onto whatever it is that they want to believe in this particular week. Very, very good to have someone that is a balanced voice coming out of that world. I hope you enjoy this one. In other news, this episode is brought to you by Surfshark VPN.
